About Resolution Project
At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact.

Altogether, our Fellows have impacted the lives of more than 6 million people around the globe. Through Resolution Project, young leaders receive unmatched guidance and wisdom from a team of partners, volunteers, and innovative peers around the globe.

Who We Are Seeking
In terms of who will succeed in this position, the ideal candidate :
Has a passion for the issues faced by children and families involved in the child welfare system , whether exhibited in work, volunteer, or personal experience - and feels a calling to do more.

The successful candidate must have sales experience, ideally in a team-selling environment (traditional fundraising experience is not necessary). This is a person who loves sharing stories about the good things people are doing and presenting opportunities for engagement - and isn't afraid of failure.

This is the kind of person who quickly figures out how to completely defy low expectations, who creates a game for themselves about how to reach their goal and will do what it takes to get there.
Has an insane level of persistence - this person just keeps going at the goal, despite roadblocks and rejections, and can keep others moving toward the goal, as well. They have encountered plenty of rejection and are constantly thinking about what new strategies to try out in their next approach, or how to gently plow through resistance.
Is humble and coachable - this is a life-long learner, who is eager to engage in the organization's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging efforts and its impact on the children and families we serve. They should be willing to take a step back and evaluate their own performance to improve it. This person should have a positive outlook on feedback and change if it is for the betterment of the position, person, and organization.
A few other qualities we're looking for include:
An action-obsessed person who is a phenomenal relationship builder . They can't go to bed with action items still on their list!
A strategic organizer - rather than being too focused on all the detail, they concentrate on outlining the strategy and most critical details needed to work each prospect or opportunity, from initial preparation and phone call to the final follow-through. This person is methodical without letting process slow them down .
Entrepreneurial, bringing ideas to the table, and then taking initiative to make them happen. (We are a very small team!)
Strong writer -capable of writing blog posts, stories of youth and families and assisting with grant writing and reporting.
A great communicator - both in writing and in person and in a variety of settings.
