Job description

Outrider Foundation is hiring a Program Associate to coordinate events and build fundraising infrastructure. You will plan media training sessions and conferences, manage communications, and seek new partners and co-funders to expand our impact.


We are in the early phases of building a formal fund development program to expand our work supporting journalism and storytelling about nuclear threats and climate change. The Program Associate will be key to helping Outrider thrive by building strong relationships with sponsors, funding partners, like-minded foundations, and major-gift donors.

Outrider’s fellowship program partners with organizations such as The New York Times, TIME magazine, Science Friday, The Guardian, Inside Climate News, Vox, CNN, and the Associated Press to support investigative reporting and analysis. Duties include researching and identifying prospective donors, engaging new and existing funders, and working closely with the CEO to secure partnerships and co-funding for Outrider programs.

  • Experience in planning and executing various communications initiatives that meet or exceed goals and impact an organization.
  • Excellent project management skills and experience overseeing/collaborating with vendors and partners.
  • Communication and content skills, including writing, editing, proofreading, and verbal skills, with the ability to articulate complex topics into easily understandable content and messaging for various audiences.
