bout the Organization
The International Trans Fund (ITF) is the only global participatory grantmaker that is exclusively dedicated to supporting trans-led groups as they work to secure rights for trans people and improve their lived realities. 

Grants Manager Accountabilities (what colleagues can rely on you to do)
General
  • Guide and oversee the full lifecycle of ITF’s 50+grants per year, including invitations to apply, due diligence, production of grant documents, payments, and final reporting.
  • Provide active support to grantee partners through ongoing technical assistance and updating resources for grantseekers as requested by the Director.

Database Management
  • Manage and maintain the grants database (SmartSimple), including data integrity, maintenance and revision of templates, fields, searches, reports, user accounts, forms, and coding.
  • Manage the online application system, including editing and maintaining all forms across different funds and languages.

Compliance & Grants Management
  • Develop and maintain ITF’s Grantmaking Manual and Policy Book.
  • Develop and implement policies and procedures for ITF's grantmaking, ensuring compliance with federal (Canadian) and multilateral donor regulatory standards and grantmaking best practices.
  • Keep updated on international grantmaking, compliance, and banking regulations and best practices.
Cross Teamwork
  • Review weekly payment submissions of all grants and ensure smooth payments by liaising with Fiscal and Program staff.
  • Coordinate various special projects with other teams, such as annual grant testing for the yearly audit, and data analysis for the Communications Team related to their e-newsletter and the Annual Report.

Reporting & Evaluation
  • Conduct data analysis of ITF’s grantmaking for internal stakeholders and support the preparation of ITF’s dockets.
  • Generate data and data visualization tools for reporting to funders, to identify key trends, and to help inform ITF’s work with the trans community.
 
Knowledge (specialist expertise, experience, or access to networks that you bring to the role)
  • Working knowledge of grants administration, development, or management that includes using a GMS and managing data.
  • Direct and in-depth understanding of the different issues that can face trans movements in different contexts.

Skills
Things you can do independently and effectively:
  • Ability to manage grant cycles; inclusive of internal management of grants process with staff and external coordination with applicant organizations across the globe.
  • Design and implement new internal grantmaking processes.
  • Engage in collaborative decision-making, co-creation and planning.
  • Manage your agenda, prioritize and plan thoughtfully to meet your own - and others’ - deadlines.
  • Navigate unfamiliar and new contexts, sometimes out of your comfort zone.
  • Communicate in a clear, authentic, and engaging way in writing and speaking in English.
 
There is research that shows that people who experience multiple and intersecting marginalization often do not apply for positions unless they meet all the qualifications. While we would greatly value experiences with grantmaking systems (and SmartSimple specifically), we know that many trans people may not have this exact experience. For this role, we are looking for someone who is extremely detail oriented and passionate about developing and managing our new system.
