The posting

About The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Grants Manager/Specialist to work on VendueTech’s grant funding function. Grants are a meaningful part of how we fund our growth - we’re active across programmes including Eurostars and Digit for Bridge, and activity in this area is increasing.

This is a dedicated, standalone role. Reporting directly to our COO, you’ll act as a true number two on all grant-related work: identifying opportunities, shaping and submitting applications, and owning compliance and reporting through the full award lifecycle.

You’ll need to understand how VendueTech’s R&D story maps to fundable proposals, and work closely with leadership to ensure we’re consistently positioned to win the funding that accelerates our roadmap.

Key Responsibilities

Opportunity Identification & Pipeline

  • Monitor and evaluate grant funding opportunities relevant to VendueTech’s R&D and commercial activities, including EU programmes, national schemes, and bilateral instruments
  • Maintain a live grants pipeline: deadlines, eligibility windows, funding amounts, and strategic fit
  • Brief leadership on new opportunities and make clear recommendations on where to invest application effort

Application Development & Submission

  • Lead end-to-end development of grant applications - from narrative structuring and work package design to budget preparation and final submission
  • Translate VendueTech’s technical and commercial work into compelling, fundable proposals tailored to each programme’s criteria
  • Manage agency relationships, including briefing, coordinating inputs, oversee timeline and quality.
  • Coordinate internally to gather inputs from technical, finance, and leadership teams without creating bottlenecks
  • Manage drafting and submission directly, adhering to submission timelines with precision

Compliance & Post-Award Management

  • Own compliance obligations across active awards: reporting schedules, milestone tracking, spend eligibility, and auditor-ready documentation
  • Coordinate with finance and operations to ensure grant expenditure is correctly attributed and evidenced
  • Manage relationships with funding bodies and programme managers throughout the award period

Strategy & Stakeholder Communication

  • Work closely with our COO to develop VendueTech’s grants strategy: which programmes to pursue, how to position the company, and how to build track record over time
  • Produce clear, concise updates for leadership on grant status, upcoming submissions, and awarded funds
  • Identify and engage consortium partners or external experts where programmes require collaborative applications

Vendor & Contract Risk Management

  • Review commercial terms of any external grant consultant or agency agreement; fee structures, success-fee triggers, withdrawal/termination penalties, cost-eligibility rules, and flag risk to the COO before signing
  • Own the relationship with any engaged agency for the duration of the engagement, ensuring their deliverables meet VendueTech's bar and their advisory scope doesn't create gaps in our own compliance obligations

What You’ll Bring

  • 3–7 years of grants management experience with a demonstrable track record of successful applications to competitive programmes
  • Hands-on experience with EU or European funding instruments - Eurostars, Horizon, Interreg, or similar; familiarity with Digit for Bridge is a strong plus
  • Strong application writing skills: you can take complex technical and R&D work and make it compelling on paper
  • Rigorous attention to deadlines, compliance requirements, and documentation and post-award discipline is as important to you as winning the application
  • Comfortable working directly with senior leadership and managing upwards with confidence
  • Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity, you build structure where none exists and don’t wait to be told what to prioritise
  • Experience in or alongside early-stage, R&D-intensive companies is a strong advantage
  • Fluency in English, both written and spoken is essential

Why Join Us?

  • Equity-driven: Participate in VendueTech Ltd ESOP Trust and become a direct owner in our company’s future success through 100% equity compensation.
  • High Impact: A foundational role with real ownership - you’re building the grants function from the ground up with direct access to leadership and influence over which funding we pursue
  • Significant Growth Potential: Be part of a journey working on exciting problems at an early-stage startup, with substantial opportunities for learning and long-term value creation
  • Flexibility: Enjoy the flexibility of a remote-first schedule that supports work-life balance

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
