The Nonprofit Advantage in Today’s Hiring Market

Something consistent keeps surfacing in today’s job listings: nonprofit and mission-driven organizations are posting roles with more intangible perks that many corporate employers still struggle to offer. Remote flexibility. Meaningful subject matter. Teams small enough that your work actually shapes the public conversation.

Three of today’s most compelling openings come from organizations where the mission is the product.

That matters more than it might seem on the surface. When a nonprofit newsroom offers a remote marketing role, the tradeoff isn’t “less pay for warm feelings.” These organizations need sharp, commercially minded professionals who can run campaigns, analyze performance data, and grow audiences. They just happen to do it in service of urban policy, foreign affairs, or regional culture instead of SaaS dashboards.

For candidates weighing their next move, today’s featured roles share a common thread: each one puts you close to the editorial core of the organization, where your work directly affects what audiences see and how they engage. If you’ve been updating your LinkedIn profile with an eye toward purpose-driven work, these are worth a close look.

Today’s Hot Jobs

Marketing and Advertising Coordinator at Next City

Why This One Deserves Your Attention: Next City is a nonprofit newsroom covering urban issues and solutions journalism. This remote, part-time coordinator role sits at the intersection of editorial and revenue, managing sponsored content, banner ads, and marketing campaigns across the site and newsletters. For someone who wants hands-on digital marketing experience inside a lean media operation, this is a rare find. Part-time remote roles with real analytical responsibility don’t come along often.

What They Need From You:

1 to 3 years of digital marketing experience
Advanced understanding of digital media analytics, including setting up tracking infrastructure for client KPIs
Experience with Google Ad Manager, Google Analytics, and Mailchimp
Ability to manage multiple campaigns simultaneously across sponsored articles, email, and social

Apply to the Marketing and Advertising Coordinator role at Next City

Foreign Affairs Communications Manager at Council on Foreign Relations

What Makes This Role Exceptional: You would promote the scholarship of Foreign Affairs magazine, arguably the most influential foreign policy publication in the world. This is a media relations role with global stakes. You’ll build and execute promotion plans for six annual issue launches plus daily online essays, pitch authors to journalists, and book interviews across platforms. The position is deeply embedded in breaking news cycles, which means your pitch instincts need to be sharp and fast.

The Core Requirements:

Demonstrated experience building and executing media promotion plans across traditional and emerging channels
A strong existing network of reporters, editors, and producers (or the ability to build one quickly)
Skill in pitching essays and booking author interviews across broadcast, print, and digital platforms
Comfort maintaining coverage trackers, press lists, and internal systems

Apply to the Foreign Affairs Communications Manager position

Editor at Greenwich Magazine (Moffly Media)

Why This Stands Out: Regional magazine editorships are becoming increasingly rare, which makes this one all the more interesting. Moffly Media is looking for someone deeply connected to the Greenwich, Connecticut community to lead editorial across print (10 issues per year) and digital channels. This is a full editorial leadership role: you’ll conceptualize content, manage freelancers and staff contributors, and own the brand voice across every platform. The listing specifically emphasizes community engagement and relationship-building as core to the job, signaling that Moffly wants an editor who is as comfortable at local events as they are in a CMS.

Skills and Experience They’re After:

Editorial experience with creative vision for both print and digital content
Ability to conceptualize, assign, and manage all editorial content across channels
Proven skill coordinating freelance and staff contributors to meet quality standards
Strong community ties and comfort developing local relationships that fuel story ideas

Apply to the Greenwich Magazine Editor role

Professional Takeaways

Today’s listings reinforce something worth internalizing: smaller organizations often give you more direct influence over the final product. At a Council on Foreign Relations or a Next City, you’re not three layers removed from the audience. You are the connection point between the work and the people who consume it.

If your resume leans heavily on corporate brand experience, consider how to reframe that background for mission-driven employers. Lead with outcomes, audience growth metrics, and campaign results rather than brand names. These organizations care less about where you’ve been and more about the specific skills you’ll bring through the door.

