This is a newly created role where you will manage the global consolidation of financial activities across the foundation\'s programmatic regions and functions.

  • Contributing to developing financial policies and procedures to support decision-making.
  • Monitoring financial systems, processes, and compliance, proposing improvements as necessary.
  • Collaborating on financial planning cycles, including annual budgets and reforecasting processes.
  • Supporting incoming contributions, audit preparation, and statutory submissions.

The ideal Management Accountant will:

  • Be a qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent) or studying towards a qualification with extensive Management Accounting experience.
  • Have experience working within and a passion for the charity sector and global humanitarian issues.
  • Be a problem solver: experienced in improving systems and processes and working with ambiguity.
  • Have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work well with colleagues within and outside of finance.
