About the role

The International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) exists to advance psychoanalysis and is the world’s primary accrediting and regulatory body for the profession. Our mission is to ensure the continued vigour and development of the science of psychoanalysis globally.

Psychoanalysis is both a theory of the human mind and a therapeutic practice. It was founded by Sigmund Freud between 1885-1939 and continues to be developed by psychoanalysts all over the world today. The future of psychoanalysis is widely debated, and the IPA has an important role to play in its continued relevance and success.

On the ground in consulting rooms across the world, our members are achieving huge success by working with the unconscious mind and through therapeutic practice supporting people with mental health challenges to improve their lives. We have a role to support members by fostering and enhancing their sense of participation and belonging to the psychoanalytic community, which is a fascinating and complex challenge given the cultural differences that exist from South America to Europe and North America to Asia.

The culture in our peaceful London office is highly international and multicultural, and people who enjoy working here tend to be interested in the work of psychoanalysts and enjoy working in a diverse culture.

Who we're looking for

As the lead finance professional for the IPA, you’ll be providing advice and information to the Treasurer, Budget and Finance Committee and Board. The role can be transactional and hands-on at times as you must ensure that the IPA meets its financial accountabilities for two incorporations; an English non-profit and a US not-for-profit in Delaware. Working closely with our newly elected Treasurer, who is based in Holland, and supporting the President in South America, you will need to be attentive to their needs and able to operate in service orientated way with people from a range of cultures.

It’s important that you’re a qualified accountant, experienced in managing finance operations including budgeting, income, financial control, governance, people/supplier management and IT.

You’ll also have the ability to think creatively whilst remaining ‘hands on’ and be able to flex between the detail and a medium-term financial perspective.
