Sometimes, there are names that represent more than a simple collection of letters and syllables:

Albert Einstein. Anne Frank. Steve Jobs. Jack Kerouac. Harriet Tubman.

You get the idea. These names bring world change to mind. They understood things differently, saw potential for change, and expressed their vision in powerful ways. They did everything wrong, and in turn created all the new rights.

We are looking for a Staff Writer to join our team and blaze a new trail, just like the names above. Come join us and (literally) rewrite what it means to be a contemporary charity.

This position is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the creative, the optimistic, the innovative and the detail-oriented. We’re talking equal parts sass and sophistication, and a healthy dose of both confidence and humility.

Inevitably, you’ll wear a few different hats (and quite possibly a couple of trendy beanies). This position is basically a one-stop shop for all things copywriting and copyediting. Big picture: you will contribute to the formation and execution of Invisible Children branding; help develop communication strategies for web, email and social media; and strategize ways to expand our supporter and donor reach.

Your skills will reach all corners of Invisible Children – one moment you may be writing grant proposals with the Development Manager, and the next moment you might be producing conflict and program updates with the International Team. And don’t forget – you will also be overseeing and mentoring a team of Communication Interns (…including yours truly). In short, you’ll be friends with the entire office in no time.
