• Collaborate with country teams to develop and implement risk management strategies, including fraud prevention, safeguarding of assets, and compliance with donor requirements.
• Provide clear technical advice and coaching to finance and programme staff, translating complex accounting standards into practical guidance for non-specialists.
• Support the preparation of financial reporting packs for senior management, boards, or donors, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and transparency.
• Conduct field visits to country offices to review procedures, build relationships, and provide hands-on support during periods of change or pressure.
• Contribute to organisational policy updates and training materials related to financial management, internal controls, and risk.
• Act as a trusted point of escalation for finance-related concerns, bringing sound judgement and a collaborative approach to resolving issues.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Qualified Chartered or Certified Accountant (or equivalent recognised professional qualification).
• Substantial experience in financial management, internal controls, risk management, and financial reporting, ideally within an international development or non-profit environment.
• Proven ability to analyse complex financial data, identify weaknesses or risks, and propose practical, proportionate solutions with colleagues.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with confidence delivering technical advice to diverse audiences across cultures.
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, sound judgement, and flexibility to respond to shifting priorities or emergencies.
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly to different country programmes, sometimes at short notice.
• Personal integrity, resilience, and a collaborative mindset, with a clear commitment to Trócaire’s ethos and values.
