Expanding Our Reach To Spanish-Speaking Communities

WorkMoney is currently looking to expand our program and offerings to Spanish speaking communities in the Southwest. Over the past year, we have been helping our members get access to government benefit programs and tax credits using a personalized navigation approach. We help people not only understand the programs and tax credits available to them, but also provide help accessing these benefits through education and outreach campaigns, automated support tools (eligibility calculators, chatbots) and personalized human support (live chat, phone support). Over the past few months, we've already helped tens of thousands of WorkMoney members enroll in new and existing federal and state programs. To date, however, our programming has only been in English. We are excited to be taking the step now to broaden our reach to Spanish-speaking populations.

Proposed Scope of Work

We are looking for a consultant to supercharge our Spanish program in its infancy. The consultant will help us find the right mix of staff and consultants to interpret and culturally adapt our current program to appeal to a Spanish-speaking audience and ultimately to build a standalone program to recruit and engage millions of Spanish-speaking families. The ideal candidate will have prior experience running large-scale, national programs at a membership organization with Spanish-speaking members.

  • Work in partnership with the Membership Acquisition team to attract Spanish-speaking members through digital ads
  • Work in partnership with the Engagement team to develop and pilot test Spanish-language content for text, email and social media engagement
  • Work in partnership with our team to translate and launch an integrated Spanish language version of our flagship program that connects people to government benefits and tax credits
  • Support Spanish language partnerships across a wide range of geographies with a focus on the Southwest

Upon review of the cover letter and resume materials, we will invite Consulting Proposals from parties we’d like to move forward with. The requirements for the fuller Consulting Proposal are below.

  • Consulting proposal for 6 month term that includes:
    • Summary of general approach and process for standing up a Spanish language program
