3 weeks ago

Alton, United Kingdom WELLCOME TRUST Full time


Salary:
£45,877.00

Closing date: Sunday 12 May 2024

Contract type: Permanent

The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.

We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.

These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won't be solved by science alone.

We are looking for a Funding Manager at a senior level to join our team.

Where in Wellcome will I be working?

Research Funding is responsible for the operational management, governance, and support of all Wellcome's grant funding activities.

This role sits within the Directed Funding and Planning section which is in Research Funding. The Directed Funding & Planning team are responsible for the coordinated central planning and implementation of Directed Funding at Wellcome, specifically Discretionary Awards, Funding Calls and their associated Advisory Committees. We provide dedicated support to Wellcome's Strategic Programmes, working collaboratively with Legal and Finance, to help operationalise their Directed Funding objectives. We manage and deliver the end-to-end grant application, review and award processes for applications in Mental Health, Climate & Health, and Infectious Diseases in particular. We also encompass a team that manages the logistics (fee payments, accommodation, travel, catering, etc.) for all of Wellcome's Advisory Committees.

You will be in the Directed Funding team within Research Funding reporting to the Associate Director of Directed Funding & Planning.

What will I be doing?

As a senior level Funding Manager, you will provide excellent business partnership and grant funding expertise to the Strategic Programme of Infectious Diseases in particular, although you may also work with Mental Health and Climate & Health teams as needed. You will work collaboratively across the organisation with other teams like Legal and Finance, to enable the funding teams operationalise their strategic funding objectives. With your excellent stakeholder management skills and grant funding expertise, you will ensure operational excellence and consistency of practice towards helping Wellcome achieve its mission.

In this role you will:
Implement the funding objectives of Wellcome's Strategic Programmes, by working collaboratively with teams across the organisation, and providing guidance and support on best practice and grant management.
Manage a portfolio of Directed Funding applications throughout the grant life cycle, including performing eligibility checks, due diligence, expert review, providing written feedback, making awards and managing queries on awarded grants.
Lead management of Funding Calls, acting as Committee Manager and co-ordinating associated activity within the team.
Manage other funding initiatives, setting timelines and appropriate working processes to ensure co-ordination and timely delivery.
Provide business partner support to the Strategic Programmes and external stakeholders, advising on best practice around grant assessment, grant management processes and funding policies.
Contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture across the organisation, collaborating across departments.

Is this job for me?

We are looking for someone who is educated to at least degree level in a relevant science, medical humanities, social science, or public health subject and who has the following skills:
Outstanding stakeholder management skills - the ability to quickly build and maintain the trust of internal and external stakeholders at all levels of seniority.
You must also have excellent knowledge of grant funding and management processes and experience of the academic research environment.
Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to forward plan, prioritise and manage large workloads and work to deadlines.
The ability to identify key considerations for a given issue, convene a group if necessary to investigate problems, determine how issues should be weighted and produce well-argued recommendations for a senior audience.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Strong IT skills and analytical thinking skills.

For the recruitment of this role we are using Workday's anonymised application functionality.

To apply please upload your CV and complete our short application. Please ensure that when you are applying you complete all sections on the application form, we will not be able to accept any applications that are incomplete.
