  • Support the organisation as it navigates a period of significant global and political change, ensuring financial systems and processes are fit for purpose.

What We’re Looking For
  • Chartered Accountant with strong technical expertise in financial accounting in line with SORP and financial controls.
  • A seasoned finance leader with experience in interim or project-based roles, particularly within complex INGO/NGO’s.
  • Proven expertise in managing and restructuring teams, driving efficiency, and implementing sustainable changes.
  • A hands-on, problem-solving approach, with the ability to balance immediate operational demands with longer-term strategic planning.
