LGBTQI+ rights/ SOGIESC
Kaleidoscope Trust is proud to be a founding member of The Commonwealth Equality Network and to host its Secretariat. Our partnerships with LGBTI+ communities across the Commonwealth have informed our approach to inclusion and equality, in the workplace and beyond. 

We are an open organisation, committed to having great working practices that enable all team members to have ownership over their work. We are committed to employing and nurturing a diverse range of people, and especially encourage applications from women, the vast and varied members of the LGBTI+ community, the multiply-marginalised, and People of the Global Majority.

The Role:

The Movement Building Manager is central to KT’s mission, helping drive the legal, policy, and social change needed to advance LGBTI+ rights by strengthening partners’ capacity, supporting their advocacy, and building long-term movement impact.

The role oversees KT’s major grant-funded programmes from start to finish. Through direct delivery and coordination across KT, they ensure that each grant meets its objectives, is delivered on time and within budget, is compliant with regulations and requirements, including reporting, is risk-managed, and contributes to KT’s wider movement-building strategy.

This role is an opportunity to support LGBTI+ organisations at a critical moment globally, providing the longer-term funding, partnership, and capacity support needed to drive legal, policy, and social change in their own contexts.

The Movement Building Manager will be the lead responsible for the delivery, donor compliance, and accountability of part of our programmatic work. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering key parts of the grants directly (such as grant-making and capacity strengthening support), build connections and relationships with grantee partners, and will support coordinated delivery across KT by bringing together colleagues and functions to meet programme objectives and donor requirements.

Person Specification:
Essential
  • Experience managing grant-funded programmes in the Global South and East, including delivery, compliance, safeguarding, and reporting. 
  • Strong understanding of donor requirements and accountability, including financial oversight and risk management. 
  • Experience working with civil society partners in the Global South and East, building trusted relationships and providing long-term support. 
  • Experience of grant-making processes, including due diligence, contracting, sub-grant management, and partner monitoring. 
  • Ability to coordinate delivery across colleagues and teams, ensuring programmes are delivered effectively and realistically. 
  • Strong organisational and communication skills, including clear writing for donor audiences. 
  • Commitment to LGBTI+ rights and an understanding of the challenges facing movements globally, including the anti-rights environment.
