About the role

Copper is looking for an experienced government grant writer to report on existing grants and apply for new grants, particularly with NYSERDA and DOE.
The role starts as a three month, full-time contract.
If it's a good fit on both sides and our grant writing needs continue to grow, there's a real possibility this becomes a permanent, full-time role at the end of the contract.

After that, you'll own quarterly reporting on our DOE grant. You'll work from existing scaffolding and prior submissions, check in with us to confirm details, and keep us on schedule.
This will also include working with project managers on the side of the grant management organizations to update on our progress and manage expected deliverables.
Along the way, we'd love your help building up a library of reusable content (company background, technology descriptions, project narratives) that we can pull from for future applications.
At times you will need to start from a blank page, but you'll also have pre-existing documentation and clear prompts when you're asked to create new documents.
The ability to manage your own time and stay in touch with us as you go. This is a contract role and we'll trust you to keep things moving.
An easy ability to work with people and build relationships with grant program managers and Copper staff.
After that, you'll own quarterly reporting on our DOE grant.
The ability to manage your own time and stay in touch with us as you go.

$131-148,000/year salary ($32,500-37,000 for the 13-week contract term).
This is a fixed-term W2 role for three months, full-time.
We'll provide scope, source material, and access to the people on our team who can answer questions.
We will provide you with a laptop.
At the end of the three months, if things are going well and our grant writing needs continue to grow, there may be a possibility to convert this into a full-time, permanent role with salary, benefits, and equity.
We're hoping to start as soon as we can find the right person.

State energy commission or Departments of Energy, Defense, Health and Human Services, or something similar would be especially helpful, but it isn't a hard requirement.
