Policy Project Manager

The National Lottery Heritage Fund

As the largest funder for the UK’s heritage, our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future.

We believe in the power of heritage to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to past.

Our mission is to use our expertise to support and champion the UK’s heritage and demonstrate the transformative potential of National Lottery funding through delivering our new strategy Heritage 2033. We ensure that money from The National Lottery makes a decisive difference for people, places and communities.

Our ideal candidate will be able to manage and deliver policy projects at pace; undertake high quality policy analysis, co-ordinating and collaborating with colleagues across the organisation, bringing different areas of expertise together; and engage external stakeholders to implement and drive impact for key initiatives, projects and policy agendas. The work will cover all areas of the heritage sector, including land and nature, built heritage and museums, libraries and archives.

If you are excited about supporting the UK’s heritage, making it inclusive and accessible to everyone, for now and future generations, then we want to hear from you.

• Applications close on 23 November 2025.
