Finance & Office
Manager Nairobi
For over 50
years, we’ve been campaigning for human rights wherever justice, freedom and truth
are denied.
In doing
so, we’ve changed thousands of lives for the better.
Join
Amnesty at our new regional office in Kenya and you will too.
About the role
Taking
control of all things finance for our East Africa regional office, you’ll play
a key part in shaping the International Secretariat’s presence in the region.
Implementing our global policies and putting in place local processes and
systems will be instrumental to our initial and ongoing operational success.
As you
would expect, you will be monitoring budgets, regularly reporting to local and
international management and ensuring we meet all the relevant statutory and
regulatory requirements.
As well as
managing payroll and cash flow, you’ll have responsibility for facilities
management, legal compliance, IT and a range of HR functions.
This will
include securing visas for international staff, commissioning training and
ensuring HR best practice.
You will be
technologically-savvy able to maintain IT systems with the back-up of our
global hub in London.
You will
also lead and develop a Finance and Office Assistant reporting directly to you,
growing their abilities as you build a solid base for us to effect meaningful
human rights change.
About you
A qualified
accountant and experienced office manager, you’ll be an expert when it comes to
preparing and monitoring budgets and overseeing the smooth day-to-day
management of an office.
More than
being methodical, organized and flexible, you’ll be confident in your ability
to get an international office up and running, thanks to a history of putting
in place and managing financial, administrative, HR, IT and legal systems.
You’ll also
be well-versed in HR, customer focused and fluent in both English and a local
language (Kishwahili).
Indeed,
you’ll already have local contact networks in tax, immigration and with service
contractors, along with a knowledge of local contract law.
About us
Our aim is
simple: to bring the world closer to a place where human rights are enjoyed by
all.
Independent,
international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth
wherever they’re denied.
Already our
network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in
150 countries.
And whether
we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass
demonstrations, human rights education, or online campaigning, we’re all
inspired by hope for a better world.
One where
human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
