Job description

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 Content Manager on the Grassroots Editorial Team, you’ll play a key role in empowering millions of people across the country to advocate for policy changes that get results. You’ll identify, source, and organize stories, photos, quotes, and supporting details that power Stand Together communications, including content sourcing and asset management for email, blog, donor communications, direct mail, and event communications.

This is a highly cross‑functional role that relies on strong relationships with partners and state teams to track down assets and build repeatable storage processes so valuable content can be easily found and reused.

This is an exciting opportunity for an organized, proactive communicator who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, knows how to collaborate across teams, and can turn scattered information into a reliable content pipeline that keeps campaigns moving.

Responsibilities

• Partner across teams to identify and source content for email, blog, donor communications, direct mail, and event communications, including stories, photos, captions, graphics, quotes, and strategic insights from the field.
• Track down timely content from social media and other channels, and coordinate directly with state teams to collect assets and context (who/what/when/where/why) needed for publication.
• Own day‑to‑day content intake operations: request, receive, organize, and deliver assets to the Head Writer and editorial team to populate the editorial calendar with relevant, campaign‑ready content.
• Build and maintain repository processes in SharePoint and Airtable (or similar tools), improving clarity, handoffs, and speed from content discovery to deployment; monitor performance signals (e.g., engagement, reuse) to strengthen the pipeline.
• Help maintain taxonomy and metadata standards so content is consistently organized, easy to find, and aligned for reporting, reuse, and cross‑team collaboration.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in content operations, communications, digital organizing, or a related grassroots environment; comfort working across email, blog, donor communications, direct mail, and event communications.
• Strong editorial judgment and attention to detail, able to quickly assess what makes a story usable, gather missing context, and deliver clean, complete content packages for approval and publication.
• Highly organized project manager who can manage multiple requests at once, follow up with stakeholders, and consistently deliver on time in a fast‑paced, matrixed environment.
• Experience building and maintaining content repositories and workflows (asset collection, permissions, naming conventions, tagging/metadata, storage, and retrieval). Proficiency with SharePoint and Airtable strongly preferred.
• Enthusiasm to contribute to StandTogether’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.

Benefits

• Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
• A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
• Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non‑hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.
• Competitive compensation: Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive.

Our Values

Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management®, a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom‑up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.
