Work with us
At Tudor, our commitment to people and culture is about ensuring that the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging underpin everything we do.
We are a growing staff team, with a deep commitment to using a systems thinking approach to move toward a world as it should be. Our mission is to advance racial justice by resourcing power within communities and our staff are at the heart of making this happen.
We work closely together to reimagine grant-making approaches, this takes bravery to stand by our convictions and hold each other to account, creativity to imagine something different and curiosity to be able to think deeply and be open to learning from our grant partners and communities.
The staff team deliver Tudor’s strategy, governance, operations, and grant-making programme following our agreed behaviours which are: bravery, compassion, creativity, curiosity, humility and integrity.
We look to work with people who are committed to racial justice and systems change and who thrive working in a deeply relational way with others. People who are open to working in new ways, depending on what we learn as we go, and who can also bring their own experiences and perspectives to the team to help advance our mission.

About this opportunity
Tudor is currently inviting proposals from experienced solution providers to design, implement and support a new Grant Making System and CRM.
Over the past 18 months we have redesigned our grant-making approach with a new framework that is relationship-based, trust-led and emergent. Informed by our Change We Seek strategy, we are committed to building long-term partnerships that strengthen civic power through the lens of racial justice. We are working towards a total asset approach to advance these aims, aligning all our resources to support deep and sustainable change.
We are now seeking a new grants system that better reflects our ways of working and supports practices in line with our Change We Seek strategy. This new system will underpin our transition to a data-informed, learning-centred and ethically-managed grant-making environment.
The implementation partner will work collaboratively with the Tudor team to co-design, build, configure and deliver a system that:
- Supports our grant-making processes from end-to-end
- Integrates smoothly with supporting tools (e.g. email, document management and finance systems)
- Is secure, accessible, extensible and future-proof
- Minimises disruption during migration from the current system.
The expected go-live is no later than August 2026.
