tendersglobal.net
Job Background/Overview:
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is seeking an Officer, Funding Propositions & Impact Reporting Services to create donor proposals, impact reports, grant-related written communications, one-pagers, pitch decks, and other fundraising collateral. The creative content will primarily target trust and foundation partners, with the potential to work on writing projects for teams across our High Value Fundraising teams in support of the mission and vision of The IRC. The role will be a valuable member of the Funding Propositions & Impact Reporting team and the wider Global Partnerships and Philanthropic Services (GPPS) Unit.
Since its inception in 1933, the IRC has delivered lasting impact to refugees fleeing war or disaster by offering lifesaving care, life-changing assistance, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant. We seek a candidate with 3- to 6- years of professional writing experience and a background supporting a nonprofit organization’s foundations and trusts grant portfolio. Writing samples will be required. The Officer will bring their creativity and sector experiences to improve our donor communication strategies.
Major Responsibilities:
• Business Development Writing: Responsible for producing persuasive and well-structured grant proposals for envelopes of 6 figures or more. Conduct research, collaborate with various teams (fundraising, program, etc.), and articulate the organization’s goals, strategies, and impact to secure funding for humanitarian projects. Transform technical, programmatic content into sophisticated, compelling, donor-friendly materials.
• Impact Reporting: Create comprehensive reports and other written materials highlighting the outcomes and efficiency of projects, including communicating the impact of some of IRC’s largest private-sector partnerships. Collect data and human-interest stories and present the results clearly.
• Project Management: Lead project completion, curate content, and build editorial timelines to finalize written assets across IRC teams. Coordinate with team members, set priorities, and apply resources effectively. You would act as Project Manager and Lead Writer for shorter-term projects (about 90%). For longer-term projects (about 10%), such as a complex ~3-month proposal development process, you would fill either a Lead Writer or Project Manager role.
• Internal Collaboration: Communicate and collaborate with internal teams across the IRC – liaising with teams in GPPS, Marketing & Mobilization, and various technical units.
Demonstrated Skills and Competencies:
• Global and diverse experience writing proposals and reports for 7-figure+ grants. Preference for experience focused on education, health, nutrition, or another IRC sector of work
