Job Description

Purpose of the post

The Strategic Lead – External Funding role was created in September 2024 in response to our business need to grow and diversify our funding portfolio.  HDR UK receives majority funding from our Core Funders, subject to satisfactory performance in formal periodic reviews.   However, in the period since our establishment we have developed increasingly competitive performance at winning additional funding beyond our ‘Core award’ (referred to as ‘non-Core’).   The Strategic Lead – External Funding is a pivotal figure within HDR UK as we seek to build our non-Core performance further still and scale the institute during this next phase of its development.  The role works in close partnership with our distributed research community and prospective funders, building and maintaining the links critical to the delivery of the Director’s research vision and the development of HDR UK at local, national and international levels.
