Funding Consultant

(Freelance Consultancy)

Granter is an AI-powered funding platform on a mission to transform how companies access public funding. By combining proprietary AI technology with the expertise of experienced funding professionals, we help companies discover, evaluate, and apply to relevant funding opportunities, making the process faster, simpler, and more effective.

As we expand our funding intelligence and the capabilities of our platform, we are building a network of experienced funding consultants across different programmes, incentives, industries, and geographies.


About the Collaboration


We are looking to collaborate with experienced funding consultants on a flexible, freelance basis. The collaboration is primarily focused on sharing and documenting practical funding expertise — helping us understand how different programmes work in practice, how eligibility and evaluation criteria are interpreted, what evaluators look for, and what distinguishes successful applications.

This is not a fixed or full-time position. Collaborations are organised according to specific projects and areas of expertise.


Areas of Expertise


We are interested in hearing from consultants with practical experience across different types of public funding and incentive programmes, including:

  • European funding programmes

  • National and regional grants

  • Innovation and R&D incentives

  • Internationalisation programmes

  • Sustainability and energy transition funding

  • Digitalisation programmes

  • Tax incentives and tax credits

  • Employment and training incentives

  • Other public funding mechanisms


Experience can relate to Portugal, European Union programmes, or other European markets.

What the Collaboration May Involve


Depending on your expertise and the project, collaboration with Granter may include:

  • Paid consulting sessions focused on your areas of expertise

  • Structured sharing and documentation of practical funding knowledge

  • Analysis of eligibility and evaluation criteria

  • Sharing insights from previous applications and evaluation processes

  • Review of funding opportunities and programme information

  • Review of applications or specific sections of applications

  • Evaluation and validation of outputs generated by Granter's AI platform

  • Contribution to the improvement of our funding intelligence and AI systems


The scope of each collaboration will be agreed in advance and adapted to your expertise and availability.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven professional experience with one or more funding programmes or incentive schemes

  • Direct involvement in preparing, reviewing, managing, or evaluating funding applications

  • Strong understanding of eligibility requirements and evaluation criteria

  • Practical knowledge based on real applications and funding decisions, rather than exclusively theoretical knowledge

  • Ability to clearly communicate and structure your expertise

  • Availability for flexible, project-based collaboration


Practical experience and demonstrated results in the programmes you work with are our main selection criteria.

What We Offer

  • Paid freelance collaboration based on the scope and type of project

  • Full flexibility, with no fixed schedule or exclusivity

  • Opportunity to collaborate with an AI-first company transforming the funding consulting industry

  • Possibility of free access to the Granter platform, under conditions to be defined

  • Opportunity to join Granter's growing network of funding consultants and specialists

  • Potential for recurring collaborations based on expertise and project needs
