Job description
Unchained At Last, the survivor-led nonprofit at the helm of the national movement to end forced and child marriage in the United States, seeks a Senior Writer & Researcher to help steer that movement.
WARNING: Apply for this position only if you want a deeply meaningful, adventure-filled job that makes all your friends jealous.
ABOUT UNCHAINED
A lifetime of rape, forced parenthood, financial dependence and domestic servitude. This is the reality for individuals in the United States whose lives are ripped apart by forced marriage.
Unchained is the only organization dedicated to providing comprehensive, often life-saving legal and social services and emotional support — always for free — to women, girls and others in the U.S. who are resisting or escaping forced marriage. Unchained also is the only organization dedicated to promoting social, policy and legal change to end forced and child marriage in the U.S. The organization started and now leads a growing national movement to end child marriage in every U.S. state and at the federal level.
A day at Unchained is rarely dull. Members of the small but feisty Unchained team travel all across the U.S. to testify at legislative hearings and to Chain-In, in bridal gowns and chains, to protest forced and child marriage. In just the last few years, team members ate dinner with Chelsea Clinton, watched multiple Broadway shows and appeared on Apple TV’s Gutsy series.
Unchained prioritizes self-care and team building. The virtual office closes early every Friday and every day during the last week of the year and closes for all federal holidays and for a week every summer – in addition to a generous paid-time-off package. The Unchained team holds monthly art therapy sessions and semi-annual staff retreats that sometimes involve wearing pajamas to the office and always involve eating too much guacamole.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The Senior Writer & Researcher, reporting directly to the Executive Director, uses the power of the pen to convince federal and state lawmakers, funders, potential allies and other key stakeholders to join Unchained in its quest to eliminate forced marriage and child marriage in the U.S. Specifically, the Senior Writer & Researcher gets the opportunity to:
• Research and write memos, fact sheets and other materials about the harms of child marriage and forced marriage (with pro bono legal-research support from some of the world’s largest law firms);
• Draft grant proposals;
• Compose web posts, eblasts and other communications; and
• Identify new funding opportunities.
QUALIFICATIONS
You might be a good fit for this position if you:
• Have at least five years of professional creative writing experience, preferably as a journalist, magazine writer or similar;

• Can find the answer to anything with your outstanding research skills;
• Are detail oriented and highly organized;
• Hold a college degree; and
• Feel passionately about Unchained’s mission.
• BONUS: Are familiar with Stata.
Unchained encourages survivors of forced marriage to apply.