For anyone exploring a shift toward communications and public relations work with purpose, the opportunities are real and they’re hiring now.

Also on the Web

These roles are also making waves across the creative leadership landscape:

VP Creative Director at Syneos Health (Santa Monica, CA)

Healthcare creative leadership with a listed salary range of $200K to $210K per year. That kind of transparency at the VP level is a strong signal for the sector. Apply to the VP Creative Director role at Syneos Health

Creative Director at Duke Cannon Supply Co (Minneapolis, MN)

A DTC brand with a distinctive voice looking for someone to own the creative vision. Duke Cannon has built a cult following through irreverent branding, making this a rare chance to lead creative at a company where tone is everything. Apply to the Creative Director role at Duke Cannon

Creative Director, Shark Beauty at SharkNinja (Needham, MA)

SharkNinja continues expanding its beauty division, and this art-focused creative director role reflects how consumer product companies are building in-house creative teams that rival agency capabilities. Apply to the Creative Director position at SharkNinja

6 winning cold-calling scripts that actually book meetings

Your cold leads don’t owe you their time.

Every B2B sales rep knows the pressure — you’ve got a quota to hit, a pipeline to build, and prospects who’d rather ghost you than give you 30 seconds. While your competitors fumble through generic scripts that get shut down faster than a pop-up ad, you need an approach that actually works.

The difference between top performers and everyone else? They’ve mastered the art of the cold call with scripts that spark curiosity, handle objections like a pro, and turn skeptical strangers into booked meetings.

Apollo collected battle-tested cold-calling scripts from some of the most successful sales professionals in the game. You’ll discover exactly what to say in those make-or-break moments, from handling the dreaded “just-send-me-an-email” brush-off to turning triggers into conversations that convert.

Ready to transform your cold calling from painful to profitable? Let’s dive into the scripts, strategies, and insider tips that separate the closers from the rest.

What is a cold call?

The cold call is an outbound sales strategy that attempts to engage prospects for the first time. More often than not, these are prospects who have never interacted with your business before and maybe haven’t even heard of your brand.

If you’re in sales, you know all of this.

You also probably know that cold calling gets a bad rap.

Only 27% of sales reps believe that cold calling is an effective first step in sales outreach. However, 82% of buyers say they’ve accepted a meeting with a salesperson after a series of touchpoints that began with a cold call.

Cold calling does work. But too often, salespeople mistake poorly strategized sales calls that fail to offer any value as buyer disinterest.

How to structure a cold-call script

Think of your script less like a rigid speech and more like a roadmap. A good structure keeps you on track while giving you the freedom to navigate the conversation. Here’s a simple, four-part framework that works.

The Opener: Get straight to the point. Introduce yourself and your company, and immediately acknowledge that it’s a cold call. This builds trust and disarms the prospect.
The Value Proposition: This is your “what’s in it for them.” In one or two sentences, connect what you do to a specific problem or goal they likely have. Make it about them, not you.
The Engaging Question: Instead of launching into a monologue, ask a thoughtful, open-ended question. This turns the call into a conversation and helps you qualify their needs.
The Call-to-Action (CTA): Be clear about what you want next. Don’t ask if you can send an email. Ask for a short, specific amount of time on their calendar to discuss further.

Cold call script examples

1. When you want to address the elephant in the room

One popular, effective strategy is to directly address that—yes, this is in fact a cold call.

If you cut right to “Caught you on a cold call, can I steal a minute?” chances are, they will appreciate transparency and give you the chance to pitch.

2. When you’re calling based on a relevant trigger

Making cold calls based on new triggers is a great way to get purchase-ready leads on the line. When you use this outreach strategy, sales coach Charlotte Lloyd recommends that sales teams use that information to their full advantage by surfacing specific challenges that speak directly to that experience.

For example, if they are a growing team, they may have issues in efficiently scaling. Or if they are recently remote, they may have workflow challenges.

