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 an Editor, Editorial – Development, you will serve as a senior editorial and strategic partner to Development and Fundraising teams. This role is less focused on writing volume and more focused on expertise, judgment, and elevation — shaping donorfacing work to ensure it is clear, compelling, and strategically sound.

Editors develop deep subjectmatter fluency in priority issue areas, embed with key stakeholder groups, and coach writers to strengthen both individual products and overall editorial quality.

How You Will Contribute
  • Develop and apply subjectmatter expertise across assigned issue areas and funding priorities.

  • Serve as an embedded editorial partner to Development and Fundraising teams.

  • Edit and elevate drafts produced by writers—strengthening structure, clarity, argumentation, and narrative flow.

  • Coach writers through thoughtful feedback that improves both the work and the underlying thinking.

  • Ensure donorfacing materials are accurate, aligned, and audienceappropriate before reaching senior leaders or external partners.

What You Will Bring
  • Significant experience editing high-stakes communications for senior leaders, donors, or partners, ideally in philanthropy, nonprofit, mission-driven, or complex stakeholder environments.

  • Strong editorial judgment and narrative instincts, paired with comfort working through dense feedback, multiple reviewers, and evolving direction.

  • Experience developing subjectmatter expertise and applying it to persuasive communications.

  • Comfort influencing across teams and working closely with senior leaders.

  • Proven ability to coach writers and elevate others’ work product.

  • 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.
What We Offer
  • 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.
