• Draft excellent applications by writing compelling LOIs, grant applications, and supporting narratives aligned to funder requirements
• Use AI to increase quality and pace by confidently prompting, guiding, and reviewing AI-assisted outputs to accelerate research, drafting, and iteration without compromising accuracy, judgment, or tone
• Act as lead expert reviewer by reviewing drafts so they are accurate, persuasive, funder-ready, and easy for nonprofits to use
• Manage delivery by balancing pace, quality, and care across multiple partner relationships, keeping work moving and expectations clear
• Build deep context by working closely with around 10–15 nonprofit partners at any given time, understanding their goals, programs, and impact
• Improve how we work by helping strengthen the grant support process so more nonprofits can be served well, without compromising quality

Requirements

• STEM degree from a recognized university, or equivalent evidence of strong analytical thinking

• Confidence using AI tools to support research, drafting, editing, and quality assurance, and knowing where human judgment must lead
• Ability to take responsibility, communicate early, and enjoy building in a fast-moving environment
• Attention to detail; deadlines, geographic nuances, funding restrictions, and structural requirements do not slip past you
• Partner-first communication; combining warmth, clarity, and sound judgment in every interaction
• Process discipline; enjoying clear systems, well-managed workflows, and making the slightly messy feel beautifully organized
