About Us

We are building AI-enabled operating systems to support research translation, venture building, grant administration and commercialisation workflows. 

We work across university teams, researchers, startups, corporate partners and public funding agencies to turn complex manual processes into structured, auditable and scalable workflows.

The Role

As Manager, Research Grant Management Operations, you are responsible for the operational integrity of three funding streams: MOE De-GAP, Central GAP and Technology Development Agreement (TDA) funding.

You ensure that grant finances, claims, procurement, project progress and grantor reporting are tracked accurately, followed through consistently, and supported by reliable data.

This is a hands-on ownership role. You will lead weekly operating cadence, keep dashboards accurate, drive stakeholder follow-up, and help move grant administration away from manual work into an integrated AI-driven grant management solution.

Separately, you will support new programme reviews from an operational, overseas compliance and financial sustainability perspective, ensuring programmes are administratively workable and at minimum financially neutral unless otherwise approved.

• Ensure dashboards are updated before management reviews and reflect actual project status, not outdated inputs.
• Follow up on open actions, overdue items and missing updates across stakeholders.
• Escalate issues that require decisions, approvals or intervention.

Build the Future Grant Management Solution

• Map current manual workflows across De-GAP, Central GAP and TDA and identify bottlenecks, duplication and control gaps.
• Translate operational requirements into system requirements for an in-house AI-driven grant management solution.
• Support integration across Monday.com, Jedox, Slack, iRIMS and other relevant systems.
• Design and test workflow logic for reminders, approvals, claims tracking, reporting and dashboard updates.
• Contribute as a process owner and product user, ensuring the solution is practical, auditable and scalable.

Integrate the Three Grant Streams

• Bring De-GAP, Central GAP and TDA into one coherent grant management framework.
• Standardise tracking, reporting, claims and dashboard logic where possible.
• Document the differences in funding mechanics, approval routes, milestone tracking and reporting obligations.
• Avoid separate manual workflows by building a common operating model that can support different grant types.

Support New Programme Review

• Support new programme review as a separate scope from grant administration.
• Assess whether new programmes are administratively workable and financially neutral at minimum, unless otherwise approved.
• Check overseas compliance considerations, funding source, cost recovery, claims process and reporting obligations.
• Flag unfunded, non-compliant or operationally unsustainable commitments before programme launch.

Partner Across Functions

• Translate operational issues into clear actions, owners and timelines.
• Follow up firmly and professionally to keep work moving.
• Keep management informed of risks, delays and decisions required.
