A rare opportunity has arisen at MannionDaniels and we are seeking an enthusiatic and passionate Fiduciary Risk Manager to work with our unique organisation.

Our fiduciary risk team seeks to ensure that the international aid funds that we manage are used for the intended purposes, achieve value for money and are properly accounted for. To achieve this, the team completes due diligence on prospective grantees, analyses the financial reporting and forecasts of grant holders, and works to prevent and investigate fraud across the portfolio.

This Fiduciary Risk Manager (FRM) role provides leadership and oversight across the UK Aid grant portfolio to implement the fiduciary risk management strategy through effective line management of a team of officers. The role manages fiduciary risk and due diligence work streams and ensures that the financial management of grants is in keeping with acceptable standards.

Future opportunities to bid to manage other funds and to partake in in consultancy projects will require a core team of PFM and fiduciary risk management specialists and the FRM will perform an important role in managing this expertise alongside other key staff. To this end the FRM will have the opportunity to undertake some business development work and international consultancy.

International travel is expected in this post.
