Investment Manager (London and South)

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.

The main purpose of this post is to receive and assess grant funding applications. You will keep in contact with the successful projects, monitoring them and providing support, where appropriate. You will be part of our investment team and involved with a huge range of projects across the south of England, from museums to nature, archaeology to our industrial past, and historic buildings to the memories and traditions that are important to different groups and places.

We welcome applications from candidates with transferable skills and experience and encourage them to demonstrate these skills and experiences and how they meet the criteria in their application

If you are excited about helping ensure that heritage is inclusive and accessible to everyone, for now and future generations, then we want to hear from you.

Applications close on Sunday, 21 June 2026 at 23:59 pm.
Interviews are expected to take place on Monday, 6 July 2026.
