You will assess business plans and project cashflows submitted by applicants to ensure the ongoing sustainability and viability of venues and the ability to repay any loan, whilst ensuring the appropriate technical information is provided. You will be responsible for making funding recommendations to senior LTA colleagues through the Facility Investment Panel and LTA TF trustees. In addition, and working with others, you will lead a new strand of activity to evaluate the impact of our capital investments. On the LTA Tennis Foundation, you will manage the end-to-end development and delivery of the Grant (revenue) Making Framework, from application stage, through the assessment process and to award, payment and monitoring / evaluation stages. The Framework has already invested £2.9m into 40 third sector organisations to deliver inspiring projects which use tennis as the vehicle to improve lives and this is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding third sector grant and loan management professional to ensure we operate with excellence and help us better understand our collective impact and become the best funder we can possibly be.
