The Foundation:
Our client is looking to recruit a Grant Manager (Arts, Culture and Heritage) to manage and further develop a portfolio of grants for their Arts, Culture and Heritage Programme.

The foundations’ approach to grant-making is distinctive, in that they focus on capacity building to strengthen the impact, effectiveness and/or financial sustainability of non-profit organisations so they can thrive and fulfil their mission and goals.

This is an exciting time to be joining the foundations as they look to grow and strengthen their grants portfolio in the UK and internationally.

This role is based in London (Cannon Street) and the post-holder will need to be in the office at least 2-3 days per week, and available to be in the office on additional days /travel for site visits, as required.

The foundations have evolved significantly in recent years, and this is an exciting time to join the team.

The Person:
The successful candidate will have an in-depth knowledge of the UK arts, culture and heritage sectors' funding ecology, policy environments and cultural, social and economic impact. They will also ideally have a combination of significant experience of grant-making alongside experience of working within arts, culture and heritage organisations. Candidates will also have a keen interest and knowledge in the interconnections between arts, culture and heritage and environmental conservation, health and wellbeing and/or children and young people.

Given the foundations’ focus on strengthening the capacity of non-profit organisations, and in particular their financial sustainability/resilience, the ideal candidate will also have the necessary analytical skills and knowledge to assess and analyse organisations across factors such as leadership and governance, impact, financial health, business and strategic planning etc. They will also be adept at exploring how proposed capacity building projects will strengthen organisations under consideration for receiving funding.

In addition to excellent analytical skills, the successful candidate will have strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to understand and articulate complex information clearly and concisely.  Attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities will be key to success in this role.  Finally, you will have a high degree of humility and a collaborative style and will be able to pro-actively manage a diverse workload on your own initiative.
