About the Youth Endowment Fund

We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.

In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by funding great initiatives, finding what works and working for change - scaling and spreading the practices that make a difference.

One of the most important things we do is ensure that our funding and commissioning processes run smoothly and deliver maximum impact. We manage significant grants and complex commissioning arrangements that support projects designed to make a lasting difference.

Your role would be to ensure our funding and commissioning processes run efficiently, compliantly and strategically. You’ll lead improvements in systems, governance and risk management, act as the organisation’s Salesforce and grant management expert, and provide strong leadership to the team which will enable confident decisions and maximising impact. A detailed list of your key responsibilities on how you’ll do this is given below:

• Grant management and system optimisation:
• Manage the organisation’s grant management system (Salesforce), ensuring functionality, accuracy and integrity of data.
• Configure and update forms, fields and workflows to support new applications and evolving business needs.
• Develop and deliver custom reports and dashboard for internal teams to enable effective monitoring and decision-making.
• Act as the primary liaison for system enhancements, ensuring continuous improvement, and day-to-day troubleshooting.
• Commissioning and procurement:
• Support the Assistant Director of Finance and Operations in delivering improvements to commissioning and procurement processes across the Programmes, Evaluation, Change and Evidence directorates.
• Ensure commissioning activities align with organisational priorities and compliance requirements.
• When required, provide support and additional resource to the Delivery Operations Manager on the execution of agreements for all teams.
• Risk management and compliance:
• Lead on negotiating terms and conditions with grantees, evaluators and researchers, escalating complex issues where necessary.
