Who We Are

NewGlobe supports visionary governments to transform public education systems, the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society.

With a comprehensive system transformation platform and data-driven educational services, NewGlobe delivers rapid and dramatic improvements in learning outcomes at state and nationwide scale. Through building impactful partnerships and programmes, NewGlobe ensures that all children have access to an education that will develop their full potential and create a foundation for growth and prosperity. 

NewGlobe leverages more than a decade of educational experience and proven impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement -- all grounded in learning science -- to ensure each teacher is empowered to engage children in transformational learning, and all children have the opportunity to develop to their full potential. Every day, NewGlobe supports governments to solve what were once seen as intractable problems, and by doing so, ensures this generation will be able to grow up to lead more fulfilled lives, while simultaneously building economic prosperity for themselves, their communities, and the globe. 

NewGlobe’s high-touch, intensive professional development programs, along with integrated school management, teacher support, and assessment software, enable schools to succeed. NewGlobe works within state and national curriculum and syllabi, ensuring all children are empowered to learn their own history, and master local content, while being globally competitive in mathematics and languages. The science of behaviour change and the science of learning is at the foundation of all programming. 

NewGlobe works with urgency because youth quickly becomes adulthood and relentlessly because improvement requires continuous problem-solving. NewGlobe is honoured to serve and to help rebuild trust in public systems. 

NewGlobe’s work is all encompassing and will challenge you to use your full mind, and heart, each day. We need bright minds who want to be part of building a new globe -- a more equitable globe -- to join us. 

Academics

The objective of the Academics group is to drive student achievement. To do so, we must know what is happening minute-by-minute for the typical child. The student’s daily experience, and thus the path to achievement, emerges from their relationship with the teachers and the content that is delivered in the classroom. Our team is collaboratively organised around these levers. We develop rigorous content pitched at the right level for students to be delivered by a teacher who is prepared to succeed in the classroom. Our Instructional Design department builds the content; our Leadership & Development department trains teachers and school leaders using scientifically-proven techniques; our Learning Innovation department looks at cutting-edge research to generate breakthrough learning gains. Underpinning all of this is the work of the independent Measurement and Evaluation group, which provides Academics with an empirical orientation toward improving that daily experience and, in turn, driving achievement. 

About the Role

We are seeking a full-time Teachnial (Grants) Writer to join our global team. We are looking for someone to lead on locating funding opportunities across various domains (including innovation, EdTech, and GenAI, alongside larger-scale bilateral and multilateral funding for programme implementation), and to author successful proposals to these funding calls. This person will also contribute to the long-term sustainability and efficiency of the application process; this includes building a library of templates and excerpts on different components of the NewGlobe, as well as leading on the design of visual collateral like diagrams, infographics, etc. Alongside funding and grant writing, this role will play an active role in NewGlobe’s technical communications - authoring blogs and publications on various initiatives relevant to the broader policy discourse.

Our ideal candidate will have experience of writing technically in the field of education and research, with a specific background in successful grant writing. We have a strong preference for a candidate with specific experience in grant writing for international development programmes and education in particular. They will combine excellent writing with a proven ability to accurately capture and describe nuanced and complex elements of NewGlobe’s methodology as it pertains to a given call for proposals, taking pride in attention to detail. A keen sense of ownership, speedy execution, and determination are a must.

The Technical (Grants) Writer will be based in the United Kingdom - with a preference for London, Oxford, or Cambridge (or similar, with access to London for in-person meetings). The work will be largely remote, with periodic (~2-4 days per month) in-person work in London and potential for 1x / year travel to an operating country. The Technical (Grants) Writer will report to the Chief Academic Officer, who is based in London.

What You Will Do

  • Locate requests for proposals / funding opportunities that are relevant to the organisation. This includes targeted funding opportunities for investments in research and innovation, as well as funding that could unlock NewGlobe’s potential to serve additional communities (either in existing countries or in new countries).
  • Attend networking events that are relevant to a specific funding round or call for proposals; this could include in-person kickoff meetings at DFID, or virtual events for other funders; in all cases, gathering key insights and circulating internally with stakeholders
  • Plan, develop and write a range of grant applications - including for private, bilateral, and multilateral funding opportunities
  • Spearhead project management for grant authoring, coordinating other relevant stakeholders who are required for a successful application (including Finance, key experts, and senior leaders)
  • Collaborate with senior stakeholders across the organisation, in order to accurately describe key elements of the NewGlobe model, and also to solicit feedback on the most appropriate way to frame our approach to a given call
  • Build a template library of modular descriptions of NewGlobe’s core product suite and methodology, working towards more efficient authoring of future applications
  • Provide creative guidance for infographics and other visual collateral, to provide powerful imagery underscoring key NewGlobe systems and principles; the grant writer will provide the conceptual guidance, while NewGlobe’s Creative team will be responsible for the creation of the collateral itself
  • Author technical communications like blogs and publications to capture NewGlobe initiatives relevant to the broader education policy discourse
  • Navigate NewGlobe’s organisational structure, methodology, and track record - including its academic approach, technology ecosystem, and track record of impact
  • Provide technical writing and review of project materials in a quick, efficient manner.
  • Undertake ad hoc writing projects as necessary.
  • Other duties as required - including similar writing aimed at prospective partners

What You Should Have

  • A Bachelor’s degree in a social science, humanities, literature, writing, editing, copyediting, journalism, science communications, or similar field. A graduate degree in either an education or writing-related field is desirable.
  • At least 2 years of work experience where grant-writing entailed a significant portion of the job responsibilities - preferably in the field of education or international development.
  • Research skills, with a knowledge of active funders in education, EdTech, GenAI, and international development
  • Successful track record of grant applications
  • Experience managing projects - either as a dedicated role, or as a function of a role
  • Creative vision - the ability to capture complex content and topics, and to illustrate these through prose and through visuals.
  • Familiarity with quantitative research is a plus, but the ideal candidate should have —at least— a frank openness to learn more about it and develop some expertise in this area
  • Outstanding skills in persuasive writing and the ability to present technical ideas in a concise manner for a nontechnical audience
  • Superior written and verbal communication skills, with a keen eye for detail
  • Proven ability to learn quickly and understand complex topics
  • Familiarity with issues related to the education sector a plus
  • Proven ability to work independently, as well as part of a team
  • Proven ability to prioritise and organise own workload effectively and efficiently and meet deadlines.
  • A robust, confident, can-do attitude.
