The team is looking for passionate individuals ready to lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary teams during the preparation of commercial contracts and large (£10m+) grants. You will have excellent communication skills and the proven ability to forge strong relationships with partners and colleagues in multiple locations. You will bring experience in institutional funding and a very good knowledge of our key donors’ requirements (FCDO). Candidates able to work in French are particularly encouraged to apply.
