Bending Arc helps nonprofit CEOs and Executive Directors build stronger, more resilient organizations. We're hiring an energetic, growing marketer to own our email systems and help our best content reach more people. If you love a good email sequence, work smart with AI, and want your marketing to genuinely help mission-driven leaders — we'd love to meet you. THE ROLE You'll own the email that turns our nonprofit audience and leads into customers and clients, and help extend the reach of the content we're already producing (podcast, articles, social). We'll provide the strategy and direction for campaigns and content, and you'll work with our custom Claude Skills, trained on our voice, frameworks, and audience. Your job is to take clear direction and proven templates and turn them into polished, on-brand, conversion-focused copy. This is a hands-on, execution-led role. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Email Marketing (your core focus) - Build and maintain welcome sequences for each way people join our list. - Write nurture sequences that warm up leads and move them toward our offers. - Write and update sales sequences for launches, webinars, and promotions. - Build, schedule, test, and send everything inside Kit. - Share a simple biweekly snapshot: what's converting, what's not, what's next. Content Repurposing & Growth (secondary) - Turn high-performing podcast episodes and articles into search-optimized (SEO/AEO) blog posts. - Repurpose long-form ideas into strong Instagram and YouTube content. - Create light, clean visuals using Canva or Claude Design - Adapt content thoughtfully for each platform — no lazy copy-paste. HOW WE USE AI You'll work with our proprietary Claude Skills. It's a custom AI infrastructure trained around our voice, frameworks, and IP. You can use these tools to help you ideate, draft, repurpose, and move fast. They're a head start, not a replacement for you. You'll still own the structure, the judgment calls, the quality control, and the final copy. We love people who treat AI as a sharp tool, and who know when a draft needs a human to make it actually good. HOW WE WORK You'll own your work while coordinating with a small, friendly, collaborative team. You'll use the following tools: - Kit (email) - Notion (project + content management) - Claude & Claude Skills, ChatGPT (writing + repurposing, light design - Canva - LinkedIn - Limited: Instagram, YouTube Experience with Kit and Canva is a plus. You Might Be a Great Fit If You… - Have some real marketing experience — small business, agency, coaching, nonprofit, or similar. - Have experience writing email campaigns or sequences - Get the difference between welcome, nurture, promo, and sales emails - Can take strategic direction and a template and run with it. - Write warm, clear, confident copy that sounds like a smart peer, not a corporate brochure. - Use AI tools thoughtfully, and know good work still needs editing and a human touch. - Are organized, proactive, and reliable with deadlines. - Work well solo and speak up when you need context or spot an opportunity. - Care about nonprofits and the leaders behind them. Bonus Points If You… - Have built nurture or sales sequences before (even small ones). - Have marketed coaching, courses, memberships, or events. - Already know your way around Kit. - Enjoy testing, learning fast, and improving as you go. HOW TO APPLY Please start your proposal with the phrase "Resilient Organization" so we know you read this all the way through. Then tell us: 1. A quick intro — who you are and why this role feels like a fit. 2. One or two examples of email copy or campaigns you've written (a link or short sample is perfect). Tell us what part was yours: strategy, copy, building, or all of it. 3. A sentence or two on how you use Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI tools in your process. 4. One example of content you repurposed from one format into another. 5. Your availability and preferred rate. We're most excited about people who show good judgment, clear writing, reliable follow-through, and a real understanding of how content moves someone from stranger to client.
