The Opportunity

When the media talks about North Korea, it often focuses on dictators and nukes. But there’s so much more to the story than that. There are 26 million people with their own stories to tell. That’s where you come in.

We're looking for a gifted writer who thinks like a fundraiser. The Content & Donor Communications Manager is responsible for producing compelling content that moves people from awareness to giving. You'll craft the narratives and communications that inspire donors to invest in Liberty in North Korea's mission — and keep them engaged for the long haul. You will own the written voice of our organization across email, campaigns, and social media, with a particular focus on converting supporters into first-time donors and donors into long-term partners.
