London, United Kingdom The Gecko Project Full time

Job description

The Gecko Project is a non-profit journalism organisation that investigates the role of land use in some of the most pressing global challenges: climate change, deforestation, the collapse of biodiversity, food security, the rights of marginalised communities and the health of democracies. We harness the power of investigative journalism and storytelling to catalyse change that will protect the environment and human rights. Since the project began in 2017, our reporting has focused principally on Indonesia. We operate on a partnership model, collaborating with larger media organisations to maximise our reach and impact.

**Responsibilities**
- Preparing budgets and financial documents for grant proposals.
- Administering payments.
- Managing expense claims, including checking receipts.
- Maintaining accounts and tracking expenditure.
- Supporting consultants/contractors with administrative processes.
- Helping to prepare financial reports for funders.
- Working with our accountants to prepare company accounts.
- Preparing budget estimates for the organisation.
- Preparing financial statements and maintaining accounts using our accounting software.
- Raising and administering invoices and payments using our finance tools.
- Developing/implementing systems to improve our administrative and finance processes.
- Managing payroll.
- Other tasks as required.

**About you**

You will be an experienced finance and administration professional who is happy to work in a small organisation with an “all hands on deck” approach. You will have a background in the not-for-profit sector. You will ideally have an interest in the environment, development and/or journalism. You will be excited by the opportunity to play an important role in growing the organisation.

The role would be ideal for someone who is a self-starter and is happy to work remotely and flexibly. This is a remote position but you should be based in the UK and be willing to travel to London occasionally for meetings in-person. As an equal opportunity employer, The Gecko Project values diversity and continuously strives to maintain an inclusive and equitable workplace.

You will need to have the right to work in the UK, as we are not able to provide sponsorship for this role.

**Essential experience**
- Experience using Xero.
- Good working knowledge of Excel.
- Experience of working in the nonprofit sector.

**Essential skills**
- The ability to organise and prioritise own workload with good time management, using own judgement to balance conflicting priorities.
- A commitment to accuracy and attention to detail.
- The ability to communicate technical information clearly to a range of audiences.
- A willingness and desire to learn and improve processes.
- The capacity to handle objections and questions professionally, providing robust and rational responses.
- A commitment to proactive problem-solving, and to finding solutions rather than passing problems on to others.

**What we can offer you**
- A flexible working environment.
- A fixed-term, ten month contract for one day per week.
- £35,000 pro rata.
