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:

  • Identify, cultivate, and develop strategic partnerships and campaigns with NGO’s, corporations, foundations, and other organizations.

  • 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.
