Seasonal Grant Writer, Business Development Central


TNTP seeks a Seasonal Grant Writer for the Business Development Central team. This position is based in a home office anywhere in the U.S. and will be available this spring.


Who We Are

A national nonprofit founded by teachers, TNTP believes our nation’s public schools can offer all children an excellent education. Today we’re a diverse team from a wide range of fields, united by a fierce commitment to helping school systems end educational inequality. We work at every level of the public education system to attract and train talented teachers and school leaders, ensure rigorous and engaging classrooms, and create environments that prioritize great teaching and accelerate student learning.

At TNTP, business development means strategically identifying and pursuing opportunities that will allow our organization to help as many students as possible get the education they deserve. In this role, you will partner with and support staff on our Business Development Central, Learning Impact and Design, and Consulting teams to design and write competitive federal grant applications.


What You’ll Do

As the Seasonal Grant Writer, you will help position TNTP to secure new work through United States Department of Education (ED) discretionary grant programs. TNTP has leveraged federal grant funding over the past 20 years to develop innovative projects and programs with school districts around the country mostly focused on teacher and school leader development. 

Specific responsibilities include:

  • Drafting grant narratives that speak to the significance and design for a proposed project and that incorporate research and data;
  • Collaborating with TNTP staff from multiple teams as well as our partner school districts (in some cases) on communicating project design;
  • Coordinating reviews/final sign off on the grant narrative. Note: There will be additional support from TNTP staff on evaluation design (if applicable) and for project management of the full application.

What You Bring

We are looking for amazing people who have diverse backgrounds and experiences, are inspired by our mission and are highly motivated to change children’s lives through education. You’ll be right at home here if you learn from failure and overcome adversity, cultivate strong relationships, understand the power of diversity, advocate for equity, aspire to lead through inclusion, and push yourself, your work and the people around you to the next level.

We expect our Season Grant Writer to:

  • Have at least two years of grant or proposal writing experience; experience with federal grants preferred, but not required;
  • Demonstrate excellent written communication skills with a track record of communicating effectively with diverse audiences;
  • Give extraordinary attention to detail and have a commitment to producing consistently high-quality work;
  • Be flexible in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment of rapidly changing priorities and tight deadlines and turnaround times;
  • Be able to work effectively with others at all levels of an organization, manage up, and to consistently display a high level of professionalism in all interactions;
  • Experience with K-12 education sector is highly preferred, but not required.
