Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a Content & Communications Lead to join our marketing team! We’re a small, fast-moving group that creates moments and messages that drive our mission forward.
That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a master storyteller with a strategist’s eye for reputation. You will own our narrative across both owned and earned channels, building the content engine that shapes how the world perceives Recidiviz and our work.
Recidiviz is creating safer, healthier communities by improving outcomes for people in the criminal justice system. We build technology to reduce the number of people in prison and to help criminal justice leaders embrace data-driven decision-making.
Using software tools and thoughtful product design, we’ve been able to safely and permanently reduce incarceration and improve outcomes. We work side-by-side with leaders of the criminal justice system, people in prison and on supervision, and ecosystem partners to build a better path forward. In addition to the revenue we earn from state partners, some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations support our work.
People who succeed at Recidiviz lead with kindness and humility, assume good intent, learn from failure, and fix problems when they see them. They are excited to work arm in arm with government leadership and staff to improve outcomes. They are great listeners. They build deep relationships with and empathy for the people we work with and the people who our mission serves, even when those two groups feel at odds.
As the Content & Communications Lead, your work will bridge the gap between content marketing and strategic communications, ensuring that every blog post, case study, and press pitch positions Recidiviz to drive greater impact with our government partners.
You will not just be writing; you will be hunting for impact. You will interview pilot users to uncover success stories and translate them into assets that inspire adoption in other states. You will partner with our data analysts to understand and communicate industry-leading metrics and insights. Simultaneously, you will manage a highly targeted PR and speaking engagement strategy, securing high-value industry placements that validate our work while limiting our exposure to the risks of a highly polarized media environment.
You will report to the CMO and work closely with the State Engagement and Business Development teams to ensure they have the narrative tools to build deep high trust relationships.
This role requires occasional domestic travel (2-3x year) to collaborate with teammates in person, attend our annual Partner Summit, and support on-site content production with state partners.
Here are a few things you might accomplish in your first year at Recidiviz that would demonstrate wild success in this role:
Compensation is standardized based on roles and responsibilities. This ensures equitable compensation and responsible stewardship of our resources. As such, we do not negotiate compensation offers.
For employees based in the Oakland, CA, and New York City, NY, metropolitan areas, the salary for this role is $111,500. For employees based elsewhere in the United States, the salary for this role is $102,000.
Recidiviz was an all-volunteer effort until early 2019, when Clementine, Andrew, and Joshua founded the organization. Since then, we’ve built an A-team of software engineers, designers, product managers and domain experts, from companies like Google, Apple, Dropbox, Opower, and Sidewalk Labs. Recidiviz was part of Y-Combinator’s 2019 class and has received support from some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations, including Ford Foundation, Mackenzie Scott, Schmidt Futures, Arnold Ventures, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Mozilla Foundation.
Today, Recidiviz works with (and earns revenue from) over 19 state partners - big and small, red and blue - and touches over 45% of the country’s incarcerated population. We have helped to get hundreds of thousands of people out of the criminal justice system, safely and equitably. In addition to partnering with state Departments of Corrections, Recidiviz collaborates with and learns from partners – from organizations like the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) to community based organizations and justice-impacted individuals, whose perspectives guide our work.

Recidiviz recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, ancestry, citizenship, marital status, gender identity and all protected status as required by applicable law. We consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. If you have a special need that requires accommodation, please let us know in your application. Even if you don't think you meet all the criteria above, drop your resume, and we'll take a look – you might be great for another role or another time!
