RemoteRemoteMarketingFull-time

At Foundant, we build mission-critical software for the social good ecosystem — helping foundations, grantmakers, nonprofits, and community organizations streamline their work, strengthen relationships, and maximize their impact. We serve the giving community worldwide with a comprehensive suite of solutions spanning grant management, community foundation software, and giving analytics. Our team of ~350 people across six countries operates with intention and purpose, connected by a shared North Star: to be the trusted partner and strategic advisor to the communities we serve.

Where You’ll Work

As a remote-first workplace, we offer flexibility and the freedom to work where it suits you best, supported by technology and a global network of talent. Physical office hubs in Bozeman, MT, Toronto, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland foster collaboration, while virtual tools keep our team connected and innovative.

Responsibilities

  • Own the creation and execution of an aggressive editorial calendar — writing and editing blog posts, articles, eBooks, and thought leadership content that grows Foundant's voice and authority in philanthropy.
  • Interview and source directly from clients, practitioners, and thought leaders to bring original, practitioner perspectives into the work.
  • Build relationships with clients and the larger philanthropic community that become recurring sources for content.
  • Develop original ideas grounded in sector trends and practitioner insights.
  • Optimize content for SEO and organic discovery, working closely with Demand Generation on keyword strategy and performance.
  • Navigate the nuance across different client segments and adapt voice and messaging accordingly.
  • Set and uphold a high bar for writing quality, clarity, and voice across content, including editing contributions from other writers or subject matter experts.
  • Repurpose and adapt long-form content into shorter formats (social, email, event materials) in partnership with the broader marketing team.
  • Manage a bench of freelance writers and/or junior team members — briefing, editing, and getting their work to a publishable standard.
  • Partner with Client Success, Sales, and Client Marketing to surface and shape compelling client stories and ground content in what matters most to our audiences.
  • Work closely with Product Marketing to stay aligned on core messaging and ensure a consistent voice across our broader narrative and product story.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of extensive experience in content writing, editorial, or content marketing roles, ideally with a journalism background. Exposure or experience in philanthropy, nonprofit, or other mission-driven sectors is a plus.
  • A strong portfolio of published writing and editing for thought leadership, blog, or long-form content that demonstrates original thinking and clear, engaging writing.
  • Demonstrated editorial experience in a fast-paced environment creating, managing, and editing multiple pieces of content at once.
  • Experience conducting interviews and turning conversations with clients, prospects, practitioners, or subject matter experts into compelling narrative content.
  • Experience with SEO and GEO fundamentals and writing for organic and AI-driven discovery.
  • Comfort moving between big-picture editorial strategy and the detailed work of drafting and revising individual pieces.
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple pieces of content, deadlines, and stakeholders at once.
  • Experience working in a CMS to publish, format, and manage content (e.g., WordPress, or similar).
  • Background and comfort using AI to assist with writing and research. Claude experience preferred.
  • Comfortable operating in a growing organization shaped by multiple products and segments.
  • Must be legally eligible to work in the United States.

Skills

  • Adaptive Achievement: Hold an aggressive editorial calendar to deadline while adapting quickly when a story angle, source, or priority shifts mid-flight.
  • Business Insight: Understand the philanthropic sector well enough to spot trends and practitioner pain points worth writing about, and connect content back to demand generation and pipeline goals.
  • Service Orientation: Treat every client and practitioner interview as a relationship to build, not just a source to extract a quote from — leaving people glad they talked to Foundant.
  • Productive Collaboration: Work closely with Demand Generation, Product Marketing, Client Success, and Sales, briefing and editing contributors so the whole team's voice reads as one.
  • Active Learning: Stay current on SEO/GEO best practices and AI-assisted writing and research tools, and bring what you learn into how the team works.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and benefits, including tuition and lifestyle reimbursements.
  • Bespoke mindfulness and fitness initiatives.
  • Flexible PTO policy to support personal well-being and professional success.
  • Professional and personal development opportunities, including internal mobility and exposure to diverse projects across teams.
  • Autonomy and responsibility to approach work creatively and independently.
  • Employee recognition as a core part of our culture.
