- Support process improvement and system changes as part of a wider finance transformation.
About you
We are seeking a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with experience in finance business partnering or management accounting, ideally within an international NGO, policy institute, or other research-led, grant-funded environment.
You will bring:
- Strong experience in budgeting, forecasting and reporting.
