- Build the frameworks and narratives that equip account owners to lead complex, high-value opportunities
- Serve as lead or supporting writer on major funder reports

- Proactively manage funder portal accounts, submission calendars, and organizational credentials
- Keep internal grant management systems (e.g., Asana) current

- Support fundraisers with ad-hoc narrative development
- In partnership with the Sr. Manager of Development Operations, collaborate with other departments (e.g., Finance, Delivery, Higher Education, and Data) to collect and translate data, program updates, and student stories into funder-facing narratives
- Supply narrative inputs, source content, program context, data, and proof points for donor-facing assets alongside fundraisers and the rest of the Philanthropy Partnerships team
- Use AI tools to improve how proposals, reports, and assets get built
- Track fast-moving organizational developments and impact metrics to keep fundraising materials current and accurate
- Develop and maintain proposal templates, writing frameworks, reusable assets, and funder-specific approaches that let account owners lead complex proposals and reports themselves
- Document writing patterns and organizational knowledge to improve AI-assisted drafting and automate routine work, while holding quality, accuracy, and a consistent CodePath voice
Skills
- 5–7 years writing for institutional and corporate funders — proposals, letters of inquiry, and funder reports. Long-form, funder-facing, and written by you
- You build with AI, you don't just write with it. You have documented recurring work, streamlined it with AI tools, and handed the result to other people. Using Claude or ChatGPT to polish a draft is not what we mean
- You do your own data synthesis. You go to the data and finance teams, ask the right questions, and turn what you get back into accurate narrative — without waiting for someone to hand you a summary
- You collaborate across functions and come in curious. You want to understand the programs and the strategy, not just the ask
- You work at pace. Concurrent deadlines, shifting priorities, and information that changes under you
- Exceptional writing and editing, with attention to detail while maintaining a strategic perspective
- Experience in education, workforce development, or youth-serving nonprofits
- Experience in a social impact, tech, or tech-adjacent environment
- CRM management, HubSpot preferred
- Asana or similar project management platforms
- Comfort building simple visual assets (e.g., Canva)
Benefits
- Remote work arrangement
