About this role
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 3+ years of relevant experience in grassroots politics or political communications, including elections-related work. The ideal candidate can translate complex ideas into clear narratives and a strong understanding of tone and audience. (Additional political or issue-advocacy 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.

-
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.

What You Will Bring

-
Proven ability to simplify complex policy and strategic concepts into compelling, audience-tailored 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.

Strategic insight and entrepreneurial drive, with a deep understanding of the state and federal policy landscape, 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.
