Lead - Finance
Global Resilient Cities NetworkThe Resilient Cities Network (R-Cities) builds on more than a decade of global investment in urban resilience, supporting a global network of over 100 cities across more than 40 countries. R-Cities promotes a holistic approach to resilience that addresses both acute shocks and chronic stresses that undermine urban systems over time. Operates primarily through a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity and a Netherlands-based Stichting. Supports informed decision-making and ensures compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
Role Description As Lead - Finance, you build and lead R-Cities' global finance function through a period of transition, consolidation, and growth. You own financial strategy, planning, and reporting across R-Cities' entities, a US 501(c)(3), a Netherlands foundation, and, within a structure undergoing consolidation, entities in Singapore and Mexico, and you lead the shift from external providers to a stronger in-house function. The complexity lies less in the scale of the roughly USD 5.5 million budget than in directing strategy, planning, and financial oversight across multiple entities, currencies, and regulatory frameworks, and in building a durable in-house function while it is still forming. You work closely with the leadership and the Board on financial strategy and governance, setting financial direction while, during the current build, staying close to the detail. What you will do - Strategic financial leadership and planning - Own financial strategy and multi-year plans aligned to organizational and programmatic priorities, with the Co-Managing Directors and the Board. - Provide clear financial objectives and decision-ready insight for leadership and the Board. - Manage the annual budgeting process across all entities and programs. - Conduct multi-year projections, scenario planning, and cash flow forecasting. - Monitor against budget, perform variance analysis, and provide timely recommendations. - Develop budgeting frameworks and tools that give program and operations leads ownership of their budgets. - Grant finance and compliance - Ensure financial oversight of R-Cities' restricted grant portfolio, ensuring donor, contractual, and regulatory compliance. - Strengthen grant budgeting, reporting, and forecasting, with program and practice leads. - Deliver timely, accurate, high-quality financial reporting to funders and partners. - Continuously improve grant financial controls, processes, and documentation. - Financial operations, reporting, and systems oversight - Oversee accounting operations and the close, run by the Manager: review and approval of transactions, payroll, and draft management accounts. - Ensure compliance with US GAAP, Dutch accounting standards, and nonprofit requirements across entities. - Manage the general ledger: revenue and expense recognition, restricted and unrestricted fund balances, and inter-entity transactions. - Provide consolidated reporting and final management accounts, dashboards, and KPIs, built on the Manager's drafts. - Develop finance systems, including Sage Intacct at configuration and controls level, with the Manager. - Risk, treasury, audit, and statutory compliance - Manage financial risk, the internal control framework, and the organization's financial policies across all entities and grants. - Oversee cash, liquidity, and reserve management, banking relationships, and investment balances, safeguarding solvency. - Ensure audit and statutory oversight, including the external audit relationship and sign-off. - Manage tax compliance across jurisdictions, including US filings (Forms 990, 1099) and Dutch corporate tax and VAT, with external advisors. - Ensure compliance with federal, state, and international regulatory requirements and donor agreements. - Team leadership and building the in-house function - Supervise, develop, and support the Manager, and build a small finance team over time. - Transition from reliance on external providers to a stronger in-house function. - Oversee external accounting, payroll, audit, and advisory relationships. - Foster a collaborative, service-oriented finance function embedded in planning and decision-making. Qualifications - Senior-level experience (typically 8+ years) leading finance in mission-driven or nonprofit organizations, with an emphasis on grants and restricted funding. - Strong understanding of full grant or project lifecycles, including budgeting, reporting, compliance, and audit. - Experience across multiple legal entities and jurisdictions, familiar with US and/or Dutch nonprofit regulatory environments. - Demonstrated experience overseeing accounting operations, financial reporting, audits, and statutory filings. - Track record of leading and developing finance staff and building capacity in transitioning organizations. - Strong strategic thinking, financial modeling, forecasting, and scenario planning skills. - Experience supporting organizational change, growth, or transition. - Comfortable advising leadership and Boards and explaining financial concepts to non-finance audiences. - Fluent in English, written and verbal. Requirements - Degree in finance, accounting, or a related field; advanced degree or professional qualification preferred. - Experience strengthening financial systems; Sage Intacct or a comparable cloud-based ERP a strong advantage. - Familiarity with Dutch foundation (Stichting, ANBI) and/or US 501(c)(3) compliance. - Experience with grant and donor compliance, including EU-funded programs. - Dutch language at any level. Benefits - Competitive, location-adjusted salary. - Statutory benefits applicable in the country of employment. - Additional benefits supporting wellbeing, professional development, and flexible remote working.
