At InzpireU, we are building systems that combine human expertise with AI-assisted workflows to help organizations apply for more grants, with better alignment and higher success rates. You will be part of that shift.
If you prefer manual, repetitive writing processes, this role is not for you.

- You will work on a platform designed to centralize research, writing, and submissions
- You will have the opportunity to increase your output and earning potential by writing more grants efficiently
- You will be part of a team focused on modernizing how grants are written and won
- Experienced grant writers who want to scale their impact and income using technology
- Professionals who are curious about AI and willing to learn new tools
- Individuals who can balance efficiency with thoughtful, high-quality writing
- Self-driven contractors who can manage their own workload and deliver consistently

- Strong writing, editing, and storytelling skills
- Ability to interpret grant requirements and align proposals accordingly
- Openness to learning and using AI tools in daily workflows
- Strong time management and ability to meet deadlines
