Job description

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America's boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country's biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
As a Senior Writer, Editorial - Development, you will produce high-stakes, donor-facing written materials used by senior leaders and fundraising teams. This role is focused near-exclusively on writing-turning complex ideas into clear, compelling, and persuasive products that are ready for external audiences.
This is a delivery driven role for a confident writer who thrives in an environment with high stakes, tight timelines, and senior-level visibility.
How You Will Contribute
  • Operate comfortably in a fast-moving environment with parallel reviews, evolving inputs, and firm production deadlines.

  • Manage drafts and revisions across shared documents and source-of-truth materials, incorporating feedback efficiently while maintaining narrative clarity and quality.

  • Prepare communications for senior internal signers, including C-suite- executives, with attention to voice, credibility, and strategic intent.

  • Write and deliver core products including:

    • Investment Overviews

    • Pitch decks and presentation narratives

    • Customizable proposals for donors and partners

    • Executive emails and correspondence for senior leaders and partnership advisors

    • Donor-facing newsletters and campaign emails.

What You Will Bring
  • Significant experience writing high-stakes communications for senior leaders, donors, or partners, ideally in philanthropy, nonprofit, mission-driven, or complex stakeholder environments.

  • Proven ability to own a communications stream end to end, from strategy and framing through execution and revision.

  • Strong editorial judgment and narrative instincts, paired with comfort working through dense feedback, multiple reviewers, and evolving direction.

  • Experience collaborating across functions such as events, marketing, fundraising, or partnerships.

  • Confidence writing for senior internal signers and navigating voice, tone, and positioning accordingly.

  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail, especially in deadline-driven, multi-workstream contexts.
  • Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

What We Offer
  • Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
  • A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
  • Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.
  • Competitive compensation: Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive.

$95,000 - $135,000 a year
For this role, the anticipated base salary range is $95,000-$135,000 per year. This role may also be eligible for additional bonus compensation designed to align total compensation with an employee's overall contribution to the organization.
Our Principles-Based Management™ (PBM) compensation philosophy is grounded in an individualized approach that rewards the long-term value each person creates for the organization. Compensation decisions are informed by a variety of factors, including relevant experience, capabilities, demonstrated skills, role responsibilities, and expected contribution. Consistent with this approach, base salary may vary within or outside of the anticipated range based on these considerations.
Our Values: Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.
We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success. That is why we're proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, and respect.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
