Senior Grant Writer Wanted

We are a fast growing, mission driven organization in the human potential and wellness space, with a 501(c)(3) research foundation working to put consciousness and healing science on the same footing as any other peer reviewed field. We are hiring our first senior grant writer to build our entire grant funding function from the ground up and to go win money across federal, foundation, and corporate sources. This is a build, not a maintenance seat. If you are the person who turns a blank page and a strong story into funded proposals, keep reading. We are keeping our name out of this posting on purpose. The right person will care about the mission and the work first, and we will tell you exactly who we are the moment you reach a real conversation. Who we are, without the name Bestselling authors with a global community of students across more than eighty countries, and a research foundation putting real science behind healing work. This is not a claim with nothing under it. An independent research center recently completed our Phase 1 study, a cohort of 106 participants across multiple multi day retreats, using a triangulated design most wellness organizations never attempt. Validated psychometric questionnaires measured before and after, EEG brain monitoring during sessions, heart rate variability, and structured first person interviews, all read against each other. The results are the kind that open funder doors. On the same validated instrument used in psilocybin research, 71.6 percent of participants crossed the threshold for a complete mystical experience. More than eight in ten reported a release of stored trauma, alongside measurable shifts in psychological distress, sleep, and overall wellbeing. Phase 2 is being designed now, aimed squarely at trauma, PTSD, and veterans, the populations where federal agencies and major private foundations already fund complementary and integrative health. The science is real, the data is real, and the case for support is sitting there waiting for someone who can write it well enough to win. The role You own funding. All of it. You find the funders, qualify them, write the proposals, hit every deadline, submit clean, follow up, and steward the relationships after the win. You are a hunter and a closer, not a writer waiting for assignments. You will build the funnel, the funder list, the proposal calendar, the case for support, and the templates, because none of that exists yet. You will work directly with our research team, who hand you the study data and the methodology, and directly with the founder, who is fast, visionary, and moving in ten directions at once. Your job is to be the steady, rigorous, deadline proof opposite of that. What great looks like in the first 90 days Real private and corporate dollars in motion or in the door. A qualified funder pipeline built from nothing. Federal letters of inquiry advanced and relationships opened with the agencies and foundations that fund this kind of research. We know federal grants run on a nine to twelve month clock, so we will judge your first ninety days on the pipeline you build and the submissions you ship, not only on dollars banked. The dollars come. We are patient about the federal timeline and impatient about the work ethic. Who you are You have a documented track record of funded proposals, and you can tell us your total dollars raised and your funded to submitted ratio, with named funders we can verify. You have written across more than one lane. Federal or government grants, private foundations, and corporate giving. We need range, not a single specialty. You can take research and clinical data and turn it into a story a program officer cannot say no to, without needing to be a scientist yourself. You are rigorous and deadline proof. You can hold a sixty page federal application and a dozen deadlines in your head and never drop one, without anyone reminding you. You build systems, not private silos. The way you work is legible to the team, not locked in your own head. You are kind. To the team, to funders, to everyone. Skill does not buy you out of this one. You are concise and direct, and you do not try to manage or fix the people you work for. You make a fast founder's vision fundable, you do not talk him out of it. You ask for feedback before anyone has to give it. You want to know what you missed and where you could have served someone better. The honest hard parts This is a remote, solo, full time, exclusive seat. You will not have a grants team around you. You are the grants team, at least for now. The environment moves fast and pivots often. The mission is energy and healing work, which some people find unusual, so you need to be genuinely curious and comfortable making the case for it. And because the role is exclusive, you cannot keep a side roster of other clients. How to apply Read these steps carefully. Following them exactly is the first test, and we do mean exactly. Attach a cover letter. Your headline must read, word for word: Funded, not just submitted Numbers. Tell us your total documented dollars raised and your funded to submitted ratio. Name at least two specific awards we can verify, with the funder and the amount. Proof. Attach two proposals you personally wrote that were funded. Redact anything confidential. A short case, your craft on display. In 150 words or less, make the case to a skeptical federal program officer for why consciousness and healing research deserves funding. We want to see how you think and write, not a polished essay. Three quick answers, under 400 words total, no padding. The hardest grant you ever won and what made it hard. A time a funder said no and what you did next. How you keep a dozen deadlines straight without anyone reminding you. A video, two to three minutes. Just you talking to us. Who you are, what you have funded, and why this mission. Send everything. Incomplete applications, or applications that ignore the subject line, will not be read. We are looking for one person, and we will know them when we see them.
