8 Grant manager jobs in Charing Cross, Greater London

The Leathersellers’ Company is one of the City of London’s oldest Livery Companies, with a proud history of supporting community, education and craft since the fifteenth century. Through the Leathersellers’ Foundation, we channel this enduring legacy into modern, impactful philanthropy – giving around £4 million each year to charities, individuals and education across the UK. Our guiding principles of compassion, endeavour and independence shape our approach to best practice in philanthropy and the way we work together as a team.

We’re now looking for a Grants Manager (Education and Leather) to join our small, collaborative team and play a key role in delivering our funding programmes. You’ll help shape and manage our giving across three key areas – Charity, Education and Leather – from assessing applications and managing relationships with grantees, to leading our Education and Leather Grants programmes. Every day, your work will directly help individuals and educationalists tackling some of society’s toughest challenges, from supporting young people to fostering opportunity and social mobility through education.

We’re seeking someone who brings experience of grant-making or grant fundraising, a good understanding of the charity sector, and a genuine enthusiasm for building meaningful relationships with the organisations and individuals we support. You’ll thrive in a dynamic and collaborative environment, balancing strategic thinking and relationship building with hands-on agile delivery. You will enjoy being part of a small team where everyone’s contribution makes a visible difference.

If you’re inspired by thoughtful, impactful philanthropy and want to join an organisation that combines deep tradition with a modern, human approach to giving, we’d love to hear from you.
