UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE

CCS Fundraising is seeking a Content Manager to join our Growth Center of Excellence (COE) team at a pivotal moment of growth for the firm. This role sits at the intersection of content and commerce, producing the written materials that equip our business development professionals to identify, engage, and convert prospective nonprofit clients.

You will work side-by-side with another talented content writer on the team and partner closely with colleagues in the Growth COE, Business Intelligence COE, and regional teams to develop the content that drives pipeline activity. The ideal candidate is a skilled, versatile writer who is equally comfortable producing a compelling sector sales pitch and a polished viewbook, and who finds deep satisfaction in seeing their work directly enable a business outcome.

This is a content production and content partnership role: requiring someone who can move quickly, manage multiple projects simultaneously, collaborate humbly and professionally with subject matter experts across the firm, and consistently deliver high-quality written materials that serve our sales and growth teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Sales Enablement Content

Develop and maintain a library of sales-ready content assets, including: talking points and objection-handling guides, service and sector sales pages, viewbooks and pitch decks, go-to-market resources and activation guides, prospect packages and customized outreach materials

Collaborate with Growth COE colleagues and regional teams to identify content gaps and prioritize production accordingly

Translate complex CCS capabilities, sector expertise, and data insights into clear, compelling narratives tailored to specific prospect audiences

Write and refine sector analysis documents and competitive positioning materials that arm BD professionals with differentiated messaging

Produce and update service-line and sector-specific sales collateral as CCS’s offerings and market positioning evolve

Content Production & Project Management

Own multiple concurrent content projects from brief to final delivery, with strong attention to deadlines and stakeholder alignment

Partner with the Corporate Graphic Designer to develop polished, on-brand final assets

Manage routing, review cycles, and approvals with internal stakeholders efficiently and professionally

Maintain organized content repositories and version control so materials are always current and accessible to the teams who need them

Brand & Thought Leadership

Write and edit a consistent cadence of external content—articles, case studies, and thought leadership—to maintain CCS’s market-facing voice and credibility

Contribute to flagship publications (e.g., Philanthropic Landscape, Philanthropy Pulse Report)

Ensure all written materials—internal and external—reflect the CCS brand voice and adhere to established editorial standards

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Build strong, trust-based working relationships with colleagues across the firm, within regional teams and internal COEs

Conduct interviews and briefings with subject matter experts to source content, handling stakeholder feedback with professionalism and grace

Coordinate with the Strategic Events team on event-related content needs, including program copy, speaker materials, and post-event follow-up assets

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Journalism, Communications, or a related field

5+ years of professional writing experience in content marketing, strategic communications, professional services, or a related field; experience producing sales or business development materials strongly preferred

Exceptional writing and editing skills across a wide range of formats and tones—from crisp talking points to polished long-form collateral

Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously with minimal supervision

A collaborative, service-oriented approach to working with internal stakeholders; the ability to receive and incorporate feedback with professionalism and without ego

Experience working within or alongside sales, business development, or growth functions is a strong plus

Familiarity with the nonprofit sector, fundraising, or philanthropy is a plus but not required

A bias toward action, a high standard for quality, and a genuine interest in seeing content work

CCS offers competitive benefits, a dynamic training program, resources, career advancement, mentoring, and networking opportunities. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and strongly encourage a diverse pool of candidates to apply.
