- Support the development of applicant summary templates, borrower profile formats, borrower readiness tools, and review-cycle orientation materials
- Help frame borrower opportunities in a way that supports thoughtful member engagement while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and governance boundaries
- Develop borrower-facing guidance that helps applicants understand ReCirculate’s process, expectations, and what makes a strong applicant
- Build a library of reusable templates and content tools that ReCirculate staff can continue using after the consulting engagement
- Create standard formats for recurring content types, such as event agendas, speaker briefs, borrower profiles, sector briefs, member discussion guides, learning resource one-pagers, and post-event summaries
- Develop a simple organizing structure for Circle resources and internal content files
- Recommend practical workflows for moving content from idea to draft to review to deployment to reuse
- Help reduce future staff burden by creating materials that are clear, adaptable, and easy to update
- Meet with the Director of Strategy & Innovation as needed to align on content priorities, tone, audience needs, and near-term deliverables
- Help identify content gaps that may limit member engagement, borrower readiness, applicant conversion, or public understanding of the model
- Recommend which materials should be developed first during the launch period
- Help ensure ReCirculate’s content and learning strategy supports membership growth, borrower pipeline development, programming, impact reporting, and external visibility
