Lead financial stewardship during a critical period of change
A well-established, mission-driven organisation working at the forefront of climate and environmental impact across Europe is seeking an Interim Chief Financial Officer to lead its finance function through a period of transition and organisational change.
Operating across multiple European jurisdictions, the organisation plays a key role in shaping policy, influencing decision-makers, and delivering practical solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. As activity and impact continue to scale, strong financial leadership is essential.
This interim role offers the opportunity to bring stability, rigour and clarity to the finance function while supporting senior leadership and trustees through a complex and evolving operating context.
The role
Reporting into the executive leadership team, the Interim Chief Financial Officer will have responsibility for financial operations, control, compliance and reporting across multiple charitable entities in Europe.
You will lead and develop a small, cross-border finance team, oversee external providers, and ensure that robust systems, processes and governance are in place to support the organisation’s mission and growth.
Key responsibilities include:
Financial management & control

Maintain and strengthen a robust financial control framework

Lead budgeting, forecasting, month-end and year-end processes

Oversee accurate and timely financial processing across multiple entities
-
Monitor grant-level and project-level financial activity, analysing and explaining variances

Lead external audit processes and manage relationships with auditors
-
Ensure compliance with charity, regulatory, tax and VAT requirements across jurisdictions

Reporting & insight

-
Manage third-party accounting and payroll providers against agreed service standards
-
Foster a collaborative, inclusive culture and strong relationships with non-finance colleagues
-
Work closely with income generation and programme teams to maintain oversight of funding and income
About you
You will be a qualified accountant with significant experience in senior finance roles, ideally within an international non-profit or mission-driven environment. You will be comfortable operating in complex, international settings and bringing structure during periods of change.
You will bring:
-
Strong technical accounting and financial management expertise
-
Experience of charity or non-profit governance, audit and regulatory compliance
-
A hands-on, solutions-focused approach combined with strategic judgement
-
Confidence engaging with senior leaders, boards and external stakeholders
-
Experience leading and developing finance teams across borders
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to apply your financial leadership to work that has real-world impact — supporting an organisation influencing climate policy, environmental justice and sustainable finance across Europe.

Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for an exceptional Director of Fundraising and Communication who will lead our fundraising and communications with vision and purpose, helping us grow our reach, deepen our impact and amplify our voice. You’ll be joining a people-centred, mission-driven team, united by a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference. At a time when vulnerable young people face increasing challenges, our work has never been more urgent. If you’re motivated by impact and driven by purpose, this is a good opportunity to contribute to lasting change.
You will be stepping into a well-established and highly effective organisation, but one that remains energised by innovation and continuous improvement. We actively welcome fresh thinking and new approaches that help us evolve and enhance our work.
What will you do?
This is a pivotal moment to join JET as we build on fourteen years of impact and enter a new chapter in our journey. We have ambitious plans to expand our reach and influence, and we’re seeking someone who can help us strengthen our funding base and sharpen our message.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will lead and develop our fundraising team, shaping a cross-stream strategy and an integrated communications plan. You’ll be responsible for setting the strategic direction for fundraising, communications and events across the organisation. By doing so you will raise JET’s national profile, grow our supporter base and significantly increase income to support programme expansion.
You’ll bring strong experience across multiple fundraising streams, with a proven track record of securing significant multi-year funding and building lasting relationships with funders—both individuals and organisations. Alongside leading our fundraising efforts, you’ll take ownership of our brand, ensuring clarity and consistency in our messaging, helping partners tell our story, and securing positive media coverage.
You’ll lead the development of campaigns, fundraising and marketing activities, and digital engagement that not only enhance our national profile but also drive supporter engagement and income growth.
This is a home-based role, with travel required to and within the regions where we operate, including attendance at key events.
About you
You will provide strategic leadership across fundraising, communications, marketing and events. Your work will be closely aligned with JET’s five-year strategy, enabling continued growth in funding and programme delivery.
You’ll bring a wealth of experience in leading fundraising and communications at a strategic level, with a strong understanding of the sector and a track record of securing and sustaining major gifts and partnerships. You’ll be adept at managing integrated campaigns across multiple channels and growing income through sustainable funding models.
Your leadership style will be collaborative and empowering, with the ability to build high-performing teams and foster a culture of accountability and innovation. You’ll be a confident communicator, able to inspire and influence, with excellent relationship-building skills and a strategic mindset.
Above all, you’ll be passionate about JET’s mission to empower young people facing adversity. You’ll be a credible ambassador, committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and driven by the desire to make a meaningful difference.
Across the JET team we cultivate a culture of inclusion that respects individual strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team – one that makes better decisions, drives innovation, and delivers better outcomes for our young people. We welcome applicants whatever your background and whatever your stage in life, so if you are returning to the workforce after a period away, or even seeking a change of pace, please get in touch.
