A mission-driven and impact focused single programme NGO is seeking a Finance Business Partner with strong financial modelling skills for a part-time, fully remote fixed term contract for approximately 4-6 months. The role is to support the Finance Director, HR team, CEO and other stakeholders with business partnering, along with specific financial modelling projects.
The organisation’s mission is to get 3-6 year old children in rural Africa to thrive. They have developed an award-winning Early Childhood Development programme, proven its impact through rigorous evaluation, and scaled it with governments in both Ghana and Uganda. It is currently reaching over 300,000 children per year, and we aim to reach 1 million children per year by 2028. The programme benefits both preschool age children and unlocks the potential of marginalised rural parents.
You will work in a busy finance team based in the UK, Ghana and Uganda. The role can be done fully-remotely from within the UK, and the salary range on offer is circa £50,000 - £60,000 FTE (pro-rata). It is anticipated there will be around 2-3 days work per week for approximately 4-6 months.
Experience within a business partnering / modelling role within the NGO sector would be very useful, but is not essential.
Duties include:
- Work focused on adaptions for new contexts: The programme targets rural communities in Ghana and Uganda. This year the organisation plans to scale to a new country and to test ways to adapt it for this new context. They are also keen to explore whether the programme can be adapted for refugee settings.
- Financial modelling focused on selecting a new country to launch the programme
- Specific cost modelling and fundraising modelling around the corporate sponsorship of the organisation’s radio station project
- Develop and strengthen robust and flexible cost models (including sensitivity analyses/stress testing) to guide decisions around the pace and rate of scale, staffing & resource requirements (HR), ensure value for money and maximise cost efficiencies.
- Develop robust budgets for new and renewal funder applications, considering complexities around funder restrictions, currency exchange and forecast economic conditions.
- Analysis and modelling on organisational procedures & policies and capacity building projects
Requirements:
- Fully or part-qualified ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent
- Demonstrable experience with finance business partnering to a range of stakeholders
- Strong financial modelling skills – ideally in things such as cost analysis, funding analysis etc

- Experience juggling multiple projects at once
- Must be able to start the role quickly - ideally immediately available or with a short notice period
Closing date: Ongoing / ASAP
Interviews: Ongoing
