• Oversee due diligence for your caseload, coordinating with external contractors as needed.

• Work with senior colleagues, including policy unit leads, to engage funders on the organisation's work and coordinate communications when navigating multi-stakeholder relationships.

• Support effective grant management and compliance in coordination with the Operations Unit.

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in CLTR's CRM system. 

• Suggest areas for process and systems improvement.

• Actively feed into income forecast projections, monitor progress against forecast, document changes and risks.

• Stay abreast of developments in the extreme risks funding landscape, feeding relevant intelligence into strategic planning.

• Attend relevant events and conferences to represent CLTR, expand our network and raise the profile of the organisation.

What You'll Bring

Essential

• Exceptional project management skills, highly organised and able to manage multiple deadlines across a complex portfolio.

• Strong knowledge of CLTR's areas of policy focus, particularly AI safety and biosecurity.

• Written fluency in theory of change articulation, prioritisation frameworks, explicit reasoning about cost-effectiveness and counterfactual impact, and calibrated communication of uncertainty

• Strong familiarity with extreme risk philanthropy, including its key funders and the norms and expectations of this funding ecosystem.

• Demonstrable experience of managing senior stakeholder relationships.

• Excellent proposal and report writing and editing skills, with the ability to translate complex policy content into clear and compelling donor-facing materials.

• Confidence working with financial information, including grant budgets and financial reports.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with confidence working alongside senior internal and external stakeholders and confidence to “manage upwards”.

• Strong listening and relational intelligence - able to pick up on what funders care about from calls, meetings and informal interactions, and translate this into clear, actionable input to inform proposal development and stewardship strategy.

• A collaborative, low-ego approach, with the ability to build strong relationships across a small, busy team.

• A calm and solution-focused approach under pressure, with flexibility and agility when priorities shift.

• Ability to handle highly sensitive information discreetly and professionally. 

Desirable

• Experience of managing high-net-worth donor relationships.

• Experience of working in a policy, research, or advocacy context.

• Familiarity with CRM systems such as Copper or similar.

What we need now is someone to help us build the infrastructure to match our ambition – reaching and impacting more young people from less-advantaged backgrounds across London, Birmingham and Bristol. 

As our Chief Operating Officer, you will join our Senior Management Team and take clear ownership of Envision's finance, compliance, HR governance, and operational efficiency. This is a newly defined role – created to give the function the senior leadership it needs and to free the CEO to focus on external leadership, fundraising, and strategy.
