Job description

Hybrid/London (50% office attendance)

We are seeking a Grants Manager to join the Research Talent, Policy and Programmes Team and take oversight for the delivery of a sub-set of the Academy’s UK and international grants portfolio to support our strategy, and – notably - our strategic priority to support the next generation of researchers to reach their full potential.

Working in a small team gives you the opportunity to develop line management skills, set and manage your budgets and be directly involved in securing funding for our schemes. You will keep abreast of developments in UK medical research funding policies and the wider career policy context to ensure that the Academy's grants schemes remain innovative, attractive and fit for purpose.

What you will be doing

Scheme Delivery

  • Managing a subset of our portfolio of UK and/or international grant schemes, maintaining and developing robust operational processes in accordance with the high standards of the Academy.
  • Drafting funding proposals, in liaison with the Head of Grant Schemes, for existing and potential new schemes.
  • Developing and implementing new grants schemes and all associated processes and documentation, as required.
  • Producing high-quality reports, briefing and updates for both an internal and external audience. This includes the preparation of papers for Council, Officers and other Academy meetings, as required.
  • Being mindful of national and international developments in grant-making and exploring how the Academy’s schemes align with other emerging initiatives.
  • Working with senior management to ensure the Academy implements best practice.
  • Supporting with the monitoring of grant progress.

Line Management

  • Line managing the Senior Grants Officer and overseeing their development.
  • Supporting the Senior Grants Officer to administer their portfolio of grants, to include dealing with enquiries; the promotion of schemes; eligibility checking of applications; the organisation of peer review; the preparation of committee papers; attendance at panel meetings; providing reports and financial information; the awarding of the grants and their continued management; and providing feedback to both successful and unsuccessful applicants.
  • Project managing and supporting other Senior Grants Officers.

Budgeting

  • Developing and managing the budgets for a portfolio of grant schemes and/or activities, in line with internal management systems, to include the regular forecasting and monitoring of expenditure.
  • Working closely with the Finance Department.

Stakeholder Engagement and Partnership Development

  • Establishing contacts and liaising with a range of stakeholders, including Higher Education Institutions, funding agencies, delivery partners, other professional bodies and early research leaders, in order to ensure the Academy offer is reflective of the current landscape and that we are responsive to continued developments.
  • Liaising with the Academy’s Communications and Policy teams to ensure the grant schemes relate to the Academy’s wider strategy and to raise the profile of our schemes.
  • Working across the organisation, with individuals from different departments and at varying levels of seniority.

Other Responsibilities

  • Developing and overseeing meetings and celebrations for award holders, including regular inductions, training workshops and scientific meetings.
  • Undertaking any other ad-hoc duties that can be reasonably expected of this post.

What you’ll bring to the role

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills (verbal and written).
  • A confident and friendly team player/collaborator (within and across teams), who is comfortable dealing with individuals at a senior level.
  • An enthusiasm (and ideally experience) for line management and helping others to develop.
  • Experience and understanding of the medical research/academic environment.
  • An interest in biomedical and health research.
  • High level numeracy.
  • Excellent IT skills.
  • The ability to think analytically.
  • A demonstrable ability to effectively build and maintain partnerships/networks.
  • Excellent organisational skills.
  • The ability to travel from time-to-time - either in the UK or overseas.

Benefits

We provide our staff with a comprehensive benefits package, including:

  • Generous pension scheme with flexible contributions – we contribute between 8% - 13% of your gross salary (with employee contributions of 3% - 8%).
  • Life assurance at three times your salary.
  • Hybrid and agile working. 50% office attendance.
  • 26 days annual leave, plus Christmas closure days and bank holidays.
  • Buying and selling leave.
  • Family-friendly policies including enhanced maternity and paternity leave (subject to a qualifying period).
  • Complimentary subscriptions to Headspace and Classpass to support your physical and mental wellbeing.
  • Support through tailored learning and development.
  • A range of enhanced benefits become available once you’ve completed your probation period.
