Please note that we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role. Application closing date: 30 April 2026 Interview dates: during May 2026 ABOUT THE HUO FAMILY FOUNDATION AND ITS SCIENCE PROGRAMME HFF is a grant-giving foundation based in London. Its mission is to support education, communities and the pursuit of knowledge. The Foundation's current focus is in three main areas: education; the arts; and science. Since its inception in 2009, it has pledged over $100M to impactful projects in the UK, US and China. More information is available at . The Trustees of the Foundation are supported by a small executive team of six. The rapid rise and use of digital technology have permeated much of society and transformed the way many humans interact. There has been a broad array of research efforts, but the full implications - both positive and negative - on human physiology, psychology, behaviour, well-being and mental health remain unclear. We believe there is an opportunity to help advance the research and the field of knowledge in this area. To this end, since mid-2024, HFF has established and will continue to grow a multi-year research portfolio in the UK and the US on the Effects of the Usage of Digital Technology on Brain Development, Social Behaviours and Mental Health in Children and Young People. In 2025, we ran our first annual call and recently announced the outcome of these awards on our website . For our second annual funding round in 2026, we recently released an open call for proposals. As we continue to build our funding portfolio through annual funding calls, we are now looking for a Senior Funding Manager to join the small HFF Science Team in a permanent role. SUMMARY PURPOSE - WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING AND ACHIEVING The Senior Funding Manager is a newly created role in the HFF Science Team. You will work with the Director of Research and the Senior Programme Officer to administer the Foundation's science portfolio of grants schemes, awarded grants and associated activities. You will manage and deliver the end-to-end grant application, review and award processes. You will act as a key point of contact for external liaison relating to the schemes. Working with the rest of the team, you will also help to develop and deliver events for Foundation grant holders. The role may require some domestic and international travel, including to meet grant holders for horizon scanning, monitoring and impact assessment purposes. You may also contribute to the Foundation's wider portfolio of work, and the delivery of our strategy. IS THIS JOB FOR ME? This is an exciting new role within HFF Science Team and would suit an individual looking to apply their demonstrable experience of research funding processes, and their knowledge of the research environment and funding landscape. You will lead and deliver the full funding cycle with its complex priorities with confidence. Strong communication, analytical skills and attention to detail are essential, along with the ability to build trusted relationships and work collaboratively. You will be part of a small team, so a pro-active and 'hands on' approach to all tasks will be necessary; collaboration and a willingness to support others are essential to success in this role. If you're organised, adaptable and keen to make a positive impact on world-class research, we'd love to hear from you. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES As a Senior Funding Manager, you will: Take a leading role on managing a diverse grant portfolio from pre-application to post-award, ensuring robust due diligence, clear communication with applicants, high-quality committee preparation, supporting good governance and decision-making, and smooth implementation of funding decisions. Provide proactive and collaborative funding operations support to the Science Team and other HFF colleagues. Lead, coordinate and deliver funding schemes and calls, setting timelines and workflows, and managing all aspects of associated funding committees to enable efficient, well governed decision making. Act as a trusted advisor, offering guidance to applicants and colleagues on funding policies, applicant eligibility, assessment processes, allowable costs and best practice. Oversee, coordinate and deliver high quality peer review and governance, selecting appropriate expert reviewers, managing conflicts of interest, ensuring timely and transparent assessments.

Application closing date: 30 April 2026 Interview dates: during May 2026 ABOUT THE HUO FAMILY FOUNDATION AND ITS SCIENCE PROGRAMME HFF is a grant-giving foundation based in London. Its mission is to support education, communities and the pursuit of knowledge. The Foundation's current focus is in three main areas: education; the arts; and science. Since its inception in 2009, it has pledged over $100M to impactful projects in the UK, US and China. More information is available at . The Trustees of the Foundation are supported by a small executive team of six. The rapid rise and use of digital technology have permeated much of society and transformed the way many humans interact. There has been a broad array of research efforts, but the full implications - both positive and negative - on human physiology, psychology, behaviour, well-being and mental health remain unclear. We believe there is an opportunity to help advance the research and the field of knowledge in this area. To this end, since mid-2024, HFF has established and will continue to grow a multi-year research portfolio in the UK and the US on the Effects of the Usage of Digital Technology on Brain Development, Social Behaviours and Mental Health in Children and Young People. In 2025, we ran our first annual call and recently announced the outcome of these awards on our website . For our second annual funding round in 2026, we recently released an open call for proposals. As we continue to build our funding portfolio through annual funding calls, we are now looking for a Senior Funding Manager to join the small HFF Science Team in a permanent role. SUMMARY PURPOSE - WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING AND ACHIEVING The Senior Funding Manager is a newly created role in the HFF Science Team. You will work with the Director of Research and the Senior Programme Officer to administer the Foundation's science portfolio of grants schemes, awarded grants and associated activities. You will manage and deliver the end-to-end grant application, review and award processes. You will act as a key point of contact for external liaison relating to the schemes. Working with the rest of the team, you will also help to develop and deliver events for Foundation grant holders. The role may require some domestic and international travel, including to meet grant holders for horizon scanning, monitoring and impact assessment purposes. You may also contribute to the Foundation's wider portfolio of work, and the delivery of our strategy. IS THIS JOB FOR ME? This is an exciting new role within HFF Science Team and would suit an individual looking to apply their demonstrable experience of research funding processes, and their knowledge of the research environment and funding landscape. You will lead and deliver the full funding cycle with its complex priorities with confidence. Strong communication, analytical skills and attention to detail are essential, along with the ability to build trusted relationships and work collaboratively. You will be part of a small team, so a pro-active and 'hands on' approach to all tasks will be necessary; collaboration and a willingness to support others are essential to success in this role. If you're organised, adaptable and keen to make a positive impact on world-class research, we'd love to hear from you. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES As a Senior Funding Manager, you will: Take a leading role on managing a diverse grant portfolio from pre-application to post-award, ensuring robust due diligence, clear communication with applicants, high-quality committee preparation, supporting good governance and decision-making, and smooth implementation of funding decisions.
