This is an exciting time to join the Foundation, as the postholder will play an essential role in delivering an element of TRF's expanding programme of support to independent exiled media organisations, which has grown substantially since 2022. Exiled / Hybrid media is an increasingly important feature of the global independent media landscape: as the spread of authoritarianism, restrictions on press freedoms and violence against journalists forces media organisations to leave their home countries to continue providing citizens with fair and accurate coverage of critical events. This phenomenon poses complex business, technological and journalistic challenges and TRF is committed to playing a leading role in supporting independent journalism to respond and thrive. The programme of work includes a significant training programme element and a grant-making component, with a mix of long-term grants; shorter-term project funds; and associated technical assistance available to eligible organisations. This role would sit within the core project team and focus on the design and delivery of key programmatic elements, including a capacity building training programme and a one-year grant programme which fits within the wider programme for exiled media. The successful post holder will coordinate and lead the implementation of these, working closely with the Project Manager and Finance Team to ensure grants and training delivery are managed to a high standard and contribute to TRFs overall strategic and learning objectives for the programme. The postholder will be based within TRF's Central & Eastern Europe programmes team and report to the Project Manager for media in exile. Successful candidates will bring regional and contextual knowledge, previous experience of coordinating, implementing, and managing sub-grants and awards, as well as training programmes or similar capacity building interventions, have great people skills, and be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of financial and budget management. Knowledge of the Russian and/or Belarusian language would be a considerable asset. Please note, this is a fixed-term contract till 30 September 2026 with a minimum of 2 days per week in our London office. Occasional travel in Central and Eastern Europe may be required. About the Role As a Senior Project Coordinator at the Thomson Reuters Foundation, you will: Oversee the end-to-end design and management of a one-year grant programme for independent media outlets in exile, including the call for applications, proposal evaluations, due diligence, grant agreement development, monitoring, and narrative and financial reporting processes. Manage the advertisement, application and evaluation process for the grant programme, working closely with prospective grantees, external evaluators, and internal selection panels. Ensure that all due diligence, contracting and financial set-up processes are followed accurately and comply with TRF's processes and requirements. You will conduct thorough due diligence assessing eligibility, financial stability, alignment with our mission, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in collaboration with colleagues in the Programmes and Finance teams. Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external partners to develop comprehensive grant agreements, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives and compliance requirements. Oversee the management of key reporting and financial processes for the grant programme: including ensuring the timely receipt of narrative progress and financial reports and support to the wider project team to deliver a quality evaluation and learning framework for the programme. Work collaboratively with colleagues in the Finance department to review grant budgets, financial reports, process requests for budget changes and additional disbursements, and ensure timely receipt of grant funds. Work with the Project Manager and Finance department colleagues to ensure grantee adherence to TRF's financial reporting guidelines, including the provision of support to grantees to enable them to meet these guidelines accurately, where necessary. Ensure all grant activities adhere to internal policies, procedures, and governance standards, in line with TRF's Project Cycle Management (PCM). Design, coordinate, and deliver capacity building interventions, including training and mentorship programmes, to support the development of independent media outlets in exile. This will involve working closely with internal stakeholders, external partners, and participants to identify capacity building needs, develop tailored interventions, and evaluate their effectiveness. Work closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to coordinate and manage the delivery of in-kind technical assistance / capacity building support where this has been identified as an additional element of TRFs grant award. This is likely to include: undertaking supplier due diligence; onboarding and contracting of TRF experts; ensuring timely receipt of reporting and processing of invoices for suppliers; and acting as the routine point of contact for suppliers working on TRF grants. Working closely with the Project Manager, ensure that any relevant risks, issues, and lessons associated with specific grant awards are identified and managed appropriately: including where appropriate through monitoring mitigating actions and/or escalating when required. Cultivate strong relationships with grant partners, providing guidance and support, addressing any queries or concerns, and fostering effective communication channels. Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of grant-related activities, including documentation of agreements, reports, correspondence, and any other relevant information. Support knowledge sharing and learning for the Programmes team by sharing lessons learnt and contributing to Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL) activities within the programme. About You To be a Senior Project Coordinator at Thomson Reuters, you will likely have: Strong knowledge and experience in managing entire grant and award lifecycles: including building strong, collaborative partnerships; experience reviewing and analysing project budgets; monitoring, evaluation and reporting with grantees while ensuring corporate and donor compliance requirements are met.
