You will manage overall budgets, delivery, and reporting on a range of grant-funded programmes and initiatives that sit within the team, most notably the ACE NPO programme and its associated budget (currently £617k p/a). Working closely with the Director of Collections' Strategy, you will report regularly to governance groups. Regionally, you will provide strategic sector support, advocating for the collections, and acting as the key contact point for community partnerships.
