Are you highly organised, detail-oriented and thrive in a team setting?

This is an opportunity to join a respected, purpose-driven organisation as they seek a Grants Coordinator to provide essential support in managing the earlier stages of their grants cycle. Working within a collaborative and dynamic grants and programmes team, you'll play a central role in coordinating the grant applications phase, supporting applicants and reviewers, alongside ensuring smooth and efficient grant‑making operations.

About the Role

This is a varied and engaging role that combines project coordination, stakeholder management, systems administration and process improvement. As part of a small team focused on grant applications, you'll help manage the end‑to‑end application process, ensuring funding rounds are delivered efficiently and to a high standard.

Working closely with colleagues across programme delivery, operations and finance, you'll coordinate multiple concurrent workflows while maintaining an excellent experience for applicants and external stakeholders.

You will:

• Act as first point of contact for all general and initial grant application enquiries.
• Coordinate end‑to‑end application processes across multiple funding programmes, ensuring timelines, milestones and deadlines are delivered successfully.
• Manage the assessment process, including application reviews, peer review coordination, reviewer communications and decision‑making documentation.
• Oversee grant set‑up activities, due diligence, CRM records, reporting and the production of management information and operational insights.
• Collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders to continuously improve systems, processes, guidance and the transition of successful applications into active funded projects.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys creating order from complexity, improving processes and supporting work that delivers meaningful outcomes.

About You

You may already be working in grants, funding, programme administration, project coordination or operations. Equally, you may bring transferable experience from another fast‑paced environment where organisation, accuracy and stakeholder management are key.

You will bring:

• Experience in an administrative, operational or coordination‑focused role, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines effectively.
• Excellent organisational, planning and communication skills, with confidence building relationships across a range of stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail, accuracy and problem‑solving abilities, alongside a proactive and self‑motivated approach.
• Experience maintaining databases, CRM systems or business information systems, supported by strong IT and data management skills.
• Good numerical ability, ideally including experience working with budgets, financial information or reporting.
• Working with grants, funding programmes or commissioning processes.
• Experience using Salesforce or a similar CRM platform.
• Experience within the charity, research, education or public sectors.

You’ll thrive if you enjoy coordinating complex processes, improving systems and working collaboratively to deliver high‑quality outcomes.
