This is a key role within the Directorate at a central level, and you will be expected to develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of funders' operational and financial reporting procedures.

The Directorate is responsible for the management and delivery of the Research and Knowledge Exchange strategy.

The University's Research Centres make an impact on the world around us, and we support their research funding and the wider research environment such as impact and public engagement activities, business partnerships and collaborations across the sector and beyond.


About you:


Ideally you will have a good understanding of the UK research funding landscape and knowledge of the operational activities that support delivery of successful projects.
