are 3 main areas of responsibility for the role:
- Budget:
You will work with departments in developing, updating, and tracking
budgets. You will update monthly BVAs (Budget vs. Actuals) and associated
financial reports for the entire Rwanda program, working closely with our
Accounting team. This requires excel skills and financial acumen, as well
as the ability to maintain professional relationships and explain complex
financial terms in simple language. Longer-term, you will own the entire
budget process. - Analysis:
Building on your budget work, you will analyze financial data for trends
and give advice to departments, particularly to improve efficiency. For
example, you may develop a business case around developing internal
capabilities for printing or construction. Or you might design a new
policy to improve our trucking systems. Again, this will require a mix of
modeling and synthesizing complex financial information into actionable
recommendations. - Strategic
projects:
In some cases, you will also implement your recommendations, such as
piloting an efficiency play in a district or improving our KPI tracking.
These kind of projects require getting into the field to understand our
program and financials.
Over
time, you will take on larger and larger strategic questions, eventually
driving large parts of Rwanda strategy.
