Funding and Grants Manager

As Funding and Grants Manager you’ll secure, manage and develop relationships with our funders and partners.  Your remit will include every aspect of the grant, funding and partnership lifecycle from developing new opportunities to reporting on live delivery and evaluating completed work.

Working within a passionate and effective team, you’ll manage a portfolio of our funders, with a focus on corporates,  ensuring key milestones and requirements are captured for each funder, reporting is timely and accurate, and our processes and systems are compliant. 

You’ll play a key role in securing new partnerships and grants with a focus on private sector bids (corporate CSR, trusts and foundations) and with contributions to public sector bids (Department for Education, Combined Authorities). 

You’ll manage the department’s events programme of 3-5 events per year, working closely with corporate partners to deliver highly successful events to engage current and potential funders deeply with our work. 

You’ll work closely with our Head of Grant Management and Funding, as part of the Growth, Data and Operations team. This is an exciting team focusing on innovation and growth, including fundraising, new programmes, partnerships, data processes and research.
