Finance & Office Manager Job in Nairobi Kenya

Finance & Office Manager Nairobi
For over 50 years, we’ve been
campaigning for human rights
wherever justice, freedom and truth
are denied.
We’ve reshaped policies, challenged
governments and taken
corporations to task.
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.
