Grant Writer

We are seeking a Grant Writer to secure non-dilutive funding that accelerates our roadmap for electric propulsion and ULEO satellites. You will own the end-to-end grant lifecycle — from opportunity scouting and bid/no-bid decisions to proposal authorship, budgeting, submission, and post-award reporting — partnering closely with our engineering and business teams.

Requirements

• ≥3 years of hands-on grant/proposal writing with successful awards in deep-tech or aerospace (agency, prime, or startup environment)
• Demonstrated wins with programmes such as ESA (GSTP/ARTES/Discovery), UKSA/Innovate UK, Horizon Europe/EIC, or analogous national/EU schemes
• Exceptional writing and editing skills: clear structure, evaluator-focused narratives, and strong evidence use (data, TRLs, milestones, KPIs)
• Proficiency building compliant budgets and work-breakdown structures; comfortable with Excel and portal-based submissions
• Ability to digest complex technical content (propulsion, power, GNC, materials, testing) and collaborate closely with engineers and scientists
• Strong project management: owns timelines, unblocks contributors, and delivers error-free submissions under tight deadlines
• Familiarity with IP, publication, export control, and security considerations (works with Legal when needed)
• Skilled stakeholder manager with partners, universities, primes, and funders; confident in interviews and clarification rounds
• High integrity, attention to detail, and a pragmatic, outcome-oriented approach in an agile, fast-moving environment

Benefits

• Private health insurance with dental and optical coverage
• Annual healthcare check-ups
• Equity and competitive salary
• Company ownership stakes
