Description
Lumos works to realise every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world. Founded in 2005, Lumos partners with governments, civil society and young people with lived experience to shift children from institutional care into safe, loving family-based settings, and to strengthen the support that helps families stay together. Lumos now seek to appoint a Senior Programme Funding Manager, and Prospectus is delighted to be supporting the search.
Senior Programme Funding Manager
London / Hybrid (1-2 days in the office per week)
Permanent
35 hours per week / flexible working offered
£55,000 – £60,000 per annum (depending on experience)
Reporting to the Deputy Director of Fundraising, the Senior Programme Funding Manager will play a central role in strengthening Lumos’ programme fundraising capacity across country teams and the global fundraising function. With a particular focus on institutional fundraising, you’ll provide technical leadership to support country directors and in-country fundraising colleagues to build high-quality donor engagement, develop and progress funding opportunities, and manage donor compliance across the full funding cycle. You’ll line manage country-based fundraising roles (currently across Moldova, Kenya and Ukraine), helping to build strong pipelines, shape fundable propositions, coordinate high-quality proposal development, and ensure excellent stewardship, reporting and internal alignment across systems and sign-off processes.
The successful candidate will bring strong experience in institutional and/or programme funding, with a demonstrable track record of developing compelling proposals and managing funder requirements and compliance. You’ll be confident advising and influencing senior stakeholders, providing donor intelligence and engagement support (including with UNICEF offices, bilateral donors, UN agencies and EU actors), and translating complex programme work into clear, credible and fundable narratives. You’ll also have the leadership and coaching skills to line manage and develop colleagues across geographies, and the judgement to identify and escalate risks while strengthening tools, processes and ways of working. Occasional international travel will be required.
