RECRUITING A FINANCIAL TECHNICAL ADVISOR

Never Again Rwanda (NAR) is a peace-building and social justice organization that arose in response to the 1994 genocide perpetrated against Tutsis. Guided by a vision of a nation where citizens are agents of positive change and work together towards sustainable peace and development, NAR aims to empower Rwandans with opportunities to become active citizens through Peacebuilding and development. NAR has five core programs: Peacebuilding, Governance & Human Rights, Research, Youth Engagement, and Strategic partnerships.

NAR has widened its team with many offices operational in different districts. Equally, NAR is planning to work with community-based organizations, and beneficiaries.

It is upon this background that NAR is looking for someone with a good technical background, strong analytical skills, strong collaborator and communicator, an endless drive for improvement, a solutions-oriented mindset, an ability to deliver high-quality financial management advisory services on tight deadlines, and the flexibility to adapt to quickly changing needs while being highly detail-oriented. This will not be an individual contributor role, so we’re looking for exceptional talent to grow our collaborative, diverse team and to bring diverse perspectives and knowledge to our organization.
