- Starting Date: As soon as possible
- Rate of Pay: Base salary starting at $65,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
- Time Commitment: Full-time (Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Eastern). Flexible scheduling may be considered with manager approval.

- Benefits: Paid Time Off, Family Leave, Health Insurance, 401(k) with company matching, and a $100 monthly stipend toward high-speed internet and other work-related expenses
Responsibilities
- Research grants databases, agency websites, and other funding sources to find opportunities that fit each client's work, and contact federal, state, and local grantmaking agencies by phone and email to clarify details on promising ones
- Identify the right opportunities for each client based on their specific project interests and needs, and produce the grants intelligence deliverables they request, such as written funding summaries or funding landscape trackers, in the required format
- Work closely with clients, helping them see which opportunities fit and how best to pursue the strongest ones, and supporting the development of competitive applications
- Own your area of grant funding expertise end to end, setting its direction and priorities in coordination with leadership, and mentor colleagues by sharing your specialized knowledge and skills
- Own business development within your area of expertise: grow the client base, build and maintain the client and professional-association relationships that support it, and proactively seek out opportunities to represent Grants Office to partners and at events
- Help clients and partners become stronger grantseekers through training, webinars, community presentations, and articles for FUNDED magazine and other Grants Office or partner-sponsored publications
- Coordinate with the Multimedia Coordinator to support sector-specific content on our social media, website, and other channels, following Grants Office branding standards

- Use Grants Office's AI-supported tools to work more efficiently, always applying your own judgment and review to what they produce
- Expect to spend roughly half your time in direct client and funder contact, most of it by video and phone
- Other duties as assigned, as client or company needs require
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree required, preferably in a field related to healthcare or public funding, such as public health, healthcare administration, or public policy. A master's degree is preferred.
- Seven or more years of practical experience in the healthcare sector is required, ideally with hospitals and health systems, public health or government health agencies, health IT, or behavioral and community health. Two or more years of relevant grants experience (for example, working familiarity with major healthcare funders such as HRSA, HHS, CDC, SAMHSA, and state health departments) can reduce the healthcare requirement to five years of experience. For internal Grants Development Associate candidates, at least two years of proven success in that role is required.
- Superior written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to explain complex funding information and processes clearly.
- A collaborative team player who shares expertise with colleagues and mentors them in areas of strength, whether in your funding specialty or in skills like project management, public speaking, award administration, or business development.
- A customer-service orientation and a talent for building and owning strong relationships with clients, partners, and grant program contacts.
- Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple clients and deadlines at once.
- Resourceful and self-sufficient in research, comfortable finding opportunities across many channels, including grants databases, agency websites, web searches and alerts, budget and policy documents, listservs, and direct contact with funders.
- A proactive, self-directed worker who can operate independently in a remote environment, meet deadlines consistently, and take the initiative to improve resources, services, and knowledge in your area of expertise.
- Interest in grantseeking, grantwriting, and the grantmaking process, or hands-on experience with them, paired with a willingness to learn about the grantseekers you support and the industry partners we work alongside.
- Familiarity with how technology supports mission-driven work, and comfort with the related terminology, is a plus.
- An openness to learning new technology tools, including AI, as our workflows evolve.
- Experience with Salesforce or another CRM is a plus.
Key Points
- The position is hybrid but majority-remote. A suitable home workspace is essential: a dedicated area free from distraction and external noise, with a professionally appropriate background for video calls and reliable high-speed internet. Local travel for in-person team meetings occurs roughly once per month, and five to six national travel opportunities for public speaking engagements may arise each year; public speaking experience is a plus.
- This is a mid-level role, and Grants Office typically promotes from within. External hires will be expected to demonstrate capability across all duties before the end of the three-month probationary period.
- Grants Office is a small company with an intentionally flat organizational structure, so longevity in this role is about depth and impact rather than climbing a ladder. To keep the work energizing, Consultants receive protected time for passion projects that bring value to both the company and the grantseeking community. From time to time, as profit margins and exceptional performance allow, the company may also recognize strong contributions through pay increases or one-time bonuses.
