Strategic Partnership & Development Manager

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. We are a media network that showcases stories, voices, and opportunities for activism that inform, entertain, and inspire action, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world.

Job Summary:

Crooked is hiring for a Strategic Partnership and Development Manager to work with their nonprofit partner organization, Crooked Ideas. Crooked Ideas brings to issues what Crooked Media brings to politics: expertise, humor, and coverage that inspires people to understand their agency, even when our problems seem vast and/or sticky. This role will be responsible for identifying, securing, and managing major strategic partnerships related to the climate movement and other social movements and developing fundraising opportunities to support the organization's mission, programmatic and budgetary goals. This role will require a strong networker and relationship builder with excellent communication and strategic thinking skills. A background in and knowledge of climate change policy is an asset. The role will report to the Chief of Staff and work closely with the Crooked Ideas Executive Director. ​​This is a one-year project with an option to renew. 

Crooked is hiring only in the following area: Washington, DC and New York. This is a remote position and we do not loan any equipment, such as laptops, therefore candidates will be expected to use their personal equipment. 

How You’ll Spend Your Time:

Strategic Partnership Management

  • Research and keep the team abreast of the events and policy issues affecting the climate movement and other relevant social movements.  
  • Identify, cultivate, and develop strategic partnerships and campaigns with NGO’s, corporations, foundations, and other organizations.
  • Manage relationships and strategic campaigns with stakeholders and partners, ensuring ongoing engagement and timely execution of goals.

Fundraising Management

  • Write and submit compelling proposals and grant applications to secure funding. 
  • Track and create all necessary grant and annual report documentation.

Budget & Reporting

  • Develop and manage budgets for partnership and fundraising activities.
  • Track and report on progress and outcomes of partnerships and fundraising efforts.

What You’ll Bring To The Table:

  • 4-7 years of experience in fundraising and development with demonstrated success
  • Proven track record in securing and managing strategic partnerships and fundraising.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and pitch skills.
  • Strong writing and presentation skills.
  • Problem solver with the ability to work collaboratively in a start-up environment
  • Ability to work independently and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience with budget development and management.
  • A strong knowledge of climate change policy is a plus

This job description provides a summary of how you’ll spend your time but is nowhere near exhaustive, so other duties may be assigned over time. 

Pay and Perks: 

At Crooked, we believe in paying employees competitive market salaries. And we also believe in providing holistic and rich benefits to all full time staff, including:

  • Paid healthcare, with most individual plans paid fully by the company 
  • 401k match 

When we open up a position, we conduct a market analysis to ensure we have the most up-to-date data. Once we’re ready to extend an offer, we look at the individual’s years of relevant experience and other compensable factors to determine a competitive offer. And for this role, the salary is $90,000 with an option to renew after 1 year.
