Our partner, a collaborative platform supporting a network of conservation-focused organisations across Africa, is seeking an experienced finance trainer to design and deliver a high-impact training session for CEOs at an annual partner convention in Southern Africa.
The organisation works with multiple locally-led partners, providing sub-grants alongside tailored capacity strengthening across governance, leadership, finance and operations. As many of the organisations are founder-led, this training will focus on equipping CEOs with the financial knowledge and confidence required to effectively lead and oversee their organisations.
The successful candidate will design and deliver an engaging, practical finance session (c. 3 hours) as part of a wider one-day CEO training programme, tailored to the needs and experience levels of participants.
Responsibilities
Design and deliver an engaging, practical finance training session for non-finance CEOs, tailored to conservation NGOs operating in Africa. The topics they have suggested they would like to cover include:
- Understanding basic financial statements and what they mean for organizational health
- Budgeting and how to effectively review and monitor budgets
- How to manage and engage with a CFO or finance manager without having a technical accounting background
- Key questions CEOs should be asking their finance teams
- Identifying red flags and early warning signs of financial mismanagement
- Practical approaches to fraud prevention and detection, including essential internal controls
- Financial governance and the role of the CEO in ensuring accountability
- Donor compliance and managing restricted funds
- Cash flow management and financial sustainability
- Using financial information to support strategic decision-making
Requirements
- Proven experience designing and delivering finance training for non-finance audiences, ideally at a senior leadership level
- Strong understanding of financial management in NGOs, including donor compliance, restricted funding and financial governance
- Familiarity with the operating context of conservation NGOs in Africa and the associated funding landscape
- Ability to translate technical financial concepts into clear, practical and engaging content
- Strong facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse and senior audiences.
Working arrangements
- The training will take place in Namibia in July 2026.
- The finance session will be approximately 3 hours in duration, as part of a one-day CEO training programme
- Flights, accommodation (for the duration of the assignment) and visa costs will be covered
- Opportunity to extend travel at own cost following the event
