• Monitor changes in the funding environment and advise design leaders on timely strategic opportunities.
• Own the full grant lifecycle, from spotting opportunities through application preparation, submission, and post-award reporting.
• Work with Design, Engineering, and Finance teams to prepare persuasive proposals that clearly explain technical value, design impact, and commercial potential.
• Convert complex design and R&D work into clear, compelling narratives for funding bodies.
• Make sure funded projects stay aligned with compliance obligations and reporting timelines.
• Maintain professional relationships with grant agencies, including participation in reviews and related discussions.
• Track grant budgets, coordinate claims with Finance, and quickly resolve any mismatches or discrepancies.
• Partner with design leadership to understand R&D roadmaps and identify initiatives that fit funding criteria.
• Help advance Logitech’s sustainability goals by supporting funding for design-for-sustainability initiatives.

Requirements
