At Range Group we believe in the power of the professional travel advisor. We represent over $4.5 billion in annual travel sales. All our investments stem from a common thesis, that travel advisors add real value to a trip. Travel advisors when equipped with technology and 24/7 support are irreplaceable. Equally important is our philanthropy. Range Foundation channels 10% of group profits to social impact. From exploration grants, improved access to education, new discoveries on sea and land, cultural infrastructure, and helping our global neighbors in times of need - we are investing to build a better future.
About the Role
Range Foundation is growing its charitable partnerships function, and we're looking for a Social Impact Specialist to help shape it. You'll assess which organizations we back, structure how we work with them, and bring their stories to life for employees, clients, and stakeholders across our family of companies. This is a hands-on role with real ownership, direct access to leadership, and a front-row seat to the impact your work creates.
Why you'll love this role:
- Shape key programs. Two key programs are in their early stages, so your ideas will shape how we find, structure, and manage a new series of partnerships and grants.
- Real ownership. You'll manage your own portfolio of local and international partners (ranging between $10k - $100K annually each) and see it through from first application to final impact report.
- Learn from leaders. You'll work closely with the Director and Manager of Social Impact to support our largest partnerships and interact with Senior and Executive leadership across the organization.
- Variety. One week you're vetting a new partner, the next you're writing a story, planning a volunteer day, or running an event.
- See the world (a little). Up to 10% travel means the occasional trip to support events with partners, donors, our travel community, and VIP guests.
- Meaningful work. Everything we do supports organizations making a difference, and you'll get to share that with the people around you.
What you'll do:
Manage charitable partnerships:
- Own a portfolio of local and international partners across the full lifecycle: application review, due diligence, agreement, ongoing relationship, and impact reporting.
- Build deep and sustained relationships with individual scientific grant recipients
- Assess prospective partners for fit with Range Foundation's focus areas and approach.

- Be the go-to contact for active partners, keeping communication strong and relationships healthy.
- Track milestones and deliverables, so commitments are met on time.
- Support the Director in finding and onboarding new partners and support the Manager and Director on our larger partnerships.
- Keep grant files and due diligence records accurate and aligned with foundation governance standards.
Tell our impact story:
- Help produce the annual impact report, turning data, partner stories, and campaign results into something people want to read.
- Write on-brand content and produce visuals for email, social media, newsletters, blogs, and our intranet.
- Develop strategies and materials that deepen engagement with our giving partners and amplify their stories.
- Plan and run in-person and virtual activations, volunteer opportunities, and partner events for our teams.
- Research trends and benchmarks to keep our giving strategy sharp.
Bring events to life:
- Support 2-3 domestic or international events a year focused on partner stewardship, fundraising, and stakeholder engagement, for external and internal audiences.
- Source venues, support contract negotiations, and keep details aligned with theme and budget.
- Coordinate travel, itineraries, and accommodations for staff, VIP guests, and speakers.
- Build and share agendas, timelines, and run sheets so everyone stays aligned.
- Lead or assist with on-site setup, vendor coordination, and breakdown, and solve problems as they come up.
- Represent Range Foundation warmly and professionally with donors, corporate partners, and institutional stakeholders.
What you bring:
- A bachelor's degree in international development, nonprofit management, business, communications, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Strong project management skills and the ability to juggle multiple relationships and deadlines
- Excellent writing skills and an eye for clear, engaging, on-brand messaging
