Help shape the future of international development.

Location: Hybrid (minimum one day per month in our London office – with the occasional need to attend additional in-person meetings)

 Reports to: Chief Executive

Finance isn't just about numbers. It's about making change possible.

At Bond, we believe a more just and equitable world is possible.

As the UK network for organisations working in international development, we bring together more than 300 civil society organisations united by a shared ambition: to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice around the world. We champion the sector, influence policy, strengthen organisations and create the connections that enable our members to achieve greater impact together.

International development is changing.

Funding is becoming more complex. Expectations are growing. Organisations are navigating increasing uncertainty while responding to global crises that demand collaboration, innovation and resilience.

That is why we're looking for an exceptional Director of Finance & Resources.

This is a rare opportunity to join our Senior Management Team and help shape the future of Bond at a pivotal moment in our journey.

A leadership role with purpose

As our Director of Finance & Resources, you'll do far more than lead finance.

You'll help ensure Bond remains financially resilient, operationally strong and strategically focused so that we can continue supporting the organisations working to create lasting global change.

Working closely with our CEO, Trustees and senior colleagues, you'll provide the financial leadership, organisational insight and strategic challenge that enables confident decision-making across the organisation.

You'll oversee Finance, Planning, Operations, HR and IT, ensuring the systems, people and financial governance behind our work are as strong as the mission we exist to serve.

What you'll be doing

You'll lead:

• Our long-term financial strategy and organisational planning.
• Annual budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.
• Financial sustainability across both restricted and unrestricted funding.
• Board reporting and support to our Finance, Audit & Risk Committee.
• Risk management, company secretarial and organisational compliance.
• Finance, Operations and HR leadership.
• Grant budgeting, reporting and organisational cost recovery.
• Strategic planning that enables teams to maximise their impact.

This is a role for someone equally comfortable presenting to Trustees, supporting colleagues with complex funding proposals, reviewing organisational risk, or rolling up their sleeves to solve operational challenges.

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced finance leader who understands that great organisations need both strong financial stewardship and ambitious thinking.

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with senior leadership experience and an ability to balance strategic oversight with practical delivery.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience leading finance within a complex organisation.
• Strong understanding of charity finance and grant management.
• Experience working with Boards and Trustees.
• Outstanding planning, analytical and leadership skills.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build trusted relationships across an organisation.

Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to equity, inclusion and creating positive change. We're looking for someone who sees finance not as a control function, but as a catalyst for organisational impact.

Why Bond?

Everything we do is rooted in collaboration.

You'll join an organisation that believes lasting change happens when people come together, share expertise and challenge one another to do better.

Alongside meaningful work, we offer:

• Hybrid working with flexibility built around trust.
• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, a day off for your birthday and additional Christmas closure.
• 7% employer pension contribution.
• Learning and development opportunities.
• Comprehensive health and wellbeing support.
• A welcoming, inclusive and values-driven culture where everyone can thrive.

Join us

This is more than a finance leadership role. It's an opportunity to help strengthen the organisations working to build a fairer, more sustainable world.

If you're looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful change on a national and global scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a supporting statement explaining why you'd like to join Bond and what you'll bring to the role.

We are partnering exclusively with Bryony Thomas at Allen Lane. For an informal conversation about the role, get in touch via the agency website.

Plan International UK is a global children’s charity striving for an equal world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.

We bring people together to protect children’s rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes. And we won’t stop until we are all equal.

We are looking for an experienced Portfolio Manager to join our International Programmes Directorate and play a pivotal role in supporting high-impact humanitarian and development programmes across West and Central Africa (WACA) region.

This is an exciting opportunity for a programme management professional with strong donor-funded programme experience to oversee a diverse portfolio operating in some of the region's most complex and dynamic contexts. Working closely with Plan International Country Offices, regional teams, technical advisers, finance colleagues, donors and external partners, you will support the successful delivery of programmes that advance children's rights and gender equality, while ensuring compliance with donor requirements and organisational standards.

As a key focal point for Country Offices across the WACA region, you will provide strategic oversight and support throughout the programme cycle, from start-up to close-out. You will monitor programme performance, manage risks, coordinate donor reporting, facilitate learning and help teams navigate delivery challenges to achieve lasting outcomes for children and communities. You will also build and maintain strong relationships with institutional donors and other stakeholders, helping to strengthen Plan International's reputation as a trusted partner across the region.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work across the humanitarian-development nexus, supporting programmes that respond to humanitarian crises while delivering long-term development impact.

You'll be highly organised, able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment, and skilled at working collaboratively across diverse teams and cultural contexts. Fluency in French and English is essential, as is the willingness and ability to travel within the region when required, potentially at short notice (up to 30% of working time).

If you are passionate about delivering high-quality programmes that create lasting change for children and young people, and share our commitment to equality, inclusion and girls' rights, we would love to hear from you
