Are you an accomplished finance executive looking to combine strategic financial leadership with meaningful climate impact?
We're seeking an exceptional Chief Financial Officer to join the executive team of a mission-driven international organisation working to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, climate-resilient future. This is a rare opportunity to shape the financial future of a complex, multi-entity organisation as it evolves towards a more diversified and sustainable funding model.
As the organisation's senior finance leader, you will provide strategic oversight of finance while leading key enabling functions including funding operations and facilities. Working closely with the CEO, Board and Executive Leadership Team, you'll help drive organisational resilience, support informed decision-making and ensure robust governance across an international, remote-first environment.
We're looking for someone who can:
- Develop and deliver long-term financial strategy aligned to organisational growth, resilience and impact.

- Strengthen financial resilience through effective governance, controls, risk management and commercial insight.
- Partner with executive leaders to support strategic investment decisions and organisational transformation.
- Lead multidisciplinary teams, fostering collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement.
- Enable high-quality financial reporting, data-driven decision making and operational excellence.
