Job description

Location: London (hybrid, 3 days/week in the office)

Contract: permanent, full-time

Are you an accomplished finance leader looking to shape the future of a global organisation?

The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) represents nearly 20 million transport workers through more than 700 affiliated trade unions in over 150 countries. Working across every transport sector, we campaign for better rights, safer workplaces and fairer conditions for transport workers worldwide.

We are seeking an exceptional Finance Director to provide strategic financial leadership for one of the world's leading international trade union federations.

Working closely with the General Secretary, Executive Board and elected officials, and reporting to the Director of Operations, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the ITF remains financially sustainable, resilient and well-governed.

This is an opportunity to shape the financial strategy of a complex international organisation, lead an experienced finance function and provide trusted advice that influences decisions across the organisation.

The Role

As Finance Director, you will lead the ITF's global finance function and oversee the financial stewardship of the ITF Group and its parent organisation, subsidiaries and branches.

Working across a complex international organisation, you will ensure the organisation's financial sustainability while providing strategic leadership across financial planning, governance, investments, compliance and organisational performance.

You will help translate organisational priorities into long term sustainable financial strategies, providing high-quality financial insight that supports effective decision-making by the General Secretary, Executive Board, Congress and senior leadership.

Alongside leading an experienced finance team, you will drive continuous improvement across financial systems, reporting and controls, ensuring the organisation remains agile, compliant and well positioned to support its membership.

What you'll do

As Finance Director, you will:

  • Lead the strategic financial direction of the ITF, ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
  • Develop financial strategies that support organisational priorities, future growth and organisational resilience.
  • Provide trusted financial advice and strategic reports to the General Secretary, Executive Board, Congress, elected officials and senior leadership.
  • Lead treasury management, including oversight of the ITF's investment portfolio, reserves and fixed assets.
  • Ensure robust financial governance through effective internal controls, financial reporting and regulatory compliance.
  • Oversee statutory financial reporting, tax compliance and relationships with external auditors, ITF lay auditors and other independent auditors.
  • Coordinate the development of global financial policies, standards and financial management guidance across the organisation.
  • Strengthen financial accountability and governance across the ITF's eleven regional offices.
  • Lead the continuous development of modern financial systems that support organisational performance, decision-making and future growth.
  • Provide strategic financial analysis to support major organisational initiatives, investment decisions and long-term planning.
  • Lead and develop a high-performing international finance function, creating a culture of collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement.
  • Work collaboratively across the organisation to identify opportunities to improve financial effectiveness, efficiency and value for money.

About You

You will be a strategic and hands on finance leader who combines professional credibility with sound judgement, collaborative leadership and the ability to influence at the highest levels of an international organisation.

You will bring substantial experience of leading financial matters  within a complex organisation and will be equally comfortable discussing long-term strategy with senior leaders as you are ensuring strong financial governance and compliance.

You will have:

  • A professional accounting qualification and membership of a UK or internationally recognised accounting body (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or international equivalent).
  • Significant post-qualification experience in senior finance leadership roles.
  • Extensive experience of board governance, audit, treasury management, investment oversight and risk management.
  • Strong experience of financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting and financial control.
  • Experience of ensuring compliance with UK financial, tax and regulatory requirements within a UK-regulated organisation.
  • Experience leading finance within a complex organisation, ideally with international operations and multiple jurisdictions.
  • Experience of developing financial strategy that supports organisational growth and long-term sustainability.
  • A successful track record of leading organisational change and continuous improvement.
  • Experience of building, motivating and developing high-performing professional teams.
  • Excellent communication, presentation and influencing skills, with the ability to explain complex financial issues to a wide range of audiences.
  • Strong digital skills and experience of modern financial systems and Microsoft Office applications.
  • A willingness to travel internationally and work flexibly when required.

Desirable

  • Experience working within an international not-for-profit, membership or trade union environment.
  • Experience working with donors and donor compliance requirements.

Why join the ITF?

This is more than a Finance Director role.

You'll help shape the financial future of an organisation that works every day to improve the lives of transport workers across the globe.

You'll join a collaborative senior leadership team, influence strategic decision-making at the highest level and lead a finance function that enables the ITF to deliver its mission with confidence, integrity and impact.

In return, you'll have the opportunity to work internationally, contribute to meaningful organisational change and play a central role in ensuring the long-term success of one of the world's leading global trade union federations.

Our Commitment

The ITF is committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
