Full job description

DiSSCo UK Senior Grants Operations Manager
Salary: £46,743 per annum.
Band: UKRI Band E.
Hours: Full time or Part time (minimum 0.8 FTE).
Contract Type: 3 years Fixed Term.
Location: Polaris House, Swindon, Wiltshire.

Closing Date: Sunday 28 June 2026.

Employees applying for any opportunity which may mean being away from your substantive role for a temporary period, please refer to the Recruitment Policy and associated guidance for further information in the first instance. If you are made an offer, please ensure you liaise with your line manager and the designated HR team as soon as possible in order that implications of any move are clear and understood, prior to a move taking place.

About the Role

The Distributed System of Scientific Collections UK (DiSSCo UK) is a £155.6 million investment for a national infrastructure programme to digitise 37 million natural science specimens. To deliver this exciting new programme, AHRC, alongside their delivery partner the Natural History Museum (NHM), are developing a DiSSCo UK delivery team to manage the programme on a day-to-day basis. This new team will be based at Swindon (with strong links to London) and will be responsible for managing the contract with the external evaluation supplier, leading on benefits management, engaging with relevant communities, measuring the impacts of the programme, and ensuring that impacts, outputs and outcomes are reflected upon, reported and communicated in a timely and effective manner. Some of the key activities for the team will be supporting grant holders, designing, and delivering future funding opportunities, and capturing programme and project level impacts.

Purpose

The role will oversee the direct awards to the Natural History Museum for delivering the programme and for the digitisation grants awarded to the wider consortium. The role will report into the DiSSCo UK Team Head and will liaise with all members of the team. The role offers opportunities for travel, professional development, and the chance to build knowledge of stakeholder engagement and programme level communications. As this role will involve interaction with grant holders and stakeholders, as well as attendance at events and conferences, the role will involve regular travel, including overnight and international travel.

Your Responsibilities

The Senior Operations Manager will:

Oversee the grants funded through the DiSSCo UK funding calls, being the strategic lead for all funding opportunities.
Support the team head with finance.
Support the Impact and Engagement Manager with complex grant holder queries.
Work collaboratively and effectively with DiSSCo UK colleagues at NHM, adapting and communicating to ensure shared goals are met and staff feel supported.
Manage the DiSSCo UK project risk register, including reporting on risk to the DiSSCo UK Programme Board.
Develop and maintain close working and strategic relationships with colleagues across AHRC and UKRI to align activities and priorities, and to ensure UKRI financial, grant management and recruitment processes are followed.
Be involved in cross-team working with delivery partners NHM, and the Research and Innovation Infrastructure Team on related portfolios.
Work collaboratively with NHM colleagues to support the work of the DiSSCo EU European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).
Support on the delivery of future programme approvals including Gate Reviews.
Line management of the Investment Manager, providing line and task management, and supporting their professional development.
