A note from the Executive Director:
If you want to apply for this position, the following should be true of you:
- You love writing! You enjoy writing stories, writing to explain new concepts, and writing persuasively!
- You need to take initiative and be willing to make mistakes. We’ve failed lots in the past and try to make new mistakes every day because we believe that is how you learn the quickest. You need to trust us to be cool and you need to be vulnerable.
- You aren’t assumptive, you look for clarity and don’t mind looking ignorant because you care more about being valuable than looking smart. You will understand why you are doing what is asked of you because you know we expect you to use your brain and make judgement calls regularly.
- You should know yourself pretty well – knowing your strengths and weaknesses (bonus points if you include your top 5 strengths from Gallup’s Strengths finder assessment in your cover letter).
- You should be confident and friendly, not intimidated by others. You should be direct and to the point and not worry about hurting our feelings (but don’t be mean).
