Research & Innovation Grants Specialist

IOG, is a technology company focused on blockchain research and development. We are renowned for our scientific approach to blockchain development, emphasizing peer-reviewed research and formal methods to ensure security, scalability, and sustainability.

Our projects include the Cardano blockchain, as well as other products in the areas of decentralized finance (DeFi), governance, and identity management, aiming to advance the capabilities and adoption of blockchain and Web3 technology globally.

The role of Research & Innovation Grants Specialist is to lead the end-to-end grants lifecycle for both foundational blockchain R&D (in areas such as formal methods, security / scalability, DeFi, governance, and digital identity) and its application in innovation projects across related industry verticals. This includes scouting and qualifying opportunities, building a 1224-month funding pipeline, shaping bid strategy, crafting high-quality applications aligned to funder priorities, and managing post-award budgets, deliverables, reporting, and compliance. The role coordinates inputs from research, finance, legal, and partnerships, and works closely with academic and industry collaborators to secure sustained investment that keeps research teams at the forefront of innovation.

Success in the role looks like increased grant wins and total award value with a diversified funder mix; higher proposal win rates and faster submission cycles; on-time, audit-clean reporting with full contractual delivery; reusable bid assets / templates that raise quality and consistency; and repeat invitations from priority funders reflecting strong, trust-based relationships.

Grant Scanning & Pipeline Development

  • Monitor and assess funding opportunities from sources such as Horizon Europe, Innovate UK (IUK), National Science Foundation (NSF), and other international programs.
  • Build and maintain a forward-looking pipeline of relevant calls aligned to IOG's research, innovation and venture priorities in blockchain and beyond.

Grant Application Development

  • Lead the preparation of high-quality grant proposals, including drafting technical sections, project plans, budgets, and impact narratives.
  • Coordinate inputs from researchers, engineers, and external partners to ensure applications are complete, accurate, and compelling.
  • Manage timelines and submission processes across multiple applications.

    • Project & Partnership Support

  • Collaborate with academic institutions, research consortia, and industry partners to co-develop joint applications.
  • Support the establishment of new partnerships that strengthen the competitiveness of bids.
  • Ensure clear communication and alignment between IOG's research strategy and partner expectations.

    • Grant Compliance & Reporting

  • Oversee post-award grant management, including monitoring deliverables, budgets, and reporting obligations.
  • Maintain records of active grants, deadlines, and funding outcomes.
  • Ensure compliance with the requirements of different funding bodies.

    • Strategic Contribution

  • Provide insights on global funding trends in blockchain, Web3, and adjacent deep-tech research fields.
  • Advise leadership on strategic grant opportunities to diversify and sustain IOG's research funding base.
  • Support internal communications by summarizing grant progress and outcomes for leadership and external reporting.
