Job Description:

Battersea's Global Programmes Department is looking for a Grants and Programmes Manager to manage the delivery of a portfolio of work within the Grants and Programmes function. This is an exciting time for Battersea as we expand our work to impact more dogs and cats. Over the coming five years, it is planned that the size and complexity of grant-making will grow, including the establishment of several multi-year programmes in the UK and abroad.

This is a senior grant-making role within the Grants and Programmes team in the Global Programmes Directorate, requiring excellent experience of people management, strategic leadership, and good grant-making practice.

The successful postholder should be comfortable making proposals, suggesting alternative approaches and solutions, supporting the contributions of others, and advancing the collective interests of a team. They should also be comfortable working with considerable scope and complexity, nurturing relationships with colleagues and external partners as an integral element of the role. The successful postholder should be able to develop and maintain effective relationships with stakeholders, pose and field questions of considerable complexity and sensitivity, and use discretion in carrying out a constructive and effective dialogue. They will be comfortable with proposing ideas, engaging in productive debate, supporting the contributions of others, and in other ways advancing Battersea’s strategic interests.
