About Our Collective Practice
Our Collective Practice

1 builds the knowledge, narrative, and power needed to center girls’
activism across movements, sectors, and culture change efforts. As a hub for learning,
experimentation, and collaboration, we work to strengthen and connect the ecosystem in ways
that remain deeply accountable to girls and young feminists. Our commitment is rooted in their
safety, dignity, and freedom — and in an unshakeable belief in the dreams, resistance
strategies, and power they bring to shaping a more just world.
About the Role
This role will begin as a six-month, full-time consulting contract as Our Collective Practice
navigates a period of organizational and structural transition. The intention is for this role to
move into a full-time staff position once these structures are finalized. More information will be
shared on this structure during interviews with the top candidates.
The Grantmaking, Knowledge & Learning Manager will serve as a central connector and
strategist across Our Collective Practice’s growing portfolio of grantmaking, research, and
learning initiatives. This role will integrate grantmaking and knowledge stewardship through
thoughtful project management, documentation, and coordination—ensuring that our funding
strategies are aligned with our mandate and informed by ongoing learning, and that our
knowledge development efforts advance movement building, narrative power, and the dreams
and resistance of girls and young feminists globally.
As a growing, two-year-old organization, this is an exciting opportunity to join a small, dynamic
team at a moment of expansion—helping to deepen and strengthen core grantmaking,
narrative, and knowledge practices while contributing to a collaborative, care-centered
organizational culture. Working closely with the Director, team members, researchers, and
collaborators, this role will lead grantmaking, strengthen project delivery, foster cross-project
learning, and support the smooth implementation and completion of key initiatives.

1 Our Collective Practice is fiscally sponsored by Women Win, who currently maintains fiscal and
legal responsibility for Our Collective Practice.

The Grantmaking, Knowledge & Learning Manager will lead in implementing and managing the
grantmaking strategy, co-design and maintain systems that enable intentional documentation in
collaboration with the team, and facilitate effective coordination among collaborators across
movements, regions, and sectors.
This is a role for someone who is equally passionate about resource redistribution, systems and
ideas, timelines and liberatory frameworks, project management and political storytelling. We’re
looking for someone who thrives at the intersections—of grantmaking, feminist knowledge and
narrative power, structure and creativity—and who is energized by the rhythms of collaboration
and care. Strong grantmaking and project management experience, alongside a deep
grounding in decolonial feminist principles, are essential.
