Mary’s Meals provides one good meal to some of the world’s poorest children every school day. Our work is named after Mary, the mother of Jesus, who brought up her own child in poverty. Mary’s Meals consists of, respects, and reaches out to people of all faiths and of none.
Mary’s Meals Kenya is delighted to be recruiting for a talented Finance & Operations Manager to join our team in Lodwar, Turkana county.
With extensive experience of budget and financial management, you will have responsibility for leading and developing a team supporting the following areas: finance, logistics, security, procurement, transport, property management and IT. Process development, continuous improvement and implementation will be a key focus of this role and you will bring strong experience of implementing internal control frameworks.
We are currently feeding 44,139 children in Kenya and our work is based in both Eldoret and Lodwar, where we attract many children living in urban slums into the classroom, and Turkana, where we provide life-saving meals to the children of livestock farmers.
Mary’s Meals is a global movement supported by people from all walks of life and we are focused on one goal – that every child receives a nutritious daily meal in a place of education.
Reporting to the Country Lead, Kenya, with a dotted line to Mary’s Meals International Head of Finance, you will have responsibility for the overall financial management of our Kenya programme and you will be a member of the Country Programme Leadership Team.
You will be comfortable working across multiple projects and managing a varied team to ensure all major milestones are achieved and reporting schedules are met.
You will be confident in influencing at all levels and will bring strong leadership skills to inspire your team and strive for continuous improvement in all areas.
Other key areas of responsibility include:
With a restless approach to continuous improvement, you will thrive in a fast-paced, varied environment where no two days are the same.
Experience of working with, or for, a charity would be beneficial but is not essential – however, alignment with Mary’s Meals values and the desire to serve the children of Kenya is essential.
Mary’s Meals is a values driven organisation, we believe in the innate goodness of people, respect the dignity of every human being and family life and believe in good stewardship of the resources entrusted to us. In line with our values Mary’s Meals is fully committed to a culture of safeguarding.
