Who We Are

International Justice Mission (IJM) is the global leader in protecting vulnerable people from violence around the world. Our team of over 1,200 professionals are at work worldwide in over 30 offices. Together we are on a mission to rescue millions, protect half a billion, and make justice unstoppable.

For over 25 years, IJM has pioneered the work to protect vulnerable people from violence. 9 out of 9 times in the last decade, IJM's Justice System Strengthening Projects have reduced slavery and violence between 50 and 85% for very large populations of people in poverty. As we grow to expand our impact to protect 500 million people from violence, we are seeking a Financial Planning & Analysis Specialist to serve as a dedicated finance business partner for IJM's global support functions: the Executive Office, Global Finance, Global People Support (HR), Global Technology Solutions (GTS) and Global Risk and Legal. This role supports the annual budget creation, monthly variance analysis, and forecasting for these functions, turning financial results into clear, actionable insight for budget owners and leadership. By helping these support functions steward donor resources, this role directly strengthens the organization's capacity to protect people in poverty from violence.
