Christian Aid - Head of Finance

Christian Aid is a global movement of people, churches, and local organisations. Our mission is eradicating poverty, standing together in solidarity with our most marginalised global neighbours, of all faiths and none. Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive.

Our partnerships with institutional funders, trusts and foundations enable us to deliver our programmes, with almost half of our funding coming from these supporters. We work with some of the world's most vulnerable communities in 29 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean. When emergencies strike in these countries, we are there before, during, and after to save lives and support people in the long term. We also work in other countries and regions through the ACT Alliance and our other partners, particularly around humanitarian emergencies such as the refugee crisis.

We are currently seeking a Head of Finance who will combine strategic financial leadership with operational excellence, strengthening financial insight, controls and systems while enabling effective decision-making and supporting new business opportunities across a complex international organisation. This positions reports to the Director of Finance & Governance and will work closely with the Board and Executive team.

Candidates should be qualified accountants, with a strong track record of leading international finance functions, and a comprehensive knowledge of finance within the charity and development sectors. An established and capable team leader, this individual must be highly adept at effectively navigating and partnering with a range of different working cultures. 

The Head of Finance will be based in London, on a hybrid basis. Applications should consist of a CV and covering letter. The deadline for receipt of applications is midday GMT on Friday, 25 November.
