To date, they have raised over £100m for community-based organisations, deploying more than £80m in grants and building up an endowment of £20m. The charity holds a unique position in the Capital; they collaborate across public, private (individual) and corporate donors to raise funds to support London's grassroots organisations. They support donors to achieve their philanthropic aims whilst meeting the needs of London's communities. This dual purpose makes LCF unique as a grant maker in London. Following the launch of a new strategy in April of this year, the ambition is to grow LCF's reputation as a leading vehicle for London's giving.

The Role

Reporting into the Director of Grants and Impact, The Head of Grant Operations roles support the delivery of quality efficient and effective operations to ensure delivery of LCF's objectives.

The Person

Your experience of managing complex external relationships will be important as will your financial literacy, risk and project management skills.
