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.
