Job Context

We are looking for a curious, detail-oriented Researcher who can find relevant opportunities for our business, check eligibility requirements, and prepare accurate, tailored applications.

Opportunities may include grants, funding programmes, startup competitions, accelerators, tenders, contracts, and partnerships.

Students and recent graduates are welcome. Academic research, freelance work, volunteering, and personal projects can demonstrate relevant skills.

Job Responsibilities

• Research official portals and credible sources to identify opportunities relevant to the company’s profile and business needs.

• Read full guidelines and check eligibility, including entity type, location, business stage, exclusions, required documents, deadlines, time zones, costs, and submission requirements.

• Prepare clear opportunity summaries covering benefits, requirements, official links, and a justified recommendation on whether to apply.

• Draft tailored application answers, proposals, and supporting documents using verified company information.

• Request missing information rather than inventing claims, achievements, figures, or other details.

• Coordinate application reviews and submit applications once authorised. Refer fees, declarations, and commitments to the manager before proceeding.

• Maintain a Google Sheets or Excel tracker covering opportunities, eligibility, deadlines, application status, required documents, next actions, and follow-up dates.

• Retain submission confirmations, monitor updates, and follow up where appropriate.

• Provide concise progress reports and protect confidential company information.

• Use AI tools to support research and drafting while checking facts and requirements against original sources.

Requirements

• Strong online research skills and the ability to identify credible, official sources.

• Good reading comprehension and written English.

• Ability to understand complex guidelines and summarise them clearly.

• Strong attention to detail, organisation, and deadline management.

• Curiosity, critical thinking, and willingness to learn unfamiliar topics independently.

• Ability to distinguish verified facts from assumptions and explain research findings with supporting sources.

• Comfortable using Google Docs and Sheets or Microsoft Word and Excel.

• Ability to work independently in a remote environment and communicate progress clearly.

• Availability for an agreed part-time schedule and willingness to start soon.

• No specific degree is required.

Preferred Experience

Experience in research, proposal writing, grant applications, bidding, business development support, or virtual assistance is helpful. Relevant academic, freelance, volunteer, and personal-project experience will also be considered.

What Success Looks Like

• Finding relevant, verified opportunities.

• Making accurate eligibility checks and clear apply/do-not-apply recommendations.

• Preparing complete, tailored applications.

• Meeting deadlines and maintaining reliable records and follow-up.

Quality, accuracy, and relevance matter more than the number of links collected.
