Top Companies Hiring for Marketing Jobs in New York (Oct 2026)

You're applying to marketing roles in New York and you can't tell which employers are actually hiring right now. As of 14 October 2026, the JobRise live jobs feed shows 100 open marketing listings in New York, and 68 of them landed in the last 30 days. 22 posted in the last 7 days. A live snapshot of open listings. Not a market survey.

Who is hiring, ranked by open listings#

These ten companies hold the most open marketing listings in the New York slice right now, and the names appear exactly as posted, so some are recruiters or staffing firms where the listing sits under their name but the work is at a client.

• Brex, 14 open listings
• Datadog, 11
• Duolingo, 10
• Ramp, 9
• Justworks, 7
• Spotify, 7
• Faire, 4
• Squarespace, 4
• Chime, 3
• Fifth Element, 3

Brex alone holds 14 of the 100 listings, and the top four together hold 44. Below them the field spreads thin, so don't stop your search at the biggest names. The recruiter skims for 6 seconds. Big names help. Depth helps more.

The titles tell you what each employer wants, and they point at very different jobs. Brex lists "Senior Partner Marketing Manager," Chime lists "Manager, Corporate Communications," and Justworks lists "Senior Product Marketing Manager, Growth," while Ramp hires across paid and brand work. Fifth Element posts "VP, Strategy Director," "SVP, Group Strategy Director," and "Copy Supervisor," which reads like agency leadership hiring. Also in the slice: "Paid Content Strategy Director" at 1000heads and "Director of Influencer Marketing - Americas" at Huda Beauty. Read the titles before you read the brand names.

How New York compares with the country#

Across all categories, New York shows 1,165 open listings, and marketing accounts for 100 of them. For the country as a whole, the feed shows 566 Marketing job listings in the United States, so New York holds 100 of those 566. You can pull the full city list from the Marketing jobs in New York hub and check the wider national picture on the JobRise Hiring Report: the US.

Read that ratio with care, because New York carries a heavy share of national marketing hiring while most listings still sit elsewhere. If your search is New York only, you're fishing in a deep but bounded pond. Deep. Bounded. Both at once.

What the pay data actually says#

Only 11 of the 100 listings show a salary, which is normal for marketing postings, so don't read silence as a low number. Where pay is posted it clusters at Ramp, and the ranges swing wide.

• "Lead Product Marketing Manager - Verticals" at Ramp: $190K to $260K, offers equity
• "Product Manager | Growth" at Ramp: $230K to $325K, offers equity
• "Principal Brand Designer" at Ramp: $200K to $275K, offers equity
• "Paid Social Manager" at Ramp: $101K to $154K, offers equity, multiple ranges
• "Performance Marketing Manager" at Ramp: $112K to $154K, offers equity
• "Social Media Lead" at Ramp: $122K to $231K, offers equity, multiple ranges

Treat these as what those specific listings posted and not as a guarantee for any role, because ranges shift with level, scope, and negotiation. Confirm the current figure with the employer before you anchor your ask. Verify before you counter.

One blunt reality check: 0 of the 100 listings carry intern, graduate, junior, or trainee titles. This market right now wants people who can own work on day one. Early career? You compete on adjacent experience, freelance proof, and a portfolio, not on a junior label.

How to target each type of employer#

Different employers want different evidence, so match your pitch to the type instead of sending one generic letter.

Fintech and product-led companies, like Brex, Ramp, Chime, and Justworks, post roles tied to growth, partnerships, and product marketing. Bring numbers. Show a campaign that moved signups, activation, or partner revenue, and name the metric.

Platform and consumer brands, like Spotify, Duolingo, Faire, and Squarespace, want audience thinking, so bring content, lifecycle, or brand work that grew a specific segment. Be ready to explain how you picked the channel. Channel choice matters.

Agencies and recruiters, like Fifth Element and 1000heads, hire for client-facing delivery, and titles like "VP, Strategy Director" and "Copy Supervisor" mean they want people who can lead others and defend a point of view in a room. Show range across accounts, speed, and clean decks. Defend the work.

Worked example. A fintech posting says "partner marketing." Your resume bullet reads like this:

Before: "Ran partner campaigns and worked with sales to hit targets."

After: "Built a co-marketing program with 12 partners that drove 3,400 qualified signups in two quarters, owning briefs, budget, and the sales handoff."

Same job. One has a number and an owner. That's the one that moves.

Referral and outreach scripts#

Cold applications land less often than warm ones, so use these two scripts and swap the bracketed parts. Keep each message under 120 words. Send once, follow up once after five working days, then stop.

Referral ask to a connection:

"Hi [Name], hope you're well. I saw [Company] is hiring for [role title] and it lines up with the [partnership marketing / growth] work I did at [your company]. Would you be open to referring me? I've attached my resume and a one-page summary of the [campaign] I led, which drove [result]. Happy to make it easy for you, and no worries at all if the timing is off."

Cold message to a hiring manager:

"Hi [Name], I applied for [role title] and wanted to introduce myself directly. At [your company] I ran [type of work] and the outcome was [specific result]. The role covers [detail from the listing], which is close to what I did when I [short example]. If it's useful, I can send a two-slide summary of that work. Either way, thanks for your time."

The 7-step plan#

1. Filter. Open the marketing jobs in New York hub and save the 100 open listings by title and company. Ignore anything you wouldn't actually take.

2. Tier your targets. Brex, Datadog, Duolingo, and Ramp hold 44 listings between them, so put them in tier one, then Justworks, Spotify, Faire, and Squarespace in tier two, and the rest plus agencies in tier three.

3. Research before you write. Use the [free company insights tool](/en/tools/company insights) to check headcount, funding stage, and recent moves so your cover letter names something real instead of generic praise.

4. Rewrite your top three bullets per target. Mirror the listing's language. The posting says "partner marketing," your resume says "partner marketing."

5. Find one warm path per company. Search your contacts for anyone connected to the employer and send the referral script above.

6. Track everything. One row per application with date, role, contact, last touch, and next action. Review it twice a week.

7. Follow up on a schedule. Five working days after applying, one polite nudge, then move on and keep applying, because 22 new listings appeared in the last 7 days alone.

FAQ#

How current are these numbers?

They are a snapshot dated 14 October 2026 from the JobRise live jobs feed, counting open listings rather than surveying employers. Listings change daily, so recheck the hub before you act on any count.

Are all ten companies direct employers?

Not necessarily. Some names on the list are recruiters or staffing firms posting on behalf of clients. Read each listing closely so you know who you would actually work for.

Why do so few listings show salary?

Only 11 of 100 listings in this slice show pay, which reflects what employers choose to post. Where pay is shown, quote it as a range and verify the current figure with the employer before you negotiate.

I am early career. Is there anything for me?

This snapshot shows 0 listings with intern, graduate, junior, or trainee titles. You can still apply, but lead with freelance work, projects, and measurable results, and widen your search beyond New York.

How many applications should I send per week?

Aim for quality over volume: about ten tailored applications a week, each with a rewritten resume and one outreach message. With 68 listings posted in the last 30 days, the market refreshes fast enough to sustain that pace.
