About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated Global Grants Analyst to build and own our end-to-end public funding strategy across regions. This role will identify, qualify, and secure non-dilutive funding and incentives worldwide to support the company’s growth, innovation, sustainability, digital transformation, and workforce development agendas.

You will be the subject-matter expert on global grant landscapes, partnering with senior stakeholders to shape funding roadmaps, orchestrate high-quality submissions, and ensure post-award compliance and reporting. This is a hands-on, high-impact role suited to someone who can move seamlessly from market scanning and stakeholder engagement to bid leadership and award delivery.

What you’ll do

• You will develop and execute a global grants pipeline that aligns to corporate priorities, including innovation and R&D, payments and FX technology, AI and data, cybersecurity, sustainability and green transition, training and skills, market expansion, and trade enablement.

• You will systematically map national, supranational, and regional schemes (e.g., UK, EU, US federal/state, Canada, LATAM, APAC, Middle East, Africa), as well as sector-specific programmes relevant to fintech and financial services.

• You will lead qualification, bid strategy, consortium management where applicable, and full-lifecycle application delivery.

• You will coordinate cross-functional inputs from Product, Engineering, Finance, Compliance, Legal, ESG, and People teams, ensuring proposals are commercially coherent, technically robust, and compliant with funder requirements.

• You will steward relationships with funding bodies, innovation agencies, development banks, export credit agencies, and regional investment authorities, while maintaining a rigorous governance framework for due diligence, eligibility, co-funding, state-aid/subsidy-control, and post-award obligations.

• You will build metrics, dashboards, and periodic executive updates that track pipeline, success rates, funds awarded, and business impact, and embed best-practice processes that scale across regions.

Key Responsibilities:

• You will develop the global grant and incentives strategy and annual plan, aligned to corporate and product roadmaps.

• You will continuously scan and qualify opportunities across R&D and innovation, sustainability and energy transition, digital and AI adoption, workforce and skills, export and market-entry, capital investment, and regional development incentives.

• You will lead end-to-end bid management, including eligibility assessments, bid/no-bid decisions, application authoring, budget development, cost justification, partner/consortium structuring, risk registers, and submission management.

• You will coordinate internal stakeholders for technical narratives, impact cases, workplans, and IP considerations, ensuring alignment with compliance, tax, and legal requirements (including subsidy control/state aid, procurement rules, and reporting).

• You will manage relationships with programme officers, innovation agencies, and delivery partners, securing clarifications, feedback, and debriefs to continuously improve win rates.

• You will implement robust governance for grant accounting, drawdowns, audits, milestone reporting, and KPI tracking, partnering with Finance and PMO.

• You will build and maintain a global knowledge base of programmes, calendars, templates, and exemplar answers to accelerate future bids.

• You will produce regular pipeline reports and executive updates quantifying funds secured, leverage ratios, and strategic impact. You will support training and enablement across the business on grant opportunity spotting and bid-readiness.
