Full job description

On the 1 August 2026, The University of Greenwich and the University of Kent formed a pioneering new multi-university group called London and South- East (LASE) University Group. Should you join us, you will be employed by LASE but will work as part of the University of Kent academic division, contributing to its distinct strengths, community and identity while also being part of a wider group that brings together the scale, resilience and shared ambition of both universities. Through LASE we aim to deliver outstanding education, impactful research, and meaningful regional and global impact.

Are you an experienced research and innovation professional who can develop funding opportunities, inspire collaboration and help turn ambitious ideas into successful outcomes?

As Funding and Award Manager, you will support the University’s research, innovation and business development ambitions. Working with academic leaders and colleagues across BDRI, you will help grow research and innovation income, strengthen funding success and lead a team providing high-quality pre- and post-award support.

As Funding and Award Manager you can expect to be involved in:

Providing professional leadership and governance of research and innovation activities.
Identifying funding opportunities and providing expert advice and support for research and innovation funding proposals.
Managing pre- and post-award processes to support University and School Research and Innovation strategies and targets.
Leading and managing a BDRI Funding and Award team to deliver consistent, high-quality support.

What will you bring to the role?

Knowledge of the higher education sector and the key challenges facing research and innovation in an HE environment, specifically the need for Universities to diversity their activity and income streams.
A proven track record of income generation and establishing new partnerships.
Excellent negotiation, influencing and communication skills, with the ability to inspire collaborative working.
Experience of successfully managing and developing motivated, high-performing teams.

As a member of our team, you can expect a friendly, open and collaborative working environment and support in your development and wellbeing. You'll enjoy a range of great staff benefits including:

Hybrid working options allowing a flexible blend of office and home working (to be agreed in line with business needs) (remove this bullet for ACADEMIC roles)
43 days' leave per year (personal leave, bank holidays and additional days allocated for the Christmas period, pro rata for part-time staff)
Excellent pension scheme with generous employer contributions
Corporate employee-funded healthcare plan, in partnership with Benenden Health
