Summary

Here's a draft you can paste into Upwork. I've left a few brackets for details only you know (your company, sector, which programmes you're targeting), and I'd suggest filling those in because good grant writers filter hard on that. Title: EU Grant Writer for Horizon Europe / EIC / Erasmus+ Applications (Ongoing) Description: I'm the founder of [Noma Consulting AB], a [one line on what you do — e.g. Swedish consultancy working in X]. I'm looking for an experienced EU grant writer to identify suitable funding calls and write competitive applications on our behalf. This is an ongoing collaboration, not a one-off, so I want someone who can become a long-term partner. What you'll do: Screen open and upcoming EU calls (Horizon Europe, EIC Accelerator, Erasmus+, Interreg, LIFE, Digital Europe, Eurostars, plus national/Nordic co-funding where relevant) and recommend the ones we have a realistic chance of winning. Write full applications: excellence, impact, and implementation sections, work packages, budgets, Gantt charts, and consortium descriptions. Help structure and align partners when a consortium is required, including drafting partner-search texts and Letters of Intent. Handle the Funding & Tenders Portal submission process and keep track of deadlines. If we win, support reporting and the grant agreement preparation stage. You should have: A track record of funded EU applications. Please share which calls you've won and roughly the success rate. I'll ask for one anonymised sample proposal. Solid understanding of evaluation criteria and how evaluators actually score, not just the templates. Experience with budgets, TRL levels, and impact/dissemination/exploitation logic. Fluent written English. Swedish is a plus but not required. Availability to work across a deadline sprint when a call is closing. How I'd like to work: Start with a paid trial: a call-screening report plus a 2–3 page concept note for one call we agree on. If it goes well, we move to full proposals. Payment can be per proposal, hourly, or a mix of a base fee and a success bonus. Tell me what model you prefer and your rates. Weekly check-in, async updates in between.
