We're supporting a fast-growing international NGO working to save the lives of children by tackling a preventable cause of childhood death. Following a period of significant growth and multi-year philanthropic funding, the organisation is now strengthening its internal finance capability to support delivery across 40+ countries, with further expansion planned.
This is an opportunity for an experienced Finance Officer to work remotely and play a key role in building reliable, well-controlled finance operations during a critical phase of growth. The role sits at the heart of day-to-day finance activity and will be central to the organisation's transition away from outsourced transactional finance. The role is an initial 12-month FTC with plans for it to become permanent.
Key responsibilities:- Prepare, process and record payments, including supplier invoices, partner payments, grants and staff expenses
- Ensure all transactions are appropriately authorised and supported by clear documentation and audit trails
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records across multiple programmes, donors and currencies
- Act as a point of contact for payment and finance queries from partners and internal teams
- Support month-end and year-end processes, including preparing schedules and reconciliations
- Assist with audit preparation and respond to information requests
- Follow and help document finance processes to improve consistency, control and resilience
- Support the gradual transition of bookkeeping work from outsourced providers to in-house
- Experience in a finance administration, accounts assistant or bookkeeping role
- Confident processing payments and maintaining accurate financial records
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to controls and deadlines
- Comfortable using accounting software (e.g. Quick Books, Xero or similar) and spreadsheets
- Able to work independently in a fully remote environment, collaborating across teams and time zones
- Experience in a charity, NGO or donor-funded environment is beneficial but not essential
As above this role is an initial full-time, 12 month contract, with strong potential to become permanent as the finance function continues to mature.
