Finance Director

Introduction

As a Christian faith-based NGO, Medair embodies the compassion of Jesus Christ, as we relieve human suffering in some of the world’s most remote and devastated places. In this time of global pandemic, Medair’s humanitarian mission has never been more critical. Medair reaches out to people in need, saves lives, and restores hope in crisis-affected communities. We believe the image of God lives in each person we serve.

Medair is seeking a Finance Director who will be a member of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and will lead the organisation’s finances with integrity to face the challenges and opportunities of the future. While directly reporting and accountable to the CEO, the Finance Director is a true team-player in the ELT, especially working closely together with the International Programme Director. In close cooperation with the ELT, the Finance Director will lead, support and guide all departments, country programmes, affiliate offices, and Medair teams in our financial management. The Financial Director also has a dotted reporting line to the Chair of the Audit, Compliance and Finance (ACF) Committee of Medair’s International Board of Trustees, and provides a quarterly and annual financial reporting to the CEO and ACF Committee.

The Finance Director will be in control of Medair’s financial condition, assessing our organisational performance against both annual budgets and long-term strategic objectives. We are seeking a gifted leader and team player who will strengthen organisational budgeting and planning, financial risk management, accounting and financial controls, cash and treasury management, and financial reporting. While positively collaborating with the ELT colleagues, the Finance Director will mentor and develop a direct team of managers and build trusting and motivating relationships with geographically diverse teams.

The Finance Director position offers major responsibility and influence across our worldwide operations, creating a critical platform for further improving Medair’s financial sustainability and impact within the humanitarian sector.
