CBPP combines rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates, affect policy, and inform effective implementation both nationally and in states. It works closely with a broad set of national, state, and community organizations to design and advance policies that promote economic justice; improve health; broaden opportunity in areas like housing, health care, employment, and education; and lower structural barriers for people of color and others in communities that continue to face systemic barriers to opportunity. CBPP promotes policies that will build a more equitable nation and fair tax policies that can support these gains over the long term. CBPP also shows the harmful impacts of policies and proposals that would deepen poverty, widen inequities, and worsen health outcomes.
CBPP seeks a full-time writer/editor to join its Development team. This position provides an exciting opportunity for an experienced fundraising professional who is a talented writer to join a team of skilled writers and help CBPP meet its fundraising goals.
The Development Writer/Editor will distill complex policy information and CBPP's role in influencing policy decisions into clear and compelling letters of inquiry, proposals, reports, donor stewardship communications, and other materials that help a range of stakeholders understand CBPP's work and drive philanthropic support for the organization.

Work closely with senior leaders, program directors, and policy analysts across CBPP to understand and write clearly and persuasively about policies that impact people with low incomes, and about CBPP's current and future work and impact with regard to those policies.
Act as the Development team's liaison to up to two of CBPP's policy teams, keeping up to date with those teams' work, supporting their development needs, and working to foster a culture of philanthropy within those teams. Communicate relevant information back to the Development team in a timely manner.
Develop an understanding of CBPP's current funders and grants, perform prospect research to find new mission-aligned funders, and facilitate stewardship meetings with funders and prospects.
Partner with Development colleagues and policy staff on funder stewardship strategies.
Attend relevant meetings and read materials to stay up to date on CBPP's current work and priorities, as well as the external political landscape, and develop a working knowledge of how CBPP's federal- and state-level work across policy areas furthers CBPP's overall vision.
Perform other job-related duties within the role's scope as assigned to support the team's goals.

Outstanding professionalism, communication, and interpersonal skills, including diplomacy and tact.

Commitment to fostering equity, inclusion, and belonging within the organization and across its policy, advocacy, and fundraising efforts.
Ability to understand complex information and distill it into clear, compelling language for a general audience.

Strong research and interview skills, as well as persistence and a willingness to manage up and across and to ask informed questions to acquire needed information and data.
The candidate should be inquisitive, eager to learn, and willing to develop a level of expertise about CBPP's policy areas in general and one to two specific areas as assigned.
