Editorial Communications Manager

About Us

At Founders Pledge, our mission is to empower entrepreneurs to do immense good with their charitable giving. Since launching in 2015, our community of over 2,200 members has pledged nearly $13.6B and donated $1.8B+ to the charitable sector in 45+ countries.

We provide end-to-end giving infrastructure, pioneering research, and access to a global network of experts. In other words, we help tech leaders become strategic philanthropists. Our members include founders and leaders behind companies such as Airbnb, UiPath, Dropbox, Skype, Spotify, and Uber.

We focus on deploying capital where it can achieve the greatest impact, guided by evidence, careful analysis, and long-term thinking.

About the Role

We're looking for a NYC-based Editorial Communications Manager to join our five-person Communications team, reporting to our Director of Communications.

In this role, you'll be the editorial backbone of how Founders Pledge communicates externally. You'll set and uphold editorial standards, lead content planning, and ensure everything we put out reflects the clarity and quality our work deserves.

This is a hands-on role that spans editing and writing, communications planning, thought leadership, and media engagement. You'll work closely with colleagues across the organization, helping translate complex ideas into content that resonates with donors, founders, and the wider public.

What You’ll Do

• Edit and refine a wide range of materials, including reports, blogs, newsletters, op-eds, speeches, donor materials, web copy, and reactive communications
• Maintain and evolve our editorial standards, voice, and tone of voice guidance across all communications outputs
• Manage the communications calendar, coordinating content planning, launches, and key organizational moments across teams
• Identify and develop compelling stories, narratives, and thought leadership opportunities that advance our strategic communications goals
• Partner with the Director of Communications on earned media, developing press statements, talking points, op-eds, and briefing documents
• Build scalable editorial processes and quality-control systems across the Communications function

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for a sharp, collaborative editorial professional with a passion for social impact and a high bar for quality.

You'll bring:

• Exceptional editing and writing skills, with strong attention to detail and editorial judgment
• The ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling, and audience-aware communications
• Experience managing communications projects, deadlines, and multiple stakeholders simultaneously
• A strong understanding of messaging, storytelling, and external-facing communications
• Experience supporting earned media, thought leadership, or media-facing materials such as op-eds, press statements, or briefing documents
• Experience managing editorial or content calendars and communications planning processes
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment

Nice to have:

• Background in journalism, publishing, public affairs, or policy communications
• Experience building editorial workflows, style guides, or scalable content systems
• Experience supporting senior leadership or executive visibility initiatives
• Familiarity with AI tools to support editorial quality and content workflows

Location and Travel Requirements

This role is based in New York City, with a hybrid work model (one day per week in-office) at WeWork Union Square.

You'll also be expected to join team offsites throughout the year, including an annual global offsite.

Application Deadline

Applications will be accepted until May 22.
