Head of Global Programme Finance (Charity)

Manchester (with international travel)/Hybrid£55,600 – £83,400 + benefitsPermanent | Charity / INGO sector

Lead global impact. Shape financial strategy. Drive meaningful change.

If you’re a senior finance leader looking to step into a role where your work genuinely matters, this is an opportunity to influence global programmes that transform lives.

We’re partnering with an international charity with an ambitious growth agenda, to appoint a Head of Global Programme Finance – a pivotal leadership role at the heart of their international operations.

The Opportunity

Reporting into the Global Director of Finance, you’ll take ownership of global programme finance, leading financial strategy, governance and performance across multiple Country and Partner Offices.

This is more than oversight — you’ll play a key role in enabling programme delivery globally, ensuring funding is effectively managed from proposal stage through to reporting, while strengthening systems, compliance, and financial insight.

You’ll operate at senior leadership level, influencing decision-making, driving best practice, and partnering across Programmes, Audit, IT and global teams.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Strategic Leadership – Shape and deliver global finance strategy, providing clear direction and supporting organisational growth
  • Global Financial Oversight – Ensure robust financial control, sustainability and donor compliance across international programmes
  • Business Partnering – Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, supporting decision-making with meaningful financial insight
  • Grants & Compliance – Oversee the full financial lifecycle of grant funding, from budgeting to reporting and audit readiness
  • Systems & Transformation – Lead improvements in finance systems and processes, championing automation and real-time reporting
  • Team Leadership – Inspire, mentor and develop an international finance team, building capability across global offices
  • Audit & Risk – Drive strong governance, working closely with Internal Audit to mitigate risk and strengthen financial controls

What We’re Looking For

  • A qualified ACCA/CIMA/ACA senior finance professional with strong leadership experience in complex, multi-entity environments
  • Experience within an INGO / charity / international development setting is essential
  • Deep understanding of grant funding, donor compliance, and contracts management
  • Proven ability to lead, influence and partner at senior stakeholder level
  • A track record of improving systems, processes and financial performance
  • Someone who thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment and enjoys developing high-performing teams

Why This Role?

  • Meaningful impact – your work directly supports life changing global programmes
  • Strategic influence – operate at SMT level and shape financial direction across a growing organisation
  • Global exposure – work across international teams with up to 30% travel
  • Career-defining role – a chance to lead transformation and leave a lasting legacy
