  • Business Development Manager – EU Market

    Business Development Manager – EU Market

    Background

    Hivos is a human rights and social justice organisation driven by humanist values. We were founded in 1968, at the height of the global wave of social and political mobilisations in the 1960s that laid the foundation for new progressive civil society movements worldwide.

    Hivos strengthens and resources organisations and movements with the potential to improve a broad range of human, civil, and political rights. In particular, if they are directly at risk of being targeted or have the potential to spark popular mobilisation for a transformative progressive agenda. We work in partnerships with others in the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA).

    Vision

    We envision a just world in which everyone, regardless of their identity, background or circumstances, lives in dignity and freedom and can build a fair and sustainable future for themselves, their communities, and the wider society.

    Mission

    Our mission is to defend and expand the civil and political rights that enable individuals, marginalised communities, their movements, and their organisations to claim and realise equality and justice.

    Our DNA

    Hivos has guts and dares to tackle sensitive issues. The way we question existing power structures and their effects on society is different and innovative. We are not afraid to confront the powers that be in the quest for new solutions. And we critically review how we achieve the mission and goals we have set.

    Purpose of role 

    The Business Development Manager will play a key role in advancing Hivos’ strategic funding and partnership ambitions under the Ten for Ten strategy.

    Operating within a functional, globally dispersed business development model, the role combines market and contextual intelligence, relationship-building, and coordinated proposal development. It requires close collaboration with programme, finance, and support functions to translate strategic priorities into high-quality, fundable opportunities that are operationally feasible, compliant, and aligned with Hivos’ values and power-shifting approach.

    Depending on the specific focus of the position, the role emphasises either deep regional and contextual knowledge or the orchestration of complex, cross-regional design processes. Across all variants, the position contributes to both short-term fundraising results and longer-term positioning of Hivos within priority donor, foundation, and partnership ecosystems.

    The Business Development Manager (Europe Focus, EU Expertise) contributes to advancing Hivos’ funding and partnership ambitions under the Ten for Ten strategy, with a focus on Europe-focused programmes, including EU, domestic, and other European funding and philanthropic ecosystems.

    • Support relationship-building with EU institutions, European foundations, local authorities, and strategic partners relevant to Hivos’ work in Europe.
    • Represent Hivos in Europe-focused funding, donor, and partnership spaces, including EU-related fora where relevant.

    Profile

    This role requires strong expertise in EU funding architectures, compliance frameworks, and policy dynamics, combined with familiarity with European foundations, domestic funding mechanisms, and philanthropic actors.

    Experience

    • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
    • 7+ years of relevant experience in business development, institutional fundraising, or programme development.

  • Researchers (2)

    Researchers (2)

    Global Energy Monitor is seeking two experienced Researchers who will work as part of GEM’s research team, contributing to trackers, datasets, and projects as needed.

    This role will work as part of GEM’s Global Energy Ownership Tracker, which is collecting and improving GEM’s data on ownership of combustion power plants, mines (for coal and iron), steel plants, and oil and gas pipelines. As with all of GEM’s data, this data is made freely available to anyone, and is used for identifying the companies and other entities that own projects that are responsible for a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions. This ownership data is also used by Climate TRACE, a non-profit coalition of organizations building a timely, open, and accessible inventory of every significant source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

    The Global Energy Ownership Tracker compiles and standardizes ownership information for energy assets by tracing each project’s ownership chain from the direct owner through intermediate entities to ultimate parents, including corporations, investment firms, and governments. The methodology is designed to improve transparency across GEM’s datasets by capturing both controlling and minority ownership stakes, and by linking ownership records to other GEM trackers through consistent entity IDs and cross-dataset standards. This makes it easier to analyze who ultimately controls energy infrastructure, compare ownership patterns across sectors, and support climate accountability research and policy work.

    The Challenge

    According to the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC), we have less than a decade to make massive and unprecedented changes in the global economy to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. To meet that challenge,
    Global Energy Monitor
     is creating trackers and other tools to provide detailed information on energy facilities, sponsors, and financing. 

    About Global Energy Monitor

    Global Energy Monitor (GEM) is a network of researchers developing information for the worldwide climate and clean energy movement. Since the organization’s founding in 2007, GEM’s research has become an essential tool for activists, journalists, policymakers, and scientists. GEM’s data and reports are used and cited by organizations ranging from Greenpeace to The Wall Street Journal. GEM’s information is used by Bloomberg Terminals, the International Energy Agency, the IPCC, Climate Analytics, Carbon Tracker Initiative, and hundreds of others.

  • Head of Finance

    Head of Finance

    Giving What We Can (GWWC) is seeking a Head of Finance to build the financial infrastructure and team needed to scale a multi-entity grantmaking organization from $40 million towards $3 billion in donations to high-impact charities every year.

    Your work would make or break our ability to help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as extreme poverty, the suffering of animals in factory farms, and global catastrophic risks facing current and future generations. If you build the systems and team that allow us to grow even 1% faster YoY, you would be directly responsible for $360M in additional donations going to high-impact charities.

    The opportunity

    If the 1% richest in the world would donate 10% of their income we could within years end extreme poverty, end hunger and malnutrition, massively reduce factory farming and much, much more. Research-backed, scalable, but grossly underfunded ways to make progress on these problems exist.

    And whilst every donation towards a high-impact organisation might be small in comparison to the entirety of the problem, every donation can make an extremely meaningful difference in the lives of the individual humans or animals that benefit from it.That’s why more than 10,000 people have pledged at least 10% of their income to the world’s most effective charities by taking Giving What We Can’s ????10% Pledge. The entire GWWC community already gives over $80 million every year – funding malaria prevention, global poverty reduction, animal welfare, work on global catastrophic risk and more.

