Senior Writer and Editor, Ideas and Impact

Posted on October 07, 2024

The Rita Allen Foundation works to advance discovery science, collaborative philanthropy, and innovative approaches to strengthening the connections between science and the public. We seed ideas and relationships, incubate prototypes, and seek to catalyze institutional and systemic change.

The Foundation seeks a purpose-driven writer, editor, and narrative strategist to support our dynamic work in civic science, discovery science, and philanthropic practice. This new team member will play an important role in our collaborative work with rising stars, cross-sector networks, and the philanthropic community by applying exceptional writing and editing skills to share emerging insights and expand partnerships.

If you bring a systems lens and highly collaborative approach to narrative development across a range of mediums—from topic summaries and high-level communications to insightful blogs and in-depth reports—we invite you to apply. This new position will be a valued part of a deeply collaborative team, bringing editorial excellence, accuracy, consistent tone, and thoughtful analysis to several parts of the Foundation’s core work. Our programs feature field-leading philanthropic initiatives, including the Rita Allen Foundation Scholars program and the Civic Science Fellows program, a signature effort co-created with a vibrant cross-sector community.

We are seeking a storyteller with outstanding editing skills who will generously contribute to team efforts to support innovative leaders and networks along with philanthropic excellence and impact. This role will work closely with our President and team as well as partners pursuing transformative ideas in science, expanding its benefits and horizons.
