Regional Business Support Manager (Oxfam GB)

Regional Business Support Manage

£26,843 to £36,006 + accommodation + benefits

Latin America and the Caribbean region

Finding lasting solutions to poverty means putting together the strongest programme possible. But to get that support where it’s needed most, we rely on our committed teams. Lead our Regional Business Support team and you’ll shape the direction and quality of our work throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

The role

Heading up our business support team, you’ll take full responsibility for all support functions in the region. That means leading the organisational change process, developing and implementing improved systems and keeping the entire regional support programme running smoothly. And whether we’re lobbying for fairer trade policies in rural areas, or providing humanitarian aid in the wake of a natural disaster, you’ll make sure we have the capacity to support all kinds of issues. What’s more, offering specialist financial advice to senior management, you’ll have a real impact on business decisions – strengthening our strategic thinking and helping to make a bigger difference. Do it well and you’ll not only define the success of our work as a whole, you’ll make your mark at the heart of a highly respected network.  

What we’re looking for

A professionally qualified finance manager, you’ll certainly have plenty of senior management experience in another large, global organisation and also have led strategic design, planning and implementation in a challenging environment before. But as well as operating at a strategic level, you’ll need to work with people right across the organisation, influencing and driving change. That calls for exceptional communication skills and the confidence to lead and motivate a diverse team. Fluency in both Spanish and English is essential. And you must be prepared for extensive travel. 

Oxfam

A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.
