Save the Children recruits a Project Finance Coordinator – (2000041H) in Phnom Penh

 

The role

The Family Care First (FCF)|REACT project funded by EU & USAID aims to ensure that children are cared for in a safe family environment by developing a well-functioning comprehensive care system in Cambodia which can respond effectively to the needs of vulnerable children and families. The overall project will focus on four key objectives: government systems, direct response through developing a strong social welfare workforce, prevention of child-family separation and the transformation of the dominant residential care model. Activities delivered under the first phase of this project will deliver critical programmatic learning and establish a model for collective action toward an ultimate desired impact of reducing the number of children living outside family care in Cambodia.

As the Project Finance Coordinator, you will be responsible for project finances, including budgeting, financial reporting, partner finance capacity building and partner financial oversight to ensure compliance to EU & USAID rules and regulations. You will also work closely with the Awards team to ensure that grant management is effectively implemented.
