Fundraising Manager

About Fundin Fundin makes fundraising simpler and more accessible for charities. We use AI-powered technology to help organisations find the right funding opportunities, draft strong applications and manage their grant activity more effectively. We're a small, fast-growing startup with a hands-on culture and a big vision. As an early team member, you'll play an important role in shaping our systems, processes and ways of working as the business grows. The Role We're looking for an experienced Fundraising Manager / Bid Writer to manage a portfolio of client accounts and lead them through the grant journey, from being funder-ready and identifying the right opportunities to producing strong, competitive bids. This is a client-facing role with real ownership. You won't write every application from scratch. Fundin's AI agents handle grant matching and first drafts, and you bring the expertise that wins funding. That means understanding each organisation, setting its funding strategy, quality-checking matches and turning drafts into compelling, well-positioned applications. This role suits someone who enjoys building relationships, thinking strategically about funding, and is excited by how AI can multiply what a skilled bid writer can achieve.

• Support clients to clarify outcomes, impact, budgets and evidence.
• Keep client profiles and campaigns on Fundin up to date so matching and drafting improve over time. Grant Identification & Strategy
• Review and quality-check AI-generated grant matches, filtering weak fits and spotting missed opportunities.
• Advise clients on which funds to pursue and why.
• Plan and prioritise applications based on deadlines and likelihood of success. Bid Review & Improvement
• Review, edit and improve AI-drafted funding applications.
• Ensure bids are clear, compelling, evidence-backed and aligned with funder criteria.
• Deliver finished applications to clients on time for them to submit. Ongoing Client Support & Product Feedback

• Comfortable working with AI tools, or keen to learn. Desirable
• Track record of successful grant applications.
• Experience across a range of funders (trusts, foundations, statutory or corporate).
