We are a world-class nonprofit digital library headquartered in San Francisco. Our mission is to provide universal access to all knowledge: the books, Web pages, audio recordings, videos, software, and other artifacts that make up our shared culture. While we are best known for the Wayback Machine (an archive of over 735 billion web pages dating back to 1996), we also digitize thousands of books and other materials each day, and partner with over 1,100 libraries, archives, museums, universities, and nonprofits. Together our small but passionate team has built Archive.org into one of the world’s top 300 websites.

The philanthropy team at the Internet Archive is responsible for connecting the Internet Archive with the generous supporters who help us succeed. With over 100,000 donors contributing to us each year, we work hard to make sure that we build strong relationships with our community.

You’ll be able to explore the huge range of projects and programs we work on and find ways to share that work with our contributors.

Responsibilities:

• Draft a wide range of written philanthropic communications, including emails, blog posts, display advertising, reports, and social media content

• Create content for a variety of audiences—from major philanthropists to small-sum donors, book lovers to software engineers, nostalgists to futurists and everyone in between

• Customize and orient content for specific donor segments, platforms, and groups

• Proofread and copy edit other people’s writing; review not only content but also spelling, grammar, formatting, and display on several different platforms and channels

• Develop long-term communication strategies to help us achieve our fundraising goals: maintain a content calendar, brainstorm story ideas, and plan out short campaigns

• Implement A/B tests, analyze email performance, and adjust content strategy accordingly
