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 Writer on the Grassroots Editorial Team, you’ll play a key role in crafting clear, concise, and compelling communications that empower millions of people across the country to advocate for policy changes that get results. You’ll write across platforms for Stand Together and key partners like Americans for Prosperity (AFP), AFP Action, The LIBRE Initiative, and Concerned Veterans for America, helping to drive societal change through effective storytelling that emphasizes aligning the key institutions of government to their proper roles. This role requires 5+ years of relevant experience in grassroots politics, journalism, or political communications, including elections-related work, and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear narratives and a strong understanding of tone and audience. (Additional experience is a plus.) You’ll need to be entrepreneurial, feedback-friendly, results-oriented, and have a strong eye for accuracy and brevity. You must also demonstrate a clear understanding of the political and electoral landscape and our diverse stakeholders’ nuanced messaging, while continually honing your craft.