3. When you want to invoke fear of missing out

FOMO (or fear of missing out) is a powerful emotional tool—especially put in the context of a prospect’s competitors.

This winning cold-calling sales script from Lloyd works deserves a spot in your sales process because it:

Uses a permission-based opener
References hard, relevant data as social proof
Paints a picture of a better reality that the prospect is missing out on

4. When you’re getting pushed off the phone

Prospects are going to try to push you off the phone—the trick is finding ways to get your value proposition out before they can.

Anthony Balestras, one of Orum‘s highest-performing salespeople, does this with one simple question: “Can I ask you one quick question?”

It stops busy buyers in their tracks and subtly piques their interest.

“It’s important to ask something intriguing, a question where you know the answer will be ‘yes’ or something positive,” says Anthony.

5. When you hear ‘Just send me an email’

This simple cold-calling maneuver comes from the one and only Sarah Brazier. When a prospect says they will review your pitch over email, she calls this “lobbing a shallow objection.”

It’s not a firm no—but it might as well be one.

You can use this line to subtly counter and try to salvage your opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with them right then and there (because there is never any guarantee you’ll get their attention again).

6. When you want to open with a simple, humorous one-liner

This cold-call script comes from comedian Jon Selig, king of the cold opener. He swears by this approach because it:

Introduces yourself
Immediately acknowledges that the sales call is cold
Highlights pain points that a prospect likely struggles with (in this case, sales and marketing alignment)
Frames this hyper-relevance as a “one-liner,” which makes people chuckle
Does all of the above within five to 10 seconds of the initial cold call

And get creative with it!

The word “cold” is also used to describe emotional fears (i.e., “cold sweat”). Think about the prospect’s pain points and plug them into the one-liner:

“This call is colder than {{enter your target persona’s emotional reaction to the problem you solve}}.”

(It really works, too!)

Cold-calling tips for more effective cold calling

1. Do your research

Your prospect may not know you, but you should know them.

Gathering information about the prospect’s company, the technology they use, a mutual connection, their headcount, funding, job openings, and who they are as people will make all the difference in creating quality cold outreach.

2. Practice makes perfect

Your pitch is a performance, and you never want to sound like you’re reading from a cold-call script (even if that’s exactly what you’re doing).

Outbound experts Josh Garrison and Balestras have a seven-day strategy for practicing and perfecting your cold-calling pitch.

Day 1: Record your pitch

Day 2-6: Practice 25x and record the 25th

Day 7: Record your final pitch and compare it to Day 1

“I’ve often asked SDRs to practice their pitch 150x just so they can see that progress,” says Garrison. “Cold calling is real work, and practice makes perfect.”

3. Deep dive into your cold-call performance

Listening to successful (and not-so-successful) cold calls is a great way to improve and iterate on your own cold-call script and up your sales game.

Take note of:

Your pace and tone. Were you speaking clearly and at a comfortable pace? Was your tone friendly, confident, and engaging?
Objective handling. Are your responses empathetic and solution focused? Do you validate the customer’s concerns before presenting a solution?
The key moments. When does the buyer’s attitude shift, positively or negatively?
Usage of silence. Silence can be powerful when engaging decision makers. Notice if you use silence effectively, giving the customer time to think and respond.

Your personalization and adaptability. Do you tailor the cold call based on the customer’s specific situation, or do you stick rigidly to your call script?

Turn cold calls into closed deals

Whether it’s addressing the call’s nature upfront, leveraging timely triggers, invoking a bit of FOMO, or even using humor to break the ice, each approach has its unique flair.

So, dive into these scripts, embrace these cold-calling strategies, and remember: Every call is an opportunity to connect, engage, close more deals, and make an impact.

Frequently asked questions about cold-calling scripts

What are the 3 C’s of cold calling?

