Join the Team

About Us:

The Video Consortium is a local-first, global nonprofit that supports and connects the world’s nonfiction video creatives. We're a small, proactive, and passionate team looking to welcome a new colleague who’s excited to grow with us and help storytellers around the world adapt to this fast-changing media industry (and world).

The Role:

We're looking for a part-time, remote Development & Partnerships Associate to support VC’s Exec Director to secure funding, grow sponsorships, and share the story of our impact. This is a role that has a varied purview: part grant coordinator, part sponsorship/partnership rep, part storyteller. It’s ideal for someone on the earlier side of their career who a) already has a solid understanding of and experience in (US) fundraising, b) would be excited to grow in a nonprofit management role, and c) is passionate about building new structures and pushing against existing paradigms. 

You'll work closely with, and report to, the Executive Director, and assist her in pursuing funding, structuring initiatives, and talking about our work.

Hours: ~15–20 hrs/week, flexible (ideally half days spread out throughout the week). This is a part-time role initially, but there's potential for it to expand in scope and hours as we grow. 
Location: Remote (U.S.) 
Compensation: $27–33/hour, commensurate with experience (plus potential bonus structure tied to sponsorship revenue).

What You’ll Do:

• Grants: Research, help write, and submit grant applications; track deadlines, reporting requirements, and renewal cycles; maintain a grants calendar and pipeline.
• Partnerships + Sponsorships: Identify and help pitch potential partners and sponsors, support with sponsorship decks and packages; manage relationships and divert conversations to other colleagues as needed.
• Impact & Messaging: Track and assist in synthesizing our programmatic impact; funder reports, drafts of social messaging, and helping ensure our website communicates our work in a compelling, forward-thinking voice.
• Representation: Occasionally represent the Video Consortium in outreach calls, funder meetings, or industry conversations. 

Who You Are:

• 1–4 years of experience in partnerships, development (nonprofit experience a plus), grant writing, fundraising. You understand how the U.S. nonprofit funding ecosystem works (foundations, government grants, corporate sponsorship, individual giving).
• A confident, clear speaker and writer who can adapt tone depending on the situation at hand.
• Comfortable pitching and selling — you're not afraid to get on a call and make the case for why someone should partner or work with us.
• Organized and self-directed; you can manage multiple deadlines without close supervision.
• Excited to grow with a small organization and help shape its direction (not only execute directives!).
• Comfortable with a part-time role for now, but interested in the possibility of it expanding in scope and hours over time.
• Generally familiar with the media (journalism, documentary, and creator) landscape. You understand the space we operate in and can speak to it credibly, even if you're not a practitioner yourself.
• Please note: this is not a role for a filmmaker or creative producer. We're looking for someone who wants to build a career in organizational management — development, communications, and operations — and not someone using this as a stepping stone toward active storytelling.

To Apply:

Please send a resume that addresses the above, a cover letter, and one to two examples that speak to your past experience (a grant excerpt, pitch, or piece of persuasive writing) to jobs@videoconsortium.org. Note that cover letters written by AI — that are tonally off, generic, and show a lack of personalization and care — will not receive a response; we want to hear from YOU.
