- Lead grant reporting up to submission, coordinating with BNF International and Indonesia team members as necessary to acquire relevant data / coordinate report writing.
- Communicate with grant-giving organisations as required.

**What will you bring?**
- Experience and demonstrable success in grant-writing and reporting, ideally within the environmental conservation sector.
- Ability to work to deadlines and confidence working within a small team to work together on preparing, reviewing, editing and submitting proposals and reports; and ability to quickly grasp the nature of a project and its requirements.
- A friendly and personable nature, with attention to detail and flexibility to accommodate changing demands at short notice.
- Ideally, a passion for conservation and the natural world

**Benefits**
- Option to enrol in our workplace pension with employer contribution equivalent to 3% of gross monthly salary
- 21 days paid leave plus bank holidays
- Flexibility for remote working
- All expenses paid for travel within UK and Europe and periodic visits to Indonesia
- Personal development opportunities.

**How to Apply**

Interviews are expected to be conducted during April, with a start date as soon as possible thereafter. Informal inquiries are welcome.
