We are looking for a passionate and experienced Proposals and Grants Specialist who is committed to feminist principles and safeguarding, and has a strong understanding of monitoring and evaluation. As a feminist organisation, we are dedicated to working towards the rights of women and girls and promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. We are also committed to becoming an antiracist, decolonised INGO. As a Proposals and Grants Specialist, you will play a vital role in helping us achieve our vision and mission.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about making a difference and has a proven track record in writing successful high value fundraising proposals. You will have experience in securing significant donations from major donors, charitable trusts, and/or corporate donors. Your ability to translate technical programme information into compelling supporter communications for different audiences will be crucial in this role.

As the Proposal Writer and Grant Specialist, your role will be central in securing income from high value donors (worth £100K+ per annum), that fund some of our most critical work. This will involve developing and writing high quality proposals, concept notes and reports in line with our organisational priorities. As part of our internally-focussed Strategic Funding Team you will work closely with colleagues across our federation to ensure we are presenting the highest priority and most strategic work to our donors. This will involve setting up new projects, establishing log frames, monitoring and evaluation frameworks and grant management, reporting schedules, and keeping donor-facing account managers informed on progress. 

In this role, you will have the opportunity to improve team practices, support the design and roll out of templates and training, and embed grant management systems. You will also be responsible for encouraging standardisation  across teams in AAUK, managing requests and communications to colleagues in Federation Member countries, and ensuring donor communications systems and processes are up to date.
