- Manage cash flow, payments and financial controls across multiple jurisdictions
- Ensure compliance with the relevant regulatory frameworks, including AML, GDPR and international financial regulations
- Improve finance, reporting, systems and operational processes as the organisation grows
Essential experience
- Previous experience as a CFO, Finance Director or equivalent executive finance leader
- Experience within a charity, NGO or international non-profit is essential
- Strong understanding of donor funding, grants, restricted funding and programme-based financial management
- Experience leading finance across multiple international entities and jurisdictions
- Strong knowledge of charity governance, compliance and regulatory requirements

- Comfortable working closely with Boards, Trustees, Executive Teams and external stakeholders
