About Resource Justice Network
Resource Justice Network (RJN) is the world's largest civil society network advocating for just and equitable governance of the planet's natural resources.
Growing out of the Publish What You Pay campaign, the member-led network now brings together over 1,000 organisations in more than 50 countries — primarily in the Global South, where extractive and energy industries operate.
With two decades of experience securing transparency, accountability and justice in the oil, gas and mining sectors, RJN works at every level, from frontline communities to global policy, towards a vision of shared prosperity on a thriving planet: societies governing their natural resources in just and equitable ways, in harmony with the planet.
Having undergone significant transformation, notably the launch of a new organisational strategy, Strategy 2030, Resource Justice Network is seeking an exceptional Director of Finance & Operations to join a passionate, highly capable, Senior Leadership Team and play a pivotal role in shaping the next chapter of a global, member-led movement.
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Director of Finance & Operations will be a trusted strategic advisor to both the Executive Director and Global Board, with responsibility for stewardship of the organisation’s finances and management of funding in a complex, ever-evolving, landscape.
Whilst the role retains responsibility for Operations, you'll be supported by an experienced Head of Operations who leads day-to-day operational delivery. You'll also be supported by a highly capable Management Accountant and Grants & Compliance Accountant, enabling you to drive strategic financial direction while also overseeing and delivering the statutory responsibilities of the role too.
Key Responsibilities

· Ensure excellent stewardship of restricted donor funding and organisational reserves.
· Lead and develop the finance function, encompassing a highly capable Management Accountant and Grants & Compliance Accountant.
· Oversee the organisation's banking and cash management.
· Lead the annual audit, acting as the main point of contact for external auditors.
· Support the Head of Operations in overseeing organisational operations and governance.
· Produce clear, insightful financial reporting that enables effective decision-making.
· Maintain robust financial controls, compliance and organisational accountability across an international operating environment.
The successful candidate will have:
· A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or UK-recognised equivalent).
· Experience operating as the number one in finance, supporting executive and non-executive directors
· Significant experience working in an international donor-funded organisation, with a strong understanding of restricted donor funding and grant management.
· Experience working across diverse countries, cultures and governance structures.
· Proven ability to build effective relationships with Boards, Executive teams and non-finance stakeholders.
· Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex financial information into clear, practical insight.
· A collaborative leadership style, sound judgement and the confidence to provide constructive challenge.
· Experience overseeing operational functions such as HR, governance or IT would be advantageous but is not essential.
Salary & Benefits
· Salary of £90,374.
· 8% employer pension contribution.
· 40 days annual leave, inclusive of public holidays.
· Hybrid working, with attendance at the London office one day per week.
· The opportunity to help shape the future of an internationally respected organisation making a tangible difference across more than 50 countries.
