About us
City Bridge Foundation is a 900-year-old charity that owns and maintains five of London’s Thames bridges, including Tower Bridge. Since 1995, we have awarded over £840 million to charitable organisations working to tackle inequality and injustice across London. We bridge London, we connect communities.
The role
These roles will play a critical role in managing a portfolio of grants to a high standard, ensuring that funded organisations receive excellent levels of support and guidance. Working as part of a wider Funding Team, the roles will support the ongoing development of CBF’s new funding policy, Standing with Londoners.
The post holders will lead on the management of more complex funding relationships, taking responsibility to recommend variations as required and working as part of a team to develop proposals for the effective and equitable oversight of a large grant portfolio.
Experience of mental health funding is desirable, but not essential for candidates to the role.
The Funding Managers will provide valuable additional capacity during the assessment of application rounds for new programmes alongside their portfolio management work. They will work with colleagues to identify ways to ensure the full range of CBF’s services can support portfolio grantees and aid the charity’s approach to impact and learning.
About you
In terms of experience, you’ll have an excellent knowledge of the voluntary sector, experience in assessing, managing, monitoring and evaluating grants. You should also have experience working collaboratively in small teams, along with data input and data management within Customer Relationship Management databases.
You’ll also have sound written, verbal communication skills, excellent IT literacy and strong interpersonal skills. An effective analytical problem-solver, you’ll be able to manage competing deadlines without losing the quality of your work. You should have a good understanding of charity accounting, and grant portfolio management.
We are a values-based and welcomes applications from all sectors and communities. Equity, diversity and inclusion is as important in our staff and governance as it is in our work. We support flexible working and job-shares. We are a Disability Confident employer and positively welcome applications from disabled people.