The three C’s are Confidence, Clarity, and Conviction. Confidence is about how you sound — believe in what you’re saying. Clarity means your message is simple and easy to understand. Conviction is the genuine belief that you can help the prospect, which makes your pitch more compelling.

What’s the best opening line for a cold call?

A great opener is direct and respectful of their time. Try something like, “Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Company]. I know I’m catching you out of the blue, but I was hoping to ask you one quick question about how you’re handling [specific challenge]. Can I steal 30 seconds?”

How long should a cold-call script be?

Keep it short. Your initial pitch should take less than a minute to deliver. The goal isn’t to tell them everything; it’s to create enough intrigue to book a longer meeting. Think of it as a trailer, not the full movie.

Should I sound scripted or conversational when cold calling?

Always aim for conversational. A script is your guide, not your teleprompter. Practice it until you’ve internalized the key points, then deliver them in your own natural voice. The best reps sound like they’re having a real conversation because they are — the script just provides the guardrails.

How do I practice cold-call scripts effectively?

Practice with a colleague and ask for honest feedback. Pay attention to your tone, pacing, and how you handle objections. The more you practice, the more natural you’ll sound.

Four-Time Cooking Competition Champion James Briscione Shares How Brunch is Booming in 2026 on TipsOnTv

Culinary expert and best-selling author James Briscione shares simple, flavor-forward ideas for elevated at-home brunch during National Brunch Month

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2026 / Brunch is no longer just a weekend indulgence; it is becoming one of the most popular at-home entertaining moments of the season. As National Brunch Month shines a spotlight on this growing trend, James Briscione, a four-time cooking competition champion, best-selling author and culinary innovator, shares smart, flavor-forward ways to elevate brunch using everyday ingredients. From bold savory upgrades to bright spring additions, he delivers approachable ideas that feel special but stay practical for real kitchens.

Briscione highlights how evolving food preferences and seasonal inspiration are shaping modern brunch menus, with consumers seeking elevated yet simple dishes that balance flavor, convenience and presentation for gatherings at home.

ADD MORE FLAVOR TO A BRUNCH MENU

Del Monte vegetables make it easy to create delicious meals and sides, and they have a variety of bold new flavors to help elevate brunch this spring. Flavors like Cajun Style Diced Potatoes and Hot Honey Mustard Carrots bring excitement to the table. Whether leaning toward breakfast favorites like eggs and muffins, or more lunch-style dishes like ham and sides, these options add excitement to the table. Cajun potato breakfast burritos can even be made ahead of time, and Andouille sausage can be added for an extra kick.

A GO-TO DISH

Cannot go wrong with Bruschetta. Contadina has been bringing authentic Italian flavor to dishes since 1918, offering a full suite of premium tomato products ranging from versatile Crushed Tomatoes to Petite Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano, which are a flavor shortcut in themselves. This recipe is so simple and versatile-keep it light and let the tomatoes shine, or customize it with ingredients like parmesan, arugula, ricotta, olives or even tuna.

SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE FILLING

For something a little bit more robust, Italian dishes are always the way to go. Contadina makes it easy to bring authentic Italian dishes with ease and confidence like this Shakshuka, or as they call it in Italy, Eggs in Purgatory. It starts with this amazingly rich and robust tomato sauce, and the eggs are baked directly in it. It could not be any simpler or more satisfying. When looking for something more comforting, try Skillet Beef Lasagna. It is going to leave everybody feeling warm and toasty at the table, encouraging guests to linger-exactly what brunch is all about. Best of all, it is made in one pan, so cleanup is simple. Or, try Eggplant Parmesan for a quick, light take on the classic. For more information, visit www.contadina.com.

BRUNCH BEVERAGES AND SWEETS

Del Monte pre-cut fruits have countless uses, from snacks to desserts and even drinks. These mangos and pineapples in extra light syrup are picked at the peak of ripeness and refreshingly chilled at your grocery store, ready to turn into something special. For something light and bubbly, Tropical Mule Mocktails combine sweet mango, tangy pineapple and ginger beer. For something creamier and extra fun for any kiddos at the table, Mango Smoothies come together with just three ingredients and ice. For more information, visit www.delmonte.com.

