About the Role
Redwoods is seeking a Senior Writer to join our Intelligence team full-time.
This is a unique moment to join a small, fast-moving team in a pivotal year. The intelligence we produce is what enables philanthropic advisors and their donors to fund climate solutions with speed and confidence — and we are scaling that work significantly.
The Senior Intelligence Writer will be the dedicated writer behind the content that advisors and their donors rely on. This person will also support marketing efforts to expand and activate our advisor network. This is a core seat on a lean team, with the opportunity to shape how our climate intelligence function operates.
How you will contribute
Write compelling climate content that drives action
Produce high-quality, high-volume climate content across Redwoods’ key formats (snapshots, one-pagers, memos, slide decks and more). Translate technical climate material into decision-ready recommendations that philanthropic advisors can act on. Maintain high standards of accuracy, synthesis, and integrity. Track progress, flag dependencies, and ensure materials are current and donor-ready. Own specific content products end-to-end, while collaborating across functions on the team. Represent Redwoods with credibility and care in all external interactions.
Segment & Market Content Effectively
Implement audience segmentation to better serve and drive value to advisors across key archetypes. Partner with team leads to design, test, and improve marketing strategies that attract new advisors and increase engagement with Redwoods’ content, services, trainings, and events. Carry our new brand into voice, visuals, and templates.
Special Projects
Contribute to special projects, including occasional webinar briefings, platform design, and other cross-functional initiatives. Serve as a day-to-day coordination point for nonprofit partners, ensuring clear communication of expectations and lean follow-through. Use AI-enabled approaches where appropriate to increase throughput without ever compromising rigor. Help build a scalable content engine through templates, workflows, and process improvements.
Required Qualifications
The ideal candidate is an exceptional writer and synthesizer who blends climate fluency with speed, judgment and high personal standards. They are organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating at volume while maintaining rigor and integrity.
During this stage of growth, we are also looking for someone entrepreneurial, curious about tech/AI, and ready to build systems as we scale our intelligence function.
