Job description

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

About you:

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. QuickBooks, 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.
