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 Writer on the Grassroots Editorial Team, you’ll help The LIBRE Initiative communicate clearly and effectively with Hispanic communities across the country. LIBRE empowers Latino Americans to build a freer, more prosperous future by advancing policy solutions that expand opportunity and improve people's lives. 

In this role, you’ll lead LIBRE’s editorial calendar and written content while writing blogs, emails, web content, and grassroots advocacy materials for English- and Spanish-speaking audiences. You’ll translate complex policy ideas into accessible, culturally relevant messages that help community members, grassroots activists, lawmakers, and coalition partners understand key issues and take action. 

This is primarily a LIBRE-focused role, though you may also support related grassroots editorial priorities across the Stand Together community, like Americans for Prosperity. 

This role requires 3+ years of professional writing experience in advocacy/policy communications, or in journalism, nonprofit, or mission-driven communications with a strong policy/advocacy focus. Spanish-language writing ability is required, and experience writing for Hispanic audiences is preferred. You should bring strong editorial judgment, accuracy, brevity, an entrepreneurial mindset, and the ability to connect daily writing needs to larger communications strategies and organizational goals. 

• Write high-impact content, including emails, blog posts, direct mail, reports, and event communications that inspire grassroots advocates and donor audiences. 

• Develop content that clearly conveys Stand Together’s and AFP’s perspectives on key issues like elections, the economy, health care, immigration, and the role of government. 

• Collaborate effectively with a self-driven, entrepreneurial mindset to develop strategic content for key initiatives, often on tight deadlines.   

• Adapt to evolving priorities with a self-driven, entrepreneurial mindset and a commitment to results. 

• 3+ years of professional writing experience, preferably in grassroots politics, journalism, or political communications, including elections-related work, with excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills, and a strong attention to detail. 

• Proven ability to simplify complex policy and strategic concepts into compelling, audience-tailored, and culturally-relevant narratives across formats and platforms, aligned with brand voice and content strategy. 

• A collaborative, cross-functional mindset, with experience navigating fast-paced, matrixed environments, defining deliverables, managing competing priorities, and consistently meeting deadlines while staying in close communication with our partners at LIBRE. 

• Strategic insight and entrepreneurial drive, with a deep understanding of the state and federal policy and political landscape of the Latino community, and the ability to connect daily writing tasks to long-term organizational impact. 

• 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. 

• 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. 

For this role, the anticipated base salary range is $75,000–$100,000 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.
