Overview

St. David’s Foundation is seeking a consultant for an organization-wide project to adopt and integrate the use of artificial intelligence tools into the Foundation’s work and operations. This includes transforming the Foundation’s current AI guidelines into a robust policy, creating a process for vetting AI tools for security and utility, educating and training staff on AI product use and privacy and security issues, and developing a framework to analyze work functions for optimization through the use of AI tools.

A successful partner must have knowledge of the AI industry and common tools, and the ability to guide the Foundation’s AI team through successful launch of its AI adoption and integration efforts. Beyond the obvious criteria of proven skills and experience, we’re looking for a partner who embraces mission-driven work and shares the same commitment to advancing equity and brings expertise and awareness in cultural competency related to AI technology. Experience with medical/dental organizations or grantmaking organizations is ideal.

A successful partner must demonstrate the ability to assist the Foundation in developing a plan that provides clarity and guidance in adopting and integrating AI technology with efficiency and impact. One that articulates objectives, goals, action steps, and metrics to measure ongoing progress. An effective plan is one that:

  • Provide a roadmap for managing the project complexities

  • Provides focus, clarity, and direction for both our internal and external work

  • Enables teams to create clear and realistic AI adoption workplans that are in service of our Foundation strategic vision and direction

About St. David’s Foundation

St. David’s Foundation is a community-focused and equity-driven organization with more than 100 employees supporting health and wellness in Central Texas. As one of the largest health foundations in the United States, the Foundation funds over $100 million annually in a five-county area surrounding Austin, Texas (Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties). Through a unique partnership with St. David’s HealthCare, we strategically reinvest proceeds from the hospital system back into the community, with the goal of advancing health equity and improving the health and well-being of our most underserved Central Texas neighbors. The Foundation also operates one of the largest mobile dental programs in the country and offers the largest healthcare scholarship program in Texas, the St. David’s Neal Kocurek Program.

Through investments and action, St. David’s Foundation is committed to centering health equity in all that we do so that all Central Texans have a fair chance to achieve optimal health with no avoidable, unjust, or systematically caused differences in health status due to ethnicity, race, age, ability, or geography.

Each team within the Foundation plays a key role in advancing our mission and has a role to play in the strategic planning process. Teams include Community Investments, Community Programs, Learning and Evaluation, Communications, Human Resources, Legal, IT, and Finance.

Contract Storyteller (Communications Specialist)

C&S

Remote

C&S

Date Posted: 3/12/2026

Most institutional work is described in reports.

We’re looking for someone who can turn it into stories people actually want to read.

C&S is seeking a contract storyteller to help uncover and shape powerful narratives emerging from college campuses across the country.

These campuses are part of the College Presidents for Civic Preparedness (CP2) coalition — a network of more than 125 colleges and universities working to prepare students for civic life.

The contractor will lead the strategic and creative direction for several storytelling projects, including narrative-driven case studies and the CP2 annual impact report.

This work contributes to C&S’s broader mission: sparking 20 million young people to step up as civic problem-solvers by 2029.

Our storytelling approach is simple:
Show the work. Real people. Real challenges. Real civic problem-solving.

The Work

Over the next two quarters, you will help lead storytelling for two core projects.

Narrative Case Studies

Three case study-like outputs highlighting how members of the College Presidents for Civic Preparedness coalition are building a strong civic culture where every student can practice the essential civic skills they need to become engaged citizens.

Annual Impact Report

A publication designed to read less like a traditional nonprofit report and more like a clear, engaging narrative about what is actually happening across the College Presidents for Civic Preparedness coalition.

Rather than producing traditional communications materials packaged as PDFs, this role focuses on finding and shaping the stories that show civic learning in action.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Working with the C&S team to identify compelling student-driven stories from a 125+ campus network

  • Drawing mostly from an existing storybank, and developing new stories where needed

  • Writing case studies, report content, and narrative storytelling aligned with the C&S brand voice

  • Developing content designed to work across reports, web, and digital storytelling formats

  • Providing strategic and creative direction for storytelling projects

  • Collaborating closely with a C&S Marketing Director, Communications Manager, and Graphic Designer to shape final outputs 

Who This Role Is For

This role is best suited for someone who thinks of themselves as a storyteller first.

Strong candidates may come from backgrounds in:

  • Content creation

  • Journalism

  • Editorial or mission-driven content creation

You might be a good fit if you:

  • Are an exceptional digital-first writer and storyteller

  • Can identify compelling narratives within complex material

  • Know how to translate institutional work into clear, human-centered stories

  • Enjoy collaborating with designers and creative teams

  • Are comfortable working independently on project-based work

Helpful, but not required:

  • Experience with higher education

  • Experience with civic engagement or democracy work

  • Experience producing impact reports, narrative case studies, or long-form storytelling

A Note on Fit

This role, however, is specifically designed for someone who sees themselves as a storyteller first. If your work is primarily focused on media relations, marketing campaigns, or institutional messaging, this role may not be the best fit. But if you enjoy reporting, interviewing, finding narrative threads, and shaping stories that bring complex work to life, we encourage you to submit your materials.

  • Type: Independent contractor

  • Duration: Project-based over the next two quarters

  • Location: Remote

  • Collaborate with creative partners on multimedia storytelling, including photo essays and digital content.

  • Develop and manage editorial calendars aligned with fundraising, advocacy, and programmatic priorities.

  • Coordinate content workflows across internal teams (development, programs, leadership) to ensure clarity, consistency, and timeliness.

  • Coordinate and manage the work of other communications partners (e.g., designers, photographers, videographers), managing briefs, timelines, and deliverables.

  • Support content distribution and alignment across channels, including social media, email, website, and fundraising communications.

  • Work closely with leadership and development teams to ensure narratives are compelling and strategically aligned to organizational goals.

  • Track performance and engagement to inform editorial decisions and evolving narrative priorities.

Key Deliverables

  • A regularly refreshed story bank of human-centered narratives, voices, and visuals from Doctors of the World USA’s U.S. and global work.

  • 2–3 written pieces per month, depending on length and scope, including a mix of consultant-led original writing and editorial shaping, editing, and adaptation of stories from other contributors and the global Médecins du Monde network for U.S. audiences.

  • Refreshed website copy and program pages that clearly communicate Doctors of the World USA’s work, values, and human impact across U.S. and global contexts.

  • Editorially driven social media posts and email newsletter content that extend and reinforce core narratives across channels.

  • Editorial plans and content calendars aligned with advocacy, programmatic, and fundraising priorities.

Qualifications & Attributes

  • Strong ability to connect human stories to broader social, political, and systemic challenges.

  • Curious, self-directed, and comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy.

  • Excellent multi-format writer, able to move between narrative storytelling and concise, high-impact copy.

  • Strong visual storytelling sensibility, with experience working closely with designers, photographers, and videographers.

  • Quick learner with strong editorial judgment, able to connect organizational priorities with evolving global challenges and lived human experience.

  • Experience working across digital, social, and email communications.

  • Comfortable using AI and other digital tools to support research, synthesis, editing, and workflow efficiency, with human judgment and ethical storytelling standards guiding all final content.

  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate across teams and build relationships with external partners; Spanish and/or French fluency is a plus.
