REF-222 895
Mission Without Borders International (MWBI) is a Christian organisation working in six of the poorest countries in Eastern Europe, raising funds through twelve organizations.
We are an international network of Christians who journey with the poor and marginalized, bringing practical and spiritual support with hope of a better future, enabling and encouraging people to lift themselves out of poverty, always sharing the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. We serve people without regard to their religion or ethnic background.
We want to see lives transformed, across generations, with hope for the future. Consequently, we work with families; with children, living in both communities and government institutions; and with the elderly, who are often the most isolated in poor communities. We journey with them over a five-year period to ensure we develop sustainable solutions and always in partnership with the local Church and a network of Coordinators who live in their local communities.
This is a pivotal moment for MWBI.
Mission Without Borders International is embarking on a season of renewal and growth. We have successfully implemented a new CRM system across our 12 affiliates who are scoped with raising financial and prayer support. The next phase of our systems upgrade will involve rolling out the new CRM system to our 6 field country operations in 2026. And then a new finance system. All of this with the goal of creating dashboards of data which provide real-time insights into the mission’s consolidated financial position and inform strategic decision-making. It is into this exciting new stage of the Mission that we seek a Director of Finance.
You will be a Christian, qualified accountant with proven experience as an international finance leader, having implemented new systems and worked across multiple jurisdictions. Experience of the charity/humanitarian sector and an understanding of the complexities of in-country programme management would be beneficial. You will have an open and servant-hearted leadership style that leads through team building and a drive to see excellence delivered through strong and transparent working relationships. You will be passionate about our vision to reach people for Christ.
