Grants Manager (m/f/d)

Your mission

We're looking for a Grants Manager to run our public funding portfolio and help us scale e-methane plants across Europe. You'll own the full grant journey: finding the right funding calls for our projects, writing and submitting strong applications to EU and national programmes, and managing the grants we win, from the grant agreement through reporting and audits. You'll work closely with our Growth Lead and our project development, engineering and finance teams, and you'll build the processes, templates and AI-supported workflows that let us apply for more funding, faster. You'll own our AI grant engine, which writes first drafts of our applications, and keep making it better.

Help scale renewable e-methane across Europe by securing the public funding behind our projects. You'll run our grant portfolio from first idea to final report, and make sure the funding we win turns into plants that get built.

Your Responsibilities

• Identify and assess EU and national funding opportunities (Germany, Spain and beyond) for our projects and technology
• Write and coordinate funding applications from start to submission, working with project development, engineering, finance and external partners
• Prepare grant agreements with funding bodies once we win
• Manage awarded grants: reporting, payment requests, budget tracking, amendments and audits
• Keep our funding pipeline up to date and bring clear recommendations on which calls to apply for
• Own and develop our AI grant engine, from inputs and prompts to quality checks, together with our funding playbook and templates
• Guide our working student during bid season
• Support our project development company on selected topics around processes and project tracking

Your profile

• 2-4 years of experience in grants or public funding, with EU or national applications you've written and submitted, ideally won
• Experience managing awarded grants, including reporting, budgets and audits
• Structured, detail-oriented and great at keeping many deadlines on track at once
• Comfortable with numbers: you can read a financial model and understand eligible costs
• You take ownership and enjoy working with partners, authorities and colleagues
• Hands-on experience using AI tools for real work, and a critical eye for their output
• Fluent in English and German
• Bonus: Spanish, experience with the EU Innovation Fund or Horizon Europe, or a background in energy or engineering

Why us?

• Real impact on the energy transition: your work directly funds plants that turn CO₂ and green hydrogen into renewable gas
• Ownership of a growing funding portfolio across several countries and programmes
• Close collaboration with our Growth Lead and a direct line to decision-making in a small, international team of around 25-30 people
• The chance to shape how we run funding as we scale, with room to grow the team
• Access to cutting-edge AI tools and the chance to build our AI grant engine, which writes first drafts of our applications
• Office in Munich with hybrid working
