Frequently Asked Questions – Lane Nine Careers

  • What does Lane Nine do?

    Lane Nine is a direct marketing and recruiting firm based in New York City. We work with mission-driven brands, nonprofits, and purpose-focused campaigns to help them grow through in-person outreach, event marketing, and real-world strategy. That means you might see us tabling at a university, running an awareness booth, managing a street team, collaborating directly with our clients for headquarter events — and that’s exactly where the magic happens.

  • Do I need experience to apply?

    Nope! Most of our entry-level roles don’t require any experience.
    We provide on-the-job training, mentorship, and coaching. If you bring a good attitude and energy, we’ll help with the rest.

  • What’s the schedule like?

    Most of our roles are full-time, in-person roles based in NYC.
    Typical schedules run Monday through Friday, with the occasional opt-in weekend hours . Some flexibility may apply depending on the campaign.

  • How much does the job pay?

    Pay varies by role and campaign. Most of our entry-level roles range from $700–$1,100 per week, with opportunities for bonuses and fast advancement. We’re happy to go over all pay details during your interview.

  • How fast can I start?

    We hire at the moment, and many of our roles start within 1–2 weeks of your interview. If you’re available to start sooner, make sure to mention that on your application!

  • How do I apply?

    Head over to our Apply Page and fill out the short form — or email us directly at info@lanenine.net

  • Do you hire students or recent grads?

    Yes! We love working with college students, interns, and recent grads who want to gain real-world experience in marketing, sales, or events. We look for people who are coachable, ambitious, and ready to get outside the classroom.

  • I applied! What happens next?

    Once you apply, our recruiting team will review your info. If it looks like a good match, we’ll reach out to schedule a quick Zoom screening or phone call. Keep an eye on your email and your phone!

  • Where is your office located?

    We’re located in Midtown Manhattan:
    589 8th Avenue, New York, NY 10018
    Just in the middle between Port Authority Bus Terminal and Penn Station

  • What’s the work environment like?

    Fast-paced, high-energy, and supportive.
    We believe in team-based growth, daily feedback, music in the office, and a "let’s win together" attitude. You’ll work alongside people who are driven, creative, and love talking to others. We’re not a desk job—we move, we pitch, and we show up.

  • How do I know this is a legit job and not an MLM?

    Lane Nine is not an MLM (multi-level marketing) or pyramid scheme. We are a direct marketing firm that partners with non-profits and purpose-driven brands to deliver real-world campaigns in New York City.

    You don’t have to buy into anything, sell to your friends, or build a “downline.” Everyone hired is a W-2 employee or 1099 contractor (depending on the role), paid for their work — not for recruiting others.

    We believe in coaching, leadership development, and building real marketing careers — not gimmicks.
