You will support, manage and track dozens of small projects, responding to quarterly project submissions, following project progress, reporting on project impacts and outputs, and ensuring we support an appropriate diversity of activities in our priority Boroughs across London.

You’ll be the first point of contact for Ranger project submissions, and you’ll work collaboratively with our Community Director and communications team to select, support and showcase projects of substance that demonstrate what’s possible when a community works together to improve connection with urban nature.

You’ll be an experienced project manager, capable of planning ahead, tracking multiple inputs and keeping on top of project progress and reporting. You’ll know when to step in and provide help and advice, and keep everything moving along smoothly.

• Researching and contacting communities who are under represented in our work and ensuring equitable access to the grants programme.
• Working closely with the communications team to secure content and materials for promotion and showcasing of each funded project.
• Liaise with projects funders and support the communications team in submitting proposals for and securing match funding.
• Provide regular updates to our staff team and Ranger community on projects and activities, and overall progress on our programme goals.
• Manage the Ranger funding programme budget and allocation of spending.
• Preparation of half yearly progress reports and final project report for external stakeholders and funders.

You will report to the Community Director and work closely with your colleagues in our staff team and with our wider group of volunteers.

Requirements

We’re looking for an organised, thoughtful and considerate colleague who will help us carefully grow and manage allocation of our available small grant funding ensuring maximum benefit for urban nature and Londoners.

• Experience in an equivalent programme or project management role, or demonstrable experience of transferable skills.
• Demonstrable experience of managing, organising and delivering a similar small grant or multi-part programme.
• An ability to communicate, present to, and coordinate with a wide range of people at all levels of a variety of organisations.
• Excellent oral and written communication in a clear, concise, accessible and effective manner.
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written, is essential.
• Ability to effectively plan and prioritise workload within deadlines, and to set and meet high standards of delivery.
• Demonstrable experience of managing budgets and careful setting of priorities and making trade offs in a small growing team.
