WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER
The Public Funding Manager will play an instrumental role within a dynamic team of professionals working together to deliver public funding needed for highly impactful conservation projects around the world that benefit people, nature and climate goals, including across Africa, Latin America, Asia Pacific and the Caribbean.
The Public Funding Manager is primarily responsible for managing the development and submission of high-quality project proposal applications to European public funding agencies that support TNC’s Shared Conservation Agenda programs in Europe and globally. The successful candidate will work with both conservation delivery and policy teams from around the TNC global network to ensure that funding proposals are crafted in a clear and compelling manner, communicate the technical and scientific nature of TNC’s global programs and meet the requirements of European public funders, including for gender equity and social inclusion, financial rigour, and convincing theories of change. Excellent writing, analytical and research skills are essential, as is the ability to collaborate well with diverse teams and deliver through others.
She/he/they will help to develop strategic partnerships with relevant European public funding agencies, conservation organizations, and other partners, to deliver long-lasting results across all TNC’s initiatives, including projects that address climate change, support sustainable food systems, conserve habitats, deliver innovative financing approaches, empower Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, and protect lands and waters.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU
We seek self-motivated, detail-oriented, and highly organized candidates with experience in developing public partnerships, managing public sector funding processes, and working in business development teams.
The successful candidate will serve as a team lead or member for public funding development projects, requiring experience in preparing proposals, including drafting technical texts, budgets, theories of change, and log frames. A solid understanding of budgets related to grants is necessary. Familiarity with the policies and priorities of European public funding agencies, including technical requirements and themes like gender equity and social inclusion, safeguarding, and ODA criteria, is essential.
You will manage or establish tracking tools for proposals, opportunities, deadlines, and project delivery milestones, and advise colleagues on funding opportunities and trends.
You should be able to prioritize multiple projects, meet deadlines, synthesize information, and communicate effectively. Building internal networks and facilitating cross-team collaboration are key parts of the role, as well as engaging with diverse cultures and backgrounds.
This role focuses on UK, France, and EU funding opportunities, with prior experience in these markets advantageous. There may be opportunities to support other European funding initiatives as well.
