Partner with program, finance, and leadership teams to ensure budgets, staffing, outcomes, and commitments come together into a strong and credible proposal.

Strengthen Funder Partnerships

Excellent organization and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate with program experts, finance teams, senior leaders, community partners, and funders. Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.

  Why You'll Love Working at the Y:  Use your writing and strategic thinking to help expand what’s possible for young people, families, and communities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
