Experience working with international NGOs, UN agencies, local organizations, or comparable implementers with varied financial systems.
Advanced Excel skills and ability to develop transparent, auditable analytical tools and calculations.
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.

Responsibilities

Develop and document a standardized cost-effectiveness toolset and user guide that can be applied consistently across diverse livelihood project types and cost-data environments.
Lead high-level financial-document review, including budget-to-actual and actual-to-reported reconciliation, invoice tie-out, expenditure date and nature testing, redistribution testing, competitive-bid or price-reasonableness testing, and asset verification where relevant.
Review signed cooperation agreements, disbursement records, project budgets, transaction-level ledgers, invoices, procurement files, and supporting documents made available by implementing organizations.
Identify and promptly communicate credible indications of intentional misuse, unsupported costs, material noncompliance, procurement concerns, or diversion.
Contribute to evaluation plans, financial and cost-effectiveness sections of scorecards and reports, technical annexes, recommendations, and stakeholder briefings.
Protect confidential financial and partner-performance information and comply with data-protection, conflict-of-interest, and evaluator-independence requirements.
