Finance & Fiduciary Trustee
(Voluntary Trustee Role)
The Noah's Ark Foundation
Location: United Kingdom (Board meetings primarily virtual)
Commitment: Approximately 10-12 days per year
Remuneration: Voluntary Trustee Position (reasonable expenses associated with duties reimbursed)
Help Shape the Future of Global Wildlife Conservation
The Noah's Ark Foundation is a developing international conservation charity dedicated to protecting endangered and IUCN Red Listed species through habitat protection, science, education, community engagement, and wildlife security initiatives.
As we establish our founding Board of Trustees, we are seeking an experienced finance professional to join the Board as a Finance & Fiduciary Trustee.
This is not an operational finance role. It is a strategic governance position, helping ensure the Foundation maintains the highest standards of financial stewardship, accountability and regulatory compliance as it grows.
The Role
As a Trustee, you will share collective responsibility for the governance and long-term success of the Foundation.
