Help turn funding into opportunity for children and young people across Ireland.
The Irish Youth Foundation (IYF) is looking for a proactive, organised and curious Grantmaking & Philanthropy Executive to join our growing team.
Grantmaking is at the heart of this role. Working closely with our Grants Manager, you'll help ensure that funding reaches organisations making a difference in young people's lives. From managing grant processes and supporting funded organisations to gathering impact stories and reporting on results, you'll help us understand what our funding achieves.

What we're looking for
You're organised, detail-oriented and comfortable working with data, systems and deadlines. You enjoy building relationships, solving problems and getting things done. Experience in grantmaking or philanthropy is welcome, but your attitude, initiative and willingness to learn matter too.
What we offer
You'll report to the Chief Executive Officer and join a collaborative team where your work will help strengthen the organisations supporting children and young people experiencing poverty and marginalisation.
