Use your finance skills to support Feba’s mission and growth strategy to inspire more of the world’s least reached people to follow Jesus.
About us
At Feba, we are passionate about God’s mission and the creative use of radio and audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in contexts considered closed, where people might not hear the gospel by any other means or where it’s difficult to be a Christian. These people probably won’t be reached without us, and radio and audio media provide a way of reaching them at scale.
About our development
Since we were established 65 years ago as a shortwave radio ministry much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.
We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local people with training, expertise and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in a listener’s ‘heart language’ - and to follow up in-person wherever possible.
Our locally-led approach, in line with best-practice in Christian mission, is having greater and more enduring impact, and has enabled our work to expand far beyond our original focus on South Asia to countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
About the role
Feba now seeks a Head of Finance and Financial Strategy to provide financial leadership and forward-thinking strategic input at a time of stability, financial strength and planned growth. This role will lead on reviewing and modernising financial processes and systems, developing and delivering strategic initiatives for good financial stewardship, planning new income-generation projects and helping to strengthen long-term financial sustainability beyond the next 10 years.
About you
We are seeking a strategically minded finance leader to bring new skills, rigour and energy to the management and oversight of our finances. You will bring knowledge of investment principles, strong technical accounting expertise, and a clear understanding of modern, effective financial systems and processes. You will be a committed follower of Christ and passionate about global mission.
If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you. For more details including how to apply please see the appointment details attached.
Closing date 3rd December.

About Corporate Performance
A growing number of companies and financial institutions are seeking to mitigate their impacts on nature. But many have made commitments that are not being met, and others are failing to take any action at all. We hold to account through our Forest 500 project, assessing the policies and performance of influential companies and financial institutions. With our suite of Deforestation-free Finance Guidance and a forthcoming new tool, DEFT Pathway, we provide tools and data for financial institutions and investors to support effective engagement with high-risk companies.

By speaking and representing Global Canopy at events you will ensure our methodology and data is shared openly and delivers impact.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the Corporate Performance (CP) research team, maintaining accountability for technical quality assurance of our data, process and findings across three of Global Canopy’s flagship projects: Forest 500+ (including Floresta 250), Forest IQ and DEFT Pathway, as well as Deforestation Free-Finance Guidance

* Planning & Operations: Develop and manage annual operational plans and cross-organisational calendars, manage content of Board meeting agendas and decision-making processes, drive lesson-learning and Secretariat-wide initiatives, and work with the CEO on identifying possible new Elders and supporting their induction.
* Programme Support: Assist Director of Programmes with planning, impact reporting, and lesson learning across a team of 11.
* External Relations: Oversee stakeholder engagement and partnership commitments, and support CEO and Directors to build and maintain priority relationships.
The Head of Strategy and Planning will require the following to be successful in the role:
* 8-12 years' background in fields relevant to The Elders' work (e.g. diplomacy, international development, civil society advocacy etc), ideally including at least one of the Elders' programmes or cross-cutting commitments
* Experience working in (or at least on) more than one country (including ideally in the global South)
* Experience contributing to (and ideally coordinating) corporate strategy and operational/business planning in a complex international organisation
* Strong analytical skills, including working with data
* Excellent written English, including experience editing multi-author documents
* A strong personal commitment to the mission and values of The Elders
* A flexible style and willingness to work in a small, collaborative team
The Elders operate a hybrid working policy. On average, you will be in the office a minimum of about two days a week, including for key meetings, including weekly team meetings and monthly all-staff in-days. Flexibility is required and you may at times need to be in the office at short notice.

Role Title: Senior Resilience and Climate Adviser
Salary: £48,166 to 49,558
Location: London-Hybrid
Tenure: Full Time, Permanent
ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We work with our partners and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want
Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies?
Are you committed to climate justice, women’s rights and shifting power to communities most affected by the climate crisis?
Do you have substantial experience in resilience and climate programming ?
Then we'd love to hear from you!
ActionAid UK is looking for a passionate and experienced Senior Resilience and Climate Adviser to join our Women, Peace and Security team. This is a unique opportunity to shape and strengthen our work on climate justice and resilience, bringing a distinctly feminist, anti-racist and decolonial perspective to one of the most important areas of global humanitarian and development work.
In this role, you will help drive ActionAid UK’s strategic thinking on resilience and climate across our programmes, research, and policy engagement. You will play a central part in defining how ActionAid UK positions itself within these thematic areas, supporting both UK-based influence and the wider international federation. A key aspect of your work will involve developing strong alliances across the sector, guiding organisational thinking on emerging issues such as anticipatory action and risk-based financing, and ensuring our approaches consistently reflect our values of shifting power and promoting women’s leadership. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across business development, providing technical insight to shape high-quality proposals and support strategic partnerships that align with ActionAid’s commitments to anti-racism and climate justice. You will also contribute to designing new concepts, strengthening tender submissions, and supporting the growth of innovative, values-driven programming.
Across programme quality and implementation, you will be a specialist resource for teams working in humanitarian and development contexts, offering targeted technical guidance that supports country programmes to deliver to ActionAid’s humanitarian signature: shifting power, accountability to affected communities, and women-led resilience. You will help shape monitoring, evaluation, learning and reporting processes, ensuring the organisation is continually improving how it generates and uses evidence.
Your work will also extend deeply into research and policy, where you will help build strategic research partnerships, promote decolonial approaches to evidence generation, and support the publication and sharing of learning within academic, governmental and practitioner spaces. You will inform policy positions and contribute to key engagements with governmental actors, including FCDO & global climate policy spaces (UNFCCC), always working in close partnership with ActionAid’s advocacy and policy teams. This role also plays a vital part in ActionAid’s campaigning work. You will provide leadership for the UK chapter of the Federation’s Global Climate Justice Campaign, chairing the Steering Committee, supporting research that underpins the campaign’s messaging, and helping to deliver effective collaboration with ActionAid Federation Members. As needed, you will act as a spokesperson to amplify ActionAid’s climate justice messages to the media and the wider public.
Externally, you will represent ActionAid within UK and global spaces, building relationships with like-minded organisations and identifying opportunities to elevate ActionAid’s influence and visibility on resilience and climate justice.
To succeed in this role, you will bring substantial experience of working in humanitarian contexts on resilience and climate programming, ideally with an international organisation. You should have a deep understanding of humanitarian architecture, key donors, and external standards, as well as hands-on experience with resilience approaches such as disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, sustainable agriculture or natural resource management. A strong grounding in feminist and human-rights-based approaches is essential, along with a clear understanding of anti-racism and what it means to decolonise aid in practice. You should be comfortable supporting teams, conducting analysis, generating research, communicating complex ideas with clarity, and representing an organisation publicly. The role will also require regular overseas travel, sometimes to insecure environments at short notice.
A postgraduate degree, experience in Africa, Asia or the Middle East, additional languages and academic publications are all beneficial but not essential.
If you are committed to feminist principles, passionate about climate justice, and looking for a role where your expertise can influence real systems change, ActionAid UK would love to hear from you.
This role requires regular travel into central London for meetings, parliamentary engagement and external events. Some international travel is also expected.
