About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join Synchronicity Earth, a global conservation charity working to protect some of the world's most overlooked and threatened species and ecosystems.

Working with more than 130 conservation partners worldwide, Synchronicity Earth takes a long-term, trust-based approach to funding conservation and supporting locally led solutions.

As Financial Controller, you'll lead a small, high-performing finance team and act as a trusted adviser to the Leadership Team and Trustees. This is a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of the finance function, driving improvements that strengthen decision-making and support Synchronicity Earth's continued growth and impact.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading the annual audit and statutory reporting process.
  • Owning budgeting, forecasting and monthly management reporting.
  • Providing strategic financial insight to senior leaders and Trustees.
  • Managing treasury, cashflow forecasting and investment reporting.
  • Improving finance systems, reporting and automation.
  • Leading and developing a collaborative finance team while building strong relationships across the organisation.

About you

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with strong technical accounting knowledge and experience leading finance within a complex organisation.

You'll bring experience of statutory reporting, audit, business partnering, financial planning and team leadership, alongside a passion for improving systems and using data to support better decision-making.

Charity experience is welcome but not essential. More important is a collaborative approach and an appreciation that finance should enable thoughtful, flexible grant-making rather than simply oversee it.

About Synchronicity Earth

Synchronicity Earth is an ambitious conservation charity dedicated to protecting the world's most overlooked species and ecosystems. By working in partnership with local organisations around the world, it helps deliver long-term conservation solutions that benefit both biodiversity and the communities protecting it.

Recruitment Process

We are partnering exclusively on finance recruitment with Altum Consulting. First stage interviews for this role will commence from 27th July so please do not delay in applying. If you'd love to work for Synchronicity Earth but don't feel quite ready for a finance leadership role, please get in touch with Altum as you may be suitable for other upcoming opportunities.

Our commitment to inclusion

We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly candidates from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities and people with disabilities, who remain underrepresented within the conservation and environmental sector. We also warmly welcome applications from people returning to work after a career break. Sponsorship is available.

We're happy to discuss flexible working arrangements and reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process

Join a passionate, collaborative team committed to creating lasting environmental impact.
