Grant Writer

Job Description

• If you’re a writer in search of a high-impact mission, you’ve found it here. You’ll flex excellent writing skills across a wide variety of content, speaking to our current supporters and helping reach new ones. The revenue your work drives will accelerate the impact of Recidiviz’s existing tools and fuel explorations of innovative ways to improve the outcomes for people in the criminal justice system.

Qualifications

• You’re a crisp, punchy, and clear writer (no jargon or flowery language here!). You love to write. You know that great writing transcends words on paper, and shapes how everyone views Recidiviz and our work. You can make complex topics and ideas simple to understand. You adapt writing to varied audiences and desired tones. • You’re thoughtful, proactive, and analytical. You can slow down or stop a moving train when you spot risk. You can speed up a stalled train. You can look weeks, months, quarters out and identify opportunities and risks. Without letting perfect be the enemy of progress, you leave no stone unturned and maintain a high bar of polish for the work that crosses your desk. • You’re a curious and strategic thinker. You listen well and ask questions, eager to get to the root cause of an issue. You are committed to maximizing upside, exploring an opportunity from all angles before committing. • You’re introspective and a great teammate. You lean into your strongest qualities and work on your biggest opportunities. You pick up balls that are dropping. You roll up your sleeves to do what it takes to move the mission forward. You identify gaps and fill them temporarily, while designing and advocating for the right long-term solutions
