How can employers attract qualified applicants?

Grantmaking hiring is shaped by decision process
Explain how funding decisions, diligence and grantee relationships work
Grantmaking roles can include program strategy, proposal review, due diligence, portfolio management, grants administration, learning and evaluation, community engagement and board support. Employers should describe the funding areas, geographic scope, typical grant process and where decision-making authority sits.
Candidates also benefit from knowing how the organization approaches grantee relationships, reporting, site visits, convenings and evaluation. That context distinguishes transactional grants administration from strategic program or portfolio leadership.
