• Lead the automation of recurring financial reports and build dashboards that give decision-makers clearer visibility into performance and emerging risks.
• Develop and maintain finance standard operating procedures, reviewing workflows and strengthening documentation to improve consistency and efficiency.
• Drive the annual budgeting cycle, consolidating operational budgets, preparing variance analyses, and supporting reforecasts and scenario modelling.
• Act as a go-to resource for departments and system users, offering guidance on financial reporting, analytics, and system-related matters.

• A minimum of seven years of relevant professional experience, including hands-on work in treasury management, financial planning, and management reporting.
• Proven ability to support and enhance ERP systems and financial reporting tools, with experience in dashboarding, business intelligence, or reporting automation considered a strong plus.
• Expert-level Excel and financial modelling skills, along with familiarity with reporting and visualisation tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability, with the judgment to interpret complex financial data and translate it into clear, actionable insights.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and explaining technical issues in plain language.
• A continuous improvement mindset, with the ability to manage competing priorities and tight deadlines without losing accuracy.
• Experience in donor-funded or international development settings is an added advantage, as is a demonstrated capacity for systems thinking, collaborative teamwork, and results-oriented leadership.
