Global Dialogue is an international philanthropy support organisation partnering with funders to advance rights, equity and diversity. Independent in status and global in reach, we provide funder networks, collaboratives and their partners with practical support and technical expertise to create lasting change.

We seek an experienced, hands-on and strategic Head of Finance to build and lead Global Dialogue’s finance function, ensuring efficient and compliant management of our finances, while helping to shape robust and effective systems and processes to ensure our work is delivered to the highest standards of good practice in the charity sector.

Hours: This role is full-time (35 hours/week) although we’d be happy to discuss an appointment at 80% (28 hours/week). We are open to negotiating a working pattern that works for the successful candidate and for Global Dialogue.

Contract: Permanent

Location: Home Based

Salary: This role has been benchmarked at a UK salary of £67,000 (pro rata for a part-time position).

Global Dialogue offers a range of benefits including 25 days’ annual leave plus public holidays (pro rata), a flexible working policy, and personal development leave. We contribute 6% to our workplace pension (on qualifying earnings). 

Introducing Global Dialogue

We currently host seven large networks and collaborations, serving more than one hundred independent funders, including Ariadne, the network of European funders for social change and human rights; the Funders Initiative for Civil Society (FICS); the International Education Funders Group (IEFG); Migration Exchange; Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace (PSJP) and Hamrah, an initiative to strengthen the resilience and increase the impact of a cohort of Afghan civil society organisations in exile. We’re proud to have incubated several influential, award-winning charities, including Each Other (formerly RightsInfo), IMIX and The Five Foundation.

Global Dialogue has just completed year one of an ambitious three-year strategy which includes aspirations to be a trusted partner in philanthropy support, with an organisational approach that is consistent with our mission – endeavouring to practice rights, equity and diversity in our operations as well as pursuing it through our programmes. We want to be more visibly active in pursuing our mission, elevating the work of the programmes we host, and taking and making opportunities to promote rights, equity and diversity in philanthropy more broadly.

Overview

To date, Global Dialogue’s finances has been overseen by an external accountancy firm. Over the last eighteen months, we have been working towards bringing our finance function in house. This role presents an exciting opportunity for an experienced accountant to take the reins and complete the development and roll out of our internal finance function.

The Head of Finance is a new role within the organisation that is both strategic and handson. In the first phase, the postholder will be required to roll up their sleeves and, with the support of Global Dialogue’s Finance Officer, get stuck into the detail of financial administration, including overseeing twice monthly pay runs, monthly and quarterly closes, and other day-to-day financial management tasks. Alongside this, the role will lead on bringing the finance function fully in house, eventually taking on full responsibility for the preparation of management and statutory accounts, cashflow and FX management, and budgeting and forecasting processes. This role will play a key coaching role for the Finance Officer, with a view to eventually delegating all bookkeeping tasks. The postholder will also be responsible for ensuring finance systems are innovative, robust and fit for purpose, and will be a business partner to our hosted programmes, providing advice on compliance and strategic matters.

Global Dialogue’s role as an international fiscal host means that we have a complex financial model, receive income from diverse streams and manage a high number of restricted funds. Our programmes lead cutting edge work, which means that our work is varied and fastpaced, requiring frequent innovation. Overall, this role provides an exciting opportunity to join a growing human rights organisation at a crucial juncture in our journey.
