Global Financial Controller

As a truly international NGO, with programme teams in Europe, USA and China, we are now looking to recruit a Global Financial Controller to strengthen our finance team.

This role is responsible for supporting the Global Director of Finance in providing a comprehensive finance service across the charity that supports the organisation in meeting its strategic objectives and business plans. The activities include preparing, developing and analysing financial information to allow the organisation to make well-informed decisions to ensure future stability and growth; the effective and efficient provision of transactional financial processing and supporting transformational and organisational change through sound financial planning and governance.

• Provide timely and accurate management information to all relevant stakeholders.

Global Financial Controller Requirements:

We are looking for a qualified, experienced Financial Controller who ideally has experience of a charity and can bring excellent systems and analytical skills to join the team at a time of rapid change.

About Compassion in World Farming International:

Compassion in World Farming International is the leading charity campaigning for farm animal welfare. Our mission is to end factory farming – the biggest form of animal cruelty on the planet and the issue at the centre of many of the world’s biggest challenging debates including climate change and sustainable food production to feed an ever-increasing global population.

Factory farming is often justified as a ‘necessary evil’ to fight the coming food crisis – the need to feed the world. Did you know that globally we produce enough food already to feed 16 billion people? Yet we waste more than half of it, not least in feeding human-edible crops to animals in factory farms who never see pasture, or the light of day, or get to experience their natural behaviours. Our challenge is immense, but our arguments are broad, compelling and we absolutely believe that now is the time for the tide to turn.

The organisation was established by a British farmer, Peter Roberts, who became horrified by the development of modern, intensive factory farming and the growing disconnect between modern agriculture and the well-being of animals and the environment. Today we lead a growing worldwide movement of people concerned about how factory farming mistreats animals, wastes precious resources and utterly fails to meet the needs of the planet’s inhabitants.

Location: The post is based at the Compassion in World Farming International headquarters in Godalming, Surrey (45 minutes from London Waterloo). The office is a 3-minute walk from Godalming mainline train station.

Organisation Overview

Rights and Security International (RSI), formerly Rights Watch (UK), is a human rights organisation that upholds rights in the national security context. For over three decades, initially in Northern Ireland and now globally, RSI has successfully advocated for a rights-based approach to security and held Governments to account for unlawful actions. We envision a world that recognises that our individual freedoms are essential to our collective safety and well-being.

We have received wide acclaim for our work, including the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Human Rights Prize for ‘outstanding civil society action in the defence of human rights in Europe’.

RSI’s mission is increasingly urgent given the stark rise globally in ‘security’ measures that silence human rights defenders, racial justice advocates and environmental activists; disproportionately impact vulnerable and marginalised communities; and hinder peaceful protests. At the same time, the obstacles that victims of security-related abuses face in accessing justice have significantly increased as governments hide behind excessive secrecy.

This year, RSI will establish the Rise Coalition, an informal but active, coordinated and effective international network of civil society organisations that promote human rights and work to end harmful ‘security’ laws and practices.

The Rise Coalition will help human rights groups worldwide push back against excessive security laws and norms, while articulating rights-respecting standards and ideas. The group will serve as a forum for sharing information and coordinating joint advocacy at the national, regional and international levels. In 2021, we will prioritise outreach to potential member organisations based in India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Tunisia, Morocco, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Honduras.

As our Rise Coalition Leader, you will build the network by identifying potential members, conducting outreach, developing RSI’s knowledge about the relevant national contexts and helping the coalition choose and pursue advocacy priorities. You will also help draft reports on the legal and advocacy environments in several priority countries.

This position reports to the Executive Director.

Person Specification:

· Degree in law, human rights, public policy or a related field.

· A minimum of 3-4 years of experience in international human rights advocacy, preferably including at least some experience with rights abuses related to security measures.

· Experience building coalitions at the international, national or grassroots level.

· Experience designing and implementing advocacy plans to achieve law reforms, accountability or an end to abuses.

· Deep experience working with a variety of communities and cultures.

· A record of drafting and publishing human rights analyses, advocacy documents (such as issue briefs for lawmakers or UN submissions) or similar materials.

· An ability to explain complex concepts to the public and advocacy targets in simple and approachable terms.

· A strong commitment diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.

· A strong commitment to working respectfully and sensitively with colleagues as well as a broad range of partners and stakeholders.

Other desirable but optional qualifications include:

· Expertise in one or more of the following areas: racial justice, gender rights or other aspects of equality; migrants’ rights; technology and privacy; or free expression and freedom of association.

· A graduate degree in a relevant field.

· Fluency in a language other than English is a strong plus, although not required.

You must speak and write English fluently.

Application details: If you are interested in this position, please submit the following materials:

(1) Your CV
(2) A cover letter explaining your interest in RSI and how you fulfil the person specification – maximum 2 pages

** You must have a right to work in the UK and plan to be based here**

By submitting your application, you consent to our processing and retention of your personal data to the extent, and for the time period, necessary to consider the application. We will keep your application on file for no more than six months.

Responsibilities:

· Refining the goals, structure and functioning of the Rise Coalition.
