Financial Budget & Reporting Manager

Better Cotton is looking for an experienced, strategically focused Financial Budget and Reporting manager to lead on Better Cotton´s budgeting and management reporting. This key managerial role will report to the Global Head of Finance.

Transparent financial reporting will continue to allow the organisation to demonstrate to stakeholders the cost-efficient business model BCI has successfully implemented during its first fifteen years of operation. As the organisation moves to the next strategic phase, many new complex projects in various locations will commence. This role will ensure that new projects have robust budgets, liaising with project managers and budget holders. We will need to ensure that resources are allocated effectively to deliver the organisation’s mission.

Whilst Better Cotton is fortunate in having the majority of its income unrestricted in the form of member fees, we are expecting donor income to grow in the next few years to support projects and field activities. The Financial Budget & Reporting Manager will be expected to work closely with the teams responsible for generating income and spending budgets to validate their budgets and monitor performance against these budgets. The position will be in charge of monitoring and forecasting existing income and expenses sources.

The position requires a self-starter who will confidently work with all budget holders across the varied functions and countries. The ideal candidate will be a strong collaborator with a proven ability to communicate about the financial complexities of business models. A thirst for learning, innovating, and taking on a challenge will round off the profile.