Artificial intelligence isn’t replacing the software engineer (yet)

By Alex Cwirko-Godycki for Pave

Artificial intelligence isn’t replacing the software engineer (yet)

For much of 2024 and 2025, one particular workforce narrative dominated the technology press: artificial intelligence would devour software engineers first. The logic tracked. If AI can write code, why keep paying expensive engineers to do the same?

New research from Pave‘s real-time workforce data from more than 8,700 companies tells a different story. Hiring for software engineers is rising—and the reasons why illuminate something very important about how AI is actually reshaping technical work.

Overall Hiring for Software Engineers is Steady

In short, Pave’s data doesn’t support the AI displacement narrative. Since Q4 2023, software engineers have accounted for between 19.3% and 22.5% of all new hires joining Pave’s dataset each quarter—a signal of stability and resilience, not volatility.

More importantly, absolute hiring volumes paint an even rosier picture: a consistent set of companies contributing to Pave’s real-time dataset over the past two years hired 9.0% more software engineers in 2025 than in 2024.

Pave

If AI were systematically displacing software engineers, you’d expect to see all of these numbers dropping. They’re not.

One explanation for this seemingly surprising result is Jevons paradox, an old economics concept which states: as a resource becomes more efficient to use, total consumption of that resource tends to rise, not fall. AI tools certainly make software engineers more productive, so perhaps those productivity gains are expanding demand for engineering talent rather than eliminating jobs.

On the surface, this is good news. However, these aggregate hiring figures obscure a talent shift worth examining more closely.

Junior Talent is Losing Out in the AI Age

Digging deeper into the data, companies appear to be prioritizing experienced engineering talent as AI adoption accelerates. Since Q4 2023, the percentage of all software engineers in entry-level individual contributor roles (levels P1 and P2 in Pave’s job architecture system) has dropped steadily from a high of 22.9% to a low of 16.7% as of Q3 2025. Meanwhile, senior individual contributors (levels P5 and P6) have grown from 9.1% to 11.6% of all software engineers. The chart below does not show midcareer individual contributors (levels P3 and P4), who still account for the majority of all software engineers.

Pave

A related metric reinforces the trend. The average age of engineers is rising across all major job family areas, including AI/ML engineering, hardware engineering, and software engineering. This suggests a growing bias toward senior talent beyond software engineering.

Pave

Looking Forward

Reports of software engineering’s demise are premature. As of early 2026, companies continue to hire software engineers at high volumes—though they increasingly concentrate that demand at the senior end of the experience spectrum.

For individuals weighing software engineering as a career path, the implication is clear: technical skills alone no longer differentiate you enough. The jobs of the future sit at the intersection of engineering ability and broader business judgment, including commercial acumen, communication skills, and problem-solving. An education that develops those skills alongside coding will likely age better than one focused on technical execution alone.

For employers, the investment case is straightforward. Senior engineers who can direct and extend AI capabilities are becoming a real source of competitive advantage. In a market where this talent is already scarce, the cost of hiring the best is rising fast.

New to The Street Resigns Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACXP) to Continue Long-Form Interview Series, Outdoor Media Campaigns and Accredited Investor Events

Three Consecutive Years of Ongoing Predictable Media™ Partnership

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2026 / New to The Street, one of the longest-running sponsored business television brands, proudly announces the re-signing of Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACXP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections.

The renewed agreement extends a multi-year strategic media partnership between New to The Street and Acurx, continuing a comprehensive, multi-platform campaign that includes long-form television interviews, iconic outdoor billboard placements, and exclusive accredited investor events.

