Grant Writer (Part-Time)
Health In Harmony is seeking a skilled and mission-aligned Part-Time Grant Writer to support the development of high-quality institutional grant proposals and reports. This role is responsible for translating indigenous rainforest community-led outcomes, along with associated health and conservation data, into clear, compelling, and funder-ready narratives. The Grant Writer will report to the Grants Portfolio Manager but work closely across the Programs, Research, and Finance teams in a highly collaborative, remote environment. This role focuses primarily on proposal and report writing and is well-suited for an experienced grant writer who enjoys deep writing work, ethical storytelling, and cross-functional synthesis, without owning the full fundraising strategy or grant portfolio. Through this work, the Grant Writer helps ensure that Health In Harmony’s institutional partners understand the scientifically grounded link between human health and ecosystem integrity (Planetary Health), while maintaining the integrity, agency, and voice of Indigenous Peoples, Local Communities, and Afro-descendant Peoples.
