The fundraising team at BAC is small but works across all aspects of the organisation. As Grants Manager, you will focus on raising crucial funds from trusts and foundations, collaborating with colleagues from all different teams. You will identify prospective supporters and fundraising opportunities, nurture existing relationships, and champion BAC’s bold artistic work, our vital local community projects and programmes with young people.

At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people.

At the IET you’ll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow – professionally and personally – in ways you never thought possible.

We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.

As the PMO Manager, you’ll play a central role in shaping how the IET delivers projects and programmes that drive our strategic ambitions. Reporting to the Transformation Manager, you’ll lead our Project Management Office, championing consistent standards, strong governance, and high-quality delivery across our full project portfolio.

This is a role where strategy meets hands-on impact.

You’ll be an influential and supportive leader; someone who can bring out the best in project managers, build strong relationships across departments, and engage senior stakeholders with credible insight and clear reporting. You’ll be comfortable overseeing multiple priorities, making informed decisions, and stepping in to personally lead key projects when required.

If you’re someone who thrives on improving processes, strengthening delivery capability, championing high standards, and supporting teams to achieve successful outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
