Grant Funding Coordinator

Grant Funding Coordinator

Full-time position

About Farsight Vision

Farsight Vision develops AI-powered geospatial intelligence solutions for defence and security operations. The platform transforms raw aerial and sensor data into real-time 3D environments, actionable analytics, and AI-assisted operational scenarios, enabling enhanced situational awareness, planning, and faster decision-making for both human operators and autonomous systems.

We are looking for a Grants Manager to build and run our grant funding function end-to-end – from identifying the right opportunities to writing winning applications to reporting that keeps us compliant and fundable. This is not a role for someone who fills out forms and waits to be told what to apply for. You will own the pipeline: finding the money, making the case, and closing the loop.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate technical and financial reporting and administration for funded projects: deliverables, implementation, and compliant, on-time submissions

• Own the full application cycle from grants pipeline take-over, through opportunity assessment and eligibility screening, to drafting, budgeting, and submission

• Monitor and identify local and international funding opportunities across defense/dual-use innovation funds (e.g. Brave1, NATO, EU defense programs).

• Collaborate closely with R&D, Business Development, marketing, finance, and leadership to gather the technical and financial inputs each application needs

• Represent the company at consortiums and other multi-stakeholder forums, acting as the bridge between leadership and external partners

• Support applications to international accelerators, incubators, innovation challenges, defense programs, and military exercises

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience managing grants – applying, winning, and reporting – ideally across both public/government and private fonds

• Knowledge of project management (scoping and budgeting)

• Experience co-implementing international consortium projects – multiple partners, shared deliverables, split reporting obligations

• Proven track record of securing grant funding, experience with defense, dual-use, or EU/NATO innovation funding instruments specifically – e.g. Horizon Europe, EDF, EIC Accelerator, DIANA

• Strong spoken and written English

• Comfortable owning cross-functional work, strong organizational skills and attention to details

Security Eligibility

Our platform is actively used by the Armed Forces in live operations. As an Estonian-Ukrainian defence technology company handling sensitive operational data, we have a responsibility – legal, ethical, and practical – to ensure the integrity of everyone on our team.

All candidates must be able to confirm the following:

• Neither you nor your close relatives (parents, spouse, siblings, children) reside in Russia, Belarus, or temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories

• You have no regular personal, financial, business, or professional contact with individuals in those territories

• You consent to a deeper security verification if the process advances to later stages

If any of the above criteria are not met, please do not proceed with your application.

Why Farsight Vision

We move fast, we expect you to bring solutions rather than excuses, and we notice who’s actually motivated versus who’s just saying the right words.

Flexible working hours. Paid vacation and sick leave. Direct access to founders and leadership.
