Finance Jobs. Rescue.co Jobs
The position
The Grants & Compliance Manager will report to the Director of Partnerships and will oversee rescue.co’s portfolio of donor-funded projects, ensuring strong project & financial management, contract compliance, and effective coordination across departments. You will be the key link between Partnerships, Finance, and Operations, supporting proposal development, budget tracking, and donor reporting.
You will strengthen our internal systems for grant oversight and compliance, while providing strategic input into how we manage, report, and communicate our impact to funders.
Who you are
You are meticulous, organised, and thrive on ensuring that projects are delivered on time, on budget, and in full compliance with donor expectations. You enjoy structure and process but also understand the realities of delivering impact in fast-moving, resource-limited settings. You are as comfortable reviewing a budget and variance report as you are coordinating with technical and field teams to ensure compliance and quality.

- Coordinate the consolidation of inputs for donor reports (narrative and financial).

Basic Requirements
