Reporting to the CFO, the Financial Controller will lead our Finance Team in effective day to day financial operations, overseeing the team’s provision of quality financial services to all IFES offices and national movements. The postholder will oversee the effective management and reporting of IFES finances and work closely with the CFO on financial planning and strategy, risk management and financial governance at the corporate level.

As well as having a good understanding of Christian student ministry, the successful candidate will be an inspiring leader to the Finance team, bringing in-depth technical expertise and a track record of contributing to the development of more efficient finance systems and processes, with thorough, pragmatic internal controls.

IFES is an organisation with a distinctive Christian ethos. This post is subject to an Occupational Requirement under provisions made in the Equality Act 2010. Applicants should therefore demonstrate a firm Christian commitment and agree with the IFES doctrinal basis and ethos statement.
