ABOUT THE ROLE
Are you passionate about supporting world-class research? We’re looking for a proactive and knowledgeable Pre-Award Development Officer to join our dynamic Grants and Contracts Team at Northumbria University.
In this pivotal role, you’ll be the go-to expert for researchers across a defined portfolio, guiding them through the development and submission of high-quality research funding proposals. You’ll provide expert advice on funder requirements, ensure compliance with internal and external policies, and collaborate with academic and professional services colleagues to deliver a seamless pre-award service.
You’ll also lead on costing proposals, managing complex bid submissions, and supporting the onboarding of grant transfers. With opportunities to contribute to training, internal process improvements, and line management of Pre-Award Coordinators, this is a varied and rewarding role at the heart of research development operations.
