Responsibilities

• Build the sales collateral including but not limited to decks, one-pagers, proposals, brand narratives that our leadership team uses to sell new partnerships products to clients and partners across both national and local newsrooms
• Get in front of clients yourself. This isn't a back-office writing role; you'll be in the room helping pitch and close
• Partner directly with the revenue team on messaging across fundraising, underwriting, membership, and donor communications
• Own creative strategy and RFP responses, making sure everything that goes out the door, decks, proposals are sharp, consistent, and immediately sounds like COURIER
• Take a new initiative, a product, a franchise, an event, and figure out how to tell its story differently depending on who's hearing it: a client, a funder, a member, a partner
• Work across our local and national newsrooms to spot moments and franchises worth building marketing and fundraising materials around
• Keep an eye out for ways your work can connect to other parts of the business, and proactively pitch those ideas to the CRO

Requirements

• Someone with real experience in marketing strategy, sales enablement, or creative strategy, media, political, advocacy, or nonprofit backgrounds are all relevant
• You've built sales or fundraising materials from scratch before, and you've seen them actually help close revenue, not just look good in a folder
• A strong writer who can move between a sales deck, a donor appeal, and a brand narrative without sounding like the same person wrote all three in five minutes
• Comfortable being the face of an organization in a client conversation
• Self-directed individual; you're as comfortable setting the strategy as you are the one executing it
• Able to work well in a remote, fast-moving, somewhat unstructured environment, and build real relationships across a decentralized team
• Genuinely motivated by the idea that good marketing can help fund progressive journalism

• Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO), 11 paid holidays a year
