Deadline: August 30th, 2026
What We Are Looking For
The Fund Raising Division is responsible for identifying, developing and securing competitive research funding from European and international programmes (Horizon Europe, bilateral cooperation programmes, and others), as well as managing relationships with institutional partners and co-funders.
In response to the growing volume and complexity of research proposals and project agreements in our pipeline, we are seeking an Research Grants & Contract Management Officer to strengthen our pre-award and negotiation capacity.

The role serves as the operational bridge between the Fundraising Office (responsible for proposal development), the Legal Office (responsible for clause validation), and the Project Managers (who take over post-award),
ensuring continuity of knowledge and contractual clarity across the full project lifecycle.
What We Offer:
- The opportunity to join a dynamic and international research environment, with exposure to frontier research funding programmes
- Direct involvement in a broad portfolio of European and international research and innovation projects.
- Opportunities for professional development and training in research funding, project management, and contract management.
- Continuous professional development through participation in national and international research management networks (e.g. EARMA and APRE).
- A newly created role, offering the opportunity to shape processes, tools, and best practices from the ground up.
- A competitive compensation package, commensurate with qualifications and experience. Flexible working arrangements, in line with the Foundation's policies
