Finance Business Partner

Altum Consulting is proud to be partnering with an international, remote-first foundation that supports climate, energy and nature programmes through operational infrastructure, strategic funding and grant-making. We are supporting the search for a Finance Business Partner to join a growing global finance team at a time of continued development and change.

The organisation has been through a significant transition in recent years, moving from its previous structure into a new operating model, with new systems, processes and ways of working being embedded across finance and global operations. This role will play an important part in helping budget holders, programme teams and grant-making colleagues navigate that change, while strengthening financial planning, reporting and decision-making across the network.

This is a broad, hands-on role covering the full FP&A cycle, including budgeting, forecasting, grant management, funded reporting, proposal support, project budgets and internal management reporting. The successful candidate will work closely with the FP&A and wider finance team, acting as a key point of contact for colleagues across all programmes. This is a remote position that can be based in most locations, with salary adjusted to reflect cost of living.

Key duties will include:

• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and internal management reporting across programmes and central teams
• Assisting with project budgets, grant budgets, funded reports and financial inputs for proposals
• Working with budget holders to help them understand financial processes, responsibilities and performance
• Supporting month-end processes, including funding source allocations and reporting requirements
• Helping to review grant budgets and financial reports from grantees
• Providing clear and accessible finance guidance to non-finance colleagues
• Supporting training for budget holders and communicating process or system changes across the organisation
• Contributing to financial due diligence for grantees, consultants and service providers
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across time zones in a fully remote, international environment

The ideal candidate will:

• Be part-qualified, newly qualified or qualified by experience
• Bring experience in finance, management accounting, FP&A or a similar finance business partnering role
• Ideally have some exposure to grant management, project budgeting, funded reporting or charity/non-profit finance
• Be confident preparing or reviewing management reports, budgets and financial analysis
• Have strong Excel skills and be comfortable working with finance systems and planning tools
• Communicate clearly and confidently with finance and non-finance stakeholders
• Be comfortable acting as a visible representative of the finance team, including delivering guidance or training
• Be organised, proactive and able to manage a varied workload across multiple programmes and priorities
• Enjoy working in a collaborative, values-led and international environment

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop as a finance business partner within a growing global team. The role offers broad exposure across FP&A, grants, reporting and programme finance, with the chance to support colleagues across an international network working on some of the most urgent climate and environmental challenges.

The role is fully remote, with candidates required to work within seven hours either side of European time. The UK salary is c. £41,000, with equivalent local benchmarking applied where relevant.

Altum Consulting is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
