We are in official relations with the World Health Organization and consultative status with the United Nations.
FIGO is dedicated to the improvement of the health and rights of women and girls and to the reduction of disparities in health care, as well as to advancing the science and practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. We pursue our mission through education, research implementation, advocacy and capacity building with our member societies.
We are recruiting to the exciting Head of Finance position, which will give the appointed candidate the opportunity to have a significant impact on the charity, helping us to be more efficient, more commercial and better informed. Reporting into the Chief Operating Officer this is a crucial leadership role and will be the most senior person in finance in the charity. You will need to bring leadership skills and strategic ability as well as the desire to roll your sleeves up when required. You will need to bring experience of financial management in a charity which receives significant restricted funding (this could be international donors, but not essential). You will also need experience of accounting for traded income. You will be passionate about our mission to improve women’s health and rights around the world.
To reflect our ambition and commitment to be more representative at a senior level, we particularly encourage and welcome applications from people with a disability, people from minority ethnic backgrounds, and people from the LGBTQ+ communities as well as other underrepresented and minority communities.
