We’re one of Kenya’s leading NGOs. So our financial affairs must be beyond reproach. That’s why we need a qualified accountant (CPA or ACCA), experienced in managing donor-funded projects, to make sure we meet all our legal, professional and contractual requirements. As you’d expect, you’ll oversee financial and donor reporting, liaise with auditors and prepare and submit accounts. You’ll also provide expert financial advice to senior management. And as well as a relevant Bachelor’s degree and a solid knowledge of computerised accounting, you’ll be fluent in both English and Swahili. Applications should be addressed to the Director Amnesty International Kenya to include a cover letter, a detailed CV highlighting relevant skills and experience, details of current and expected salary, a daytime telephone contact, email address and the names of three professional referees. Applications must be sent to amnestykenya@sections.amnesty.org by close of business Sunday, 6th February 2011.
Only short listed candidates will be contacted.
