Water is our planet’s life-giving force. But the water needed to keep us healthy, to produce our food and energy, to support commerce and maintain ecosystems is too often threatened by poor management and short term decision-making which prioritises profits over people and the environment.
Water Witness International is a charity which works to improve the way that rivers, streams, lakes and aquifers in developing countries are managed. We carry out targeted research and advocacy to deepen understanding, share knowledge and ensure accountability to advance a fair, secure and sustainable water future for all.
We are seeking to appoint a well-organised, self-motivated, and dedicated individual to support the Director of Corporate Services with a broad range of financial duties and to support colleagues across the wider organisation, including our offices in Africa.
S/he will be responsible for the financial management processes, ensuring compliance and supporting financial planning and reporting. Duties will include recording income and expenditure, arranging payment of invoices, supporting financial audits, programme finance reporting, fundraising applications, and providing financial support to the Senior Leadership and other staff.
The Finance Officer will be based in our Edinburgh headquarters. Some hybrid working and international travel may be required. If you are looking for an exciting opportunity to use your experience and skills to support positive change in the world, then we urge you to apply.
