Grants & Funding Specialist (EU / Defence Projects) | Founder

Grey Raven Technologies is a Riga-based drone and defence-tech startup. We're looking for a Grants & Funding Specialist to help us win EU, NATO and national funding: non-dilutive capital and strategic project partnerships that speed up our R&D.

You'll find the right calls, turn our technology into strong proposals, and coordinate partners and documents through to submission. If you like clear writing, deadlines and seeing your work turn into funded projects, this role is for you.

Must have:

• Strong written English: clear, structured, persuasive
• Ability to understand technical concepts and explain them in proposals
• Organised and deadline-driven
• Interest in defence, UAVs or deep tech

Nice to have:

• Experience with EU funding programmes (EDF, Horizon Europe, EIC, etc.)
• Grant writing or project management background
• Familiarity with defence or dual-use technologies
• Network in research institutions or the public sector

• Identify relevant EU, NATO and national funding opportunities
• Write and submit grant applications
• Coordinate required documents and consortium partners
• Track deadlines, eligibility requirements and compliance
• Communicate with programme coordinators and stakeholders
• Support reporting for funded projects
• Maintain a pipeline of upcoming calls

• Success-based pay: a percentage of the funding you help secure
• Possible retainer for active applications (case by case)
• Flexible, project-based schedule that fits around studies
• Opportunity for equity (shares) based on long-term contribution
• Hands-on experience with EU defence funding, a highly sought-after skill
