Grant Writer

Our client exists to accelerate progress towards the SDGs and climate goals. Active now in over 50 countries, they work to progress the transformation of global financial systems so that every investment, business and government spending decision takes into account impact. They now require a Grant Writer to cover a period of maternity leave, and Prospectus is pleased to be supporting the search.

The Grant Writer will cover a longstanding and successful fundraiser to lead on proposal writing to grant-makers globally. Reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, the postholder will conceptualise to complete stage full ownership of proposal development for 25+ $250k-$5m funding opportunities across a variety of funder types and opportunities. This includes individuals, foundations, governments, ODA agencies and corporates. The Writer will coordinate inputs with colleagues across teams and ensure due diligence requirements are fulfilled and deadlines are met.

The selected candidate will have international development experience combined with specific grant and proposal writing to government donor agencies, the EU, and institutional foundations. Ideally partnerships secured would be at the $200k+ level to match the current portfolio and the postholder will ideally have impact investment interest and familiarity.
