Job description

Lead global financial control in an organisation delivering impact worldwide

We're seeking an experienced and strategic finance leader to head a global Financial Control function within a large, complex international organisation operating across multiple countries and currencies.

This is an opportunity to shape and strengthen financial governance at a global level, leading a high-performing team responsible for financial controls, donor audits, compliance and continuous improvement.

You'll work with senior stakeholders across regions and functions to ensure robust financial management, minimise risk and embed best practice across an organisation committed to delivering meaningful impact internationally.

The role

Reporting to the Global Financial Controller, you will lead the global Financial Control and Donor Audit teams, overseeing a team of nine colleagues and partnering with finance leaders across multiple regions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and strengthening the global financial control framework, identifying risks and ensuring timely resolution of control and compliance issues.
  • Driving continuous improvement, standardisation and automation of financial control processes.
  • Leading global donor and award audits, managing relationships with external auditors and key funding partners.
  • Providing strategic insight through analysis of financial performance indicators and risk reporting.
  • Developing policies, procedures and training that build financial capability across global teams.
  • Collaborating with senior stakeholders to embed best practice and support organisational change initiatives.
  • Building and developing a high-performing, collaborative team culture.

About you

You'll be a qualified accountant (or possess equivalent experience) with significant experience leading financial control within a large, complex organisation.

You'll bring:

  • Proven leadership experience in financial control, governance and external audit management.
  • Strong knowledge of donor-funded environments and experience managing donor audits.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
  • Experience driving process improvement, standardisation and automation across geographically dispersed teams.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • A collaborative leadership style with the ability to influence and build relationships across diverse cultures and teams.
  • The ability to thrive in a dynamic, evolving international environment.

Experience within the charity, international development or not-for-profit sector, and within large global multi-currency organisations, would be advantageous.

Why apply?

This is a rare opportunity to combine technical excellence with global impact. You'll play a pivotal role in strengthening financial governance, improving organisational effectiveness and supporting programmes that make a tangible difference worldwide.

We welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds and are committed to building diverse and inclusive teams.