As part of the expanded engagement, Acurx will continue to be featured in:

Monthly long-form executive interviews across New to The Street’s full media platform
Nationwide broadcasts on Bloomberg Television and Fox Business as sponsored programming
High-impact outdoor billboard campaigns across Times Square and the New York City Financial District
Curated accredited investor events hosted in New York City

New to The Street has also previously produced a full 30-minute biography-format feature on Acurx, highlighting the company’s scientific innovation, leadership, and clinical progress.

Clinical Momentum and Strategic Positioning

Acurx recently announced a new clinical trial program for its lead antibiotic candidate, ibezapolstat (IBZ), targeting patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI). The program is designed to support advancement into Phase 3 international clinical trials, with the potential to redefine treatment by addressing both acute infection and recurrence prevention with a single agent.

Phase 2 data demonstrated:

96% clinical cure rate in acute CDI patients
Zero recurrence observed during follow-up
Preservation of the gut microbiome, a key differentiator versus current standard-of-care antibiotics

The new trial will focus on patients with multiple recurrences, with enrollment expected to begin later this year. If successful, ibezapolstat could become the first antibiotic to demonstrate clinical success in both treatment and prevention of CDI recurrence.

The program has received FDA Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations, along with SME designation from the European Medicines Agency, reinforcing its regulatory and clinical significance.

Executive Commentary

Vince Caruso, Co-Founder and CEO of New to The Street, stated:

"We have been working with Acurx Pharmaceuticals and David Luci and his team for years. Our collaboration has included a full biography-format 30-minute show, as well as ongoing monthly long-form interviews across our entire platform. Combined with our outdoor billboard dominance and accredited investor events, we continue to deliver a powerful and predictable media platform that supports Acurx’s growth and visibility in the public markets."

About Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a new class of small molecule antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections. The Company’s approach is to develop antibiotic candidates with a Gram-positive selective spectrum (GPSS®) that blocks the active site of the Gram-positive-specific bacterial enzyme DNA polymerase IIIC (pol IIIC), inhibiting DNA replication and leading to Gram-positive bacterial cell death.

Its R&D pipeline includes antibiotic product candidates targeting Gram-positive bacteria, including Clostridioides difficile, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP), and Bacillus anthracis (anthrax; a Bioterrorism Category A Threat-Level pathogen).

Opening June 2026 in Los Angeles ahead of the World Cup, Pawn Shop blends community-driven sports culture with elevated dining and luxury viewing

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2026 / Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN) today announced that two of its subsidiaries, The Door and Shore Fire Media, have been selected to lead communications and launch strategy for Pawn Shop, a new hospitality concept designed to redefine the modern sports experience.

Developed by Diego Torres-Palma of Ventana Ventures, Pawn Shop will open this summer, strategically timed with the World Cup, at 5901 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles-formerly the site of Brothers Collateral Pawn Shop. The 7,808-square-foot venue will restore the historic 1930s building, reintroducing it as a community gathering place while delivering a high-end sports viewing experience.

At the culinary helm is James Beard Award-winning chef Tony Messina, a partner in the concept, bringing a food-forward approach that elevates the traditional sports bar model. As the former executive chef and partner at Uni in Boston, Messina earned national acclaim and built a reputation for blending precision technique with bold, unexpected flavors.

Pawn Shop is positioned as a next-generation destination where great food, a high-energy bar program, and sports shape culture. The space will feature more than 60 televisions and stadium-style private mezzanine suites, designed with a luxury hospitality sensibility. Distinct from nightlife-driven concepts, Pawn Shop is intentionally built as a premium sports venue, anchored in community, accessibility, and repeat visitation.

The Door and Shore Fire Media will lead strategic communications and earned media as well as cultural positioning and talent-driven opportunities. Together, the teams will focus on establishing Pawn Shop as a defining voice in contemporary sports culture through high-impact storytelling, high-profile partnerships, and buzzworthy launch moments.

The integrated campaign will roll out in phases leading up to opening, with a focus on sustained cultural relevance, strategic partnerships, and a steady cadence of earned media.

More details on partnerships, programming, and launch events will be announced in the coming months.
