VALUES
Benefits & Perks
We place great value in being an organization where our team members enjoy coming to work. Below are the resources available to IGNITE employees intended to promote wellbeing and ensure a happier, more well-rested, and more productive team.
PAY EQUITY
You have many talents. Salary negotiation doesn’t have to be one of them. At IGNITE, we invest in our team, ensuring salary levels for all staff are benchmarked to the 80th percentile for nonprofit organizations of our size. We match each job to its corresponding level, salary, and career trajectory, so you can count on transparency, equity, and a clear path to growth. Salaries will always be listed clearly in job descriptions.
FLEXIBILITY
We know you have a full life, including friends, family, and obligations. We believe flexibility at work is key to your success. IGNITE is a fully remote organization with team members across the United States. You can count on home office setup support and cell phone reimbursement to make sure you’re set up for success. We offer a generous childcare policy if you need to travel for work. You also get to choose 2 additional holidays (in addition to the 15 org-wide paid holidays), since we know the diversity of our team means that you may celebrate different occasions and holidays than others on the team.
HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Your health comes first. Staff have access to medical, dental, and vision coverage, generous paid time off (PTO) and paid sick days (including mental health days) with additional time off available for recovery from COVID-19. To safeguard the health of our team, IGNITE requires all employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 within six weeks of their start date. We also believe a family and medical leave policy is necessary to close gender gaps in the workplace and ensure people can thrive at work. We work to support our staff members when they need to take time away for a multitude of family or medical reasons.
INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE
We want you to have the ability to build and plan for a strong future. All full-time employees can take advantage of an employee 401K plan. We also offer full-time staff access to ScholarShare 529, a flexible and tax-advantaged savings plan for your child’s higher education. Additionally, we support professional development opportunities from courses, events, and certifications to help you strengthen your expertise.
Meet Our Team
We believe a strong team depends on welcoming diverse thinking, experiences, and identities. We strive to advance equity within our organization and beyond through every aspect of our work and through the makeup of our team.
