• Improve cost‑recovery, including benchmarking against peer organisations, refreshing policies and considering adjustments to recovery rates while remaining competitive with donors.
• Review the current organisational and operating structure to identify efficiencies and alternative ways of working, including consideration of a dual‑entity or other revised operating models.
• Model the financial and operational implications of proposed changes and facilitate discussions and decision‑making with senior leadership.

• A senior finance leader, preferably a qualified accountant, with experience supporting a complex international charity through a period of transition, including reviewing and redesigning operating models.
