The successful candidate will demonstrate NRGI’s values of rigor, collaboration, passion, integrity, and impact.
NRGI’s 2025–2030 Strategy sets out an ambitious agenda for transforming resource governance to advance sustainable development and just transitions in low- and middle-income countries. As part of this strategy, NRGI is strengthening and modernizing its global operations and finance functions to support long-term resilience and organizational effectiveness.
Reporting jointly to the President & CEO and the COO, the Finance Director will serve as NRGI’s most senior financial leader and principal authority on financial management, compliance, reporting, and risk. The role combines strategic financial stewardship with genuine operational transformation across a highly complex, distributed organization: an annual budget of approximately USD 15 million, around 80 staff, formal registration in nine jurisdictions, and operations spanning roughly 15 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
This is not a steady-state finance role. It demands deep technical expertise, the confidence to lead change, and the judgment to balance proactive strategic leadership with responsive day-to-day management, while building trusted relationships with the leadership team, Governing Board and a geographically dispersed finance team.
