- Strong written communication skills — able to create compelling cases for support
- Ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and meet deadlines
- A proactive, resourceful approach — you don’t wait to be told what to do
- Comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on delivery
What We Offer

-
Track and communicate proposal and reporting timelines, ensuring clarity around deadlines and required inputs.
-
Conduct research on donors and prospects and help to build a pipeline of donors interested in funding work in the extreme risks space, working with senior stakeholders to identify relationship entry points and brief policy units to prepare for meetings.
-
Oversee due diligence for your caseload, coordinating with external contractors as needed.
-
Work with senior colleagues, including policy unit leads, to engage funders on the organisation's work and coordinate communications when navigating multi-stakeholder relationships.
-
Support effective grant management and compliance in coordination with the Operations Unit.
-
Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in CLTR's CRM system.
-
Suggest areas for process and systems improvement.
-
Actively feed into income forecast projections, monitor progress against forecast, document changes and risks.
-
Stay abreast of developments in the extreme risks funding landscape, feeding relevant intelligence into strategic planning.
-
Attend relevant events and conferences to represent CLTR, expand our network and raise the profile of the organisation.
What You'll Bring
Essential
-
Exceptional project management skills, highly organised and able to manage multiple deadlines across a complex portfolio.
-
Strong knowledge of CLTR's areas of policy focus, particularly AI safety and biosecurity.

-
Strong listening and relational intelligence - able to pick up on what funders care about from calls, meetings and informal interactions, and translate this into clear, actionable input to inform proposal development and stewardship strategy.
-
A collaborative, low-ego approach, with the ability to build strong relationships across a small, busy team.
-
A calm and solution-focused approach under pressure, with flexibility and agility when priorities shift.
-
Ability to handle highly sensitive information discreetly and professionally.

Experience of managing high-net-worth donor relationships.

Our work centres on strengthening the effectiveness, fairness and impact of funding systems by championing practice rooted in equity, trust and collaboration. We work across the funding ecosystem, with partners in the public, private and third sectors, to support organisations to learn together, share insight and develop approaches that lead to stronger outcomes for communities. We bring together a growing family of initiatives and organisations working across the funding landscape.
Across our work, Funders Together connects funders, supports collaborative funding initiatives, develops insights informed by shared data, and creates space for mutual learning and joint action.

They will enjoy working in a dynamic environment where priorities evolve and where good systems and coordination help ensure activity is delivered effectively.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working as part of a small and agile team, taking initiative in their work and contributing to continuous improvement in how we design and deliver learning across Funders Together.
A strong commitment to collaboration, equity, diversity and systemic change is essential, alongside a shared belief in the value of diverse lived experience in strengthening our work and impact.
