Senior Investment Manager (London and South)

The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK’s heritage, with a vision 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 the 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 are currently recruiting for a Senior Investment Manager on a permanent contract based in either our Exeter or London office (Hybrid Working). We welcome applications from candidates seeking full-time or part-time work, as this role can be offered as one full-time position or two part-time positions. For part-time applicants, we are flexible but ask for a minimum of three days per week. Let us know your preferred pattern when applying.

The purpose of this role is to work as part of the Investment Team to manage and deliver investment activity across the London and South area. This includes:

• Assessing and monitoring a wide range of applications and projects, particularly those that are complex and large scale.
• Providing advice and guidance to grantees.
• Participating in outreach activities.
• Contributing to the wider work of the London and South team.

This role is likely to include line management of one or two people. 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.

If you would like a short conversation to find out more about the role, please contact Tamalie Newbery, Head of Investment, at Tamalie.Newbery@heritagefund.org.uk to arrange a time to speak. Please make your request with as much notice as possible.

Our Values

Our Values and Behaviours sit at the heart of our work and are central to how we recruit. How you demonstrate our Values is just as important to us as your skills and experience:

• Inclusive of all aspects of heritage, people, and communities.
• Ambitious for our people, communities, and heritage.
• Collaborative by working and learning together.

Flexible Working

The National Lottery Heritage Fund has offices all over the UK and we champion a flexible approach to working where this supports our business needs. We have formally adopted a hybrid working approach. This means that most employees will work from their contracted Heritage Fund office twice a week at minimum. Time spent on site visits to projects or other meetings based at another Heritage Fund or external office are counted as part of those two days. The other days in the week employees may work from home.

Disability Confident Employer

We guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum essential criteria for every vacancy. We always endeavour to make reasonable adjustments and special requirements can be discussed and arranged before an interview. The National Lottery Heritage Fund pledges to provide an inclusive working and learning environment for our people which prioritises fairness, equality, diversity, and inclusion as well as dignity and respect for all. We will create a workspace where intimidation, discrimination, harassment, bullying, and victimisation are not tolerated and actively prevented and opposed.