    We’re just getting started.

    Our goal is 1 million pledgers giving at least $3 billion annually to high-impact organisations. And we’re looking for a Head of Finance to make that possible.Someone who can build the financial systems and controls as well as the finance team needed to scale a multi-entity grantmaking organization by 100x over the next decade and a half, from $40M/year to $3B/year in donations to the highest-impact charities.

    What you’ll do

    You will own the full financial function of a fast-growing, multi-entity (US, UK, Canada, the Netherlands) non-profit, including budgeting, forecasting, reporting, compliance filings, controls, and building systems for scale. You will get to shape the organization’s financial infrastructure, processes, and team, and grow alongside the organization.

    More specifically, you would be responsible for:

    • Day-to-day finances. Accurate and timely reconciliations and book closing, accounts payable, cash and liquidity management, and managing our interest-bearing holdings.
    • Managing, growing, and representing the finance team. Managing our finance associate and external accountants; maintaining relationships with financial advisors, US/UK auditors, and US/UK/CA treasurers and legal counsel. As we grow, building and developing a team of high performers.
    • Budgeting, reporting, forecasting, and strategic financial advice. Serve as a close thought partner to the executive team and boards, delivering budgets, reports, and forecasts hand in hand with strategic advice for our key metrics and organizational strategy.
    • Implement, enforce and improve our financial controls. Ultimately responsible for ensuring proper management of $30M+ in annual funds (and growing every year), with appropriate due diligence.
    • Payroll across jurisdictions. Ensuring our staff and extended team members all get paid the correct amount on time every time.
    • Statutory and regulatory filings. Managing multi-entity audits and all other statutory and regulatory financial filings, coordinating with internal and external stakeholders to deliver on time and implementing improvements as we go.
    • Building and improving financial processes and systems. From new AP software and multi-entity reporting to investment and cash management policies — building and improving systems so we can scale radically without financial errors or lapses in oversight.
    • Grant finance. Tracking restricted and designated funding accurately, preparing cash balances ahead of grant rounds, and ensuring all grant recipients receive their grants accurately and on time with appropriate information sharing and due diligence.

    A day in the life of…

    You log on from your home office or co-working space and quickly check if there are any urgent financial questions from internal and external stakeholders. You notice there is a donor seeking to make a large stock transfer from outside of the US and you collaborate with our auditor and payment processing providers to figure out the most effective and secure way to receive these funds while keeping our community team in the loop for donor stewardship.

    You then begin preparing your bi-weekly meeting with our accountants. You review their draft management report and the monthly books in detail, flag several improvements and irregularities, and figure out the process improvements we need to prevent those from happening in the future.

    Your afternoon is focused on meetings, so after your lunch break you prepare your agenda for the 1:1 with your manager and prepare a discussion of your project timeline and rollout for a comprehensive review of our payment processing providers, the contracts, and rates. You also present your proposed solution and implementation timeline for receiving UK stock donations as a charity, for which you had researched several options and made a cost-benefit analysis.

    Afterwards you meet with all managers across the organization to train them in budgeting their team’s projects, providing the information needed to our accountants to track these projects, and address any questions they may have about our finances. This is a meeting in a series of financial training sessions you have developed for our internal staff to make more informed decisions.

    You end the day with a brainstorming session with the Head of People: we are planning to hire several new people in three different European countries, and you are collaborating to figure out whether the advantages of hiring them directly outweigh the additional administrative work and compliance risk.

    What we’re looking for

    • Deep financial management experience. 5–10 years managing finances, ideally accountable for (core parts of) an organization with a >$25M/year budget and/or several entities.
    • Meticulous attention to detail. You notice the unexplained variation across months, spot the fund allocation missing in our list of thousands of donations, and every budget and calculation you deliver is squeaky clean — because you meticulously and systematically review your own work and the organization’s finances.
    • Strategic decision-making. While no material error finds its way past you, you also know where diving into the details is worth our time. You bring strategic cost-benefit analyses to key decisions.
    • Deep accountability. Everything in your portfolios happens without prompting, on time, with excellent stakeholder communication. Nothing slips through the cracks; deprioritized responsibilities are communicated proactively.
    • Building scalable systems. When you encounter a problem, error, or new request, you assess whether it requires an ongoing process — and if so, you build a scalable system.
    • Fluent financial communication. You can fluently translate complex financial matters for stakeholders – including those with no financial background. You keep relevant stakeholders appropriately informed.
    • You care about our work. You don’t need to be an effective altruism expert on day one, but you deeply care about creating a world without extreme poverty, animal suffering, and existential risk – a world where everyone can flourish. And you want to be a part of the movement that makes this happen.
    • Preferred experience (we expect you to bring some of these, not all of them):
      • Certified accountant or strong technical accounting knowledge (UK, US, or equivalent; IFRS, US/UK GAAP, SORP, etc.);
      • Risk management, especially for remote, grantmaking, multi-entity, or rapidly growing organizations;
      • People management: growing and managing high-performing teams;
      • Scaling financial operations and building the systems to enable it;
      • Familiarity with non-profit or philanthropy finance;
      • Working with financial providers of a wide variety, including payment processing providers and responsibilities such as renegotiating contracts;
      • Managing finances of multi-entity or international organizationsacross jurisdictions.

    If you’re unsure whether you meet our criteria, I’d strongly encourage you to apply or reach out to head-of-finance-hiring@givingwhatwecan.org.
