Job description

Grants Project Manager at Riverlane, Cambridge, UK (remote). A mid-level full time position in the PMO team, listed under research.

Cambridge, UK | Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid Salary: £60,000 to £72,000 DOE + Bonus + Equity About us Riverlane's mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry's defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world's leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We're making remarkable progress and growing fast. About the role Riverlane delivers a growing portfolio of collaborative R&D projects funded by Innovate UK and other public bodies, working alongside partners across industry, academia, and national institutions. Much of this will be driven by Proqure: Scaling UK Quantum Computing, Innovate UK's flagship programme for UK quantum computing, with projects starting autumn 2026. You will own delivery of five to ten of these projects in parallel, from grant award through to final reporting, as an individual contributor with no direct reports. This is not an administrative coordination role. You will write the quarterly technical reports yourself, sit close to the science and engineering teams, and be trusted to represent their work accurately to funders, including regular travel to partner sites and national laboratories such as Oxford. It suits someone with sound judgement on competing deadlines, a low ego working style that earns trust with technical teams, and the range to communicate confidently from engineers through to senior leadership.
