About the role
The Funding Coordinator Lead will work closely with the festival’s core team to help structure, track, and progress funding and sponsorship opportunities.

- Remote, flexible working, with regular check-ins
Should the volunteer stay on through the full festival, expenses cover:
- Reimbursement for travel costs within the London area
- Lunch expenses
- Free access to screenings and the awards ceremony
Who this role is suited for
- Someone with an interest or background in arts funding, sponsorship, partnerships, or fundraising
- Strong organisational and communication skills
- Comfortable working independently while staying aligned with a wider team
- Passionate about supporting independent film and creative communities
Important note on commitment: While this is a volunteer role, consistency and follow-through are essential. Funding and sponsorship relationships rely on trust, clarity, and professionalism, and we are looking for someone who can commit to seeing conversations through properly.

We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.
At the heart of our new strategy is the recognition that advances in health often come from unexpected sources, and that curiosity-driven discovery research is vital to understanding how life works.
