Entry Level
About Limetree
Limetree is a performance-focused marketing agency that blends behavioral science, data, and practical marketing know-how to help organizations say the right thing, to the right people, in ways that actually work.
We specialize in industries where customer interaction is high-value and high-stakes, including healthcare, financial services, and other regulated or complex environments. Our work connects insight to action, using behavioral science and data to inform strategy, creative, and delivery in ways that drive measurable outcomes for our clients.
Limetree has been recognized multiple times on the Inc. 5000 list, named an Inc. Best Workplace, and holds multiple patents that inform our approach to marketing performance, decision-making, and execution.
The Role
In this role, you’ll join Limetree’s lineup of contract behavioral scientists and work closely with our team on a client project in the healthcare space. You’ll collaborate with other behavioral scientists on strategy and diagnostics, then take the lead on translating that thinking into designs, copy, and concept work that brings behavioral recommendations to life. You’ll partner with our creative team throughout execution, ensuring behavioral science is meaningfully embedded in final designs, not layered on at the end.
What You’ll Do
Experience & Skills
We welcome candidates from a range of backgrounds and experiences who bring curiosity, rigor, and a collaborative spirit to their work.
Limetree is a fully remote U.S.-based company. Due to the nature of our contracts, this role is only open to U.S.-based applicants, and all work must be done in the U.S.
Contract & Compensation
This role starts as project-based, approximately 10 hours a week, with the potential to grow into a monthly retainer or full-time position for the right candidate.
Rate: $65–$100/hr, commensurate with experience
