**About the roles**

There are four ESRC Portfolio Officer roles and 3 Grants Delivery Officer roles available across the following teams:

- Data and Infrastructure
- Skills and Methods
- Public Policy and Engagement
- International Strategy
- Grants Delivery

The Data and Infrastructure team leads the development, commissioning, and investment management for the ESRC’s data collections (such as Understanding Society and the birth cohort studies) and data services (including the UK Data Service). The Programme provides strategic direction for investments and facilitates collaboration and knowledge exchange through engagement with the investment teams and other stakeholders. The Programme is also responsible for the monitoring and assurance of the investments to ensure that the data collections are of high quality and meet the needs of the social science research community, and to ensure that the data services and facilities enable safe and ethical use of data in research and innovation.

The Skills and Methods team is responsible for delivering ESRC’s objective to develop and maintain the long-term health of a world class UK social science research base. This is achieved through the investment in doctoral training through our Doctoral Training Network and Doctoral Training Partnerships; support for early career researchers, including the delivery of our Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme; research leadership development; and methodological innovation and training.

The Public Policy and Engagement team that leads ESRC’s efforts to connect the academic community and research organisations with policy makers and other users of research evidence across the public policy and third sector landscape. The team works in close collaboration with other teams across ESRC and UKRI, as well as with a wide range of external stakeholders and other research funders, to develop and deliver a high-profile portfolio of programmes and activities that connect the academic community with users of research evidence.

The International Strategy team plays a key leadership role within the social sciences, driving forward collaboration with a wide range of international partners and through a number of joint schemes on some of the most challenging global issues.

The Grants Delivery Team (GDT) is a centre of expertise within ESRC responsible for the delivery of funding opportunities and commissioning of research and other activities in the social sciences. Core GDT activity includes the end-to-end processing of grant proposals including managing high quality peer review. GDT has a critical role in contributing to ESRC’s shared objectives to create a world-leading portfolio of research, data and training. Working in partnership with all teams across ESRC, GDT aims to set high standards for delivering efficient and innovative solutions to commissioning activities. The team also works more widely within UKRI, for example contributing to development of the UKRI Funding Service and sharing knowledge with colleagues in other Research Councils to develop and promote good working practices.

Portfolio officer duties:
As a Portfolio Officer, you will support the ESRC to engage with a wide range of academic and broader stakeholder communities to catalyse ideas, drive forward their development and delivery, and ensure that outputs, outcomes and impact are captured and optimised. You will work closely with colleagues to support a variety of scoping, prioritisation and commissioning activities, including mapping existing investments and their impact.

You will undertake a diverse range of activities including supporting the management and monitoring of key investments, meeting organisation and support, undertaking commissioning of new and existing investments, responding to queries, organising review panels and engaging with key investments and other research funders. You will provide this support across portfolio areas within a hard-working, dynamic team, supporting everyday team functions and owning discrete areas of work that you drive forward.

Grants Delivery Officer duties:
As a Grants Delivery Officer (GDO) within GDT, you will engage with academics at the forefront of economic and social science research, facilitating assessment of high-quality grant proposals. You will ensure that the end-to-end processing of grants is efficiently, accurately and on time. You will also be expected to act as a source of advice on ESRC’s policies and processes, supporting the effective deployment of research and innovation funding. You will be required to build and manage strong relationships with colleagues acro
