About the role
We are an independent charitable funder working to tackle financial problems and improve living standards for people living on low-to-middle incomes in the UK. We aim to achieve this by funding a range of strategic work with the potential to create real and lasting change, working collaboratively with a number of partners and key stakeholders. We support research, policy work and campaigning activities and fund a range of universities, think tanks and not-for-profit organisations. We also commission some work and aim to grow this.
Our funding programmes relate to personal and household finances and cover issues such as wages, pensions, savings, social security, borrowing, taxation, debt, the cost of living and consumer spending. This year we plan to award grants of around £3 million and expect this to grow in future years.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, committed and experienced individual who will work closely with the Head of Policy & Research and Chief Executive in the development and management of our funding programmes. This will include identifying and managing a portfolio of funded projects, seeking out and developing strategic initiatives in areas where we could make a difference, and undertaking wider partnership and influencing work with key stakeholders. The successful candidate will have a willingness to work collaboratively and be passionate about our work.
