Finance & Admin Officer
Molly’s Network is a non-profit organisation registered
in Tanzania, supported by a sister charity in the UK. We believe that small, local organisations have the best understanding of the needs in their community, and are often the best placed to meet these needs. However, we recognise that these organisations face two common problems. First, if they are highly effective and efficient, they often struggle to prove this and make connections to donors and partners outside their immediate community. Second, local organisations often get to a certain level and struggle to progress any further, held back by poor internal structures and systems. In response to these issues, Molly’s Network has created Tanzania’s first assessment and accreditation scheme for non-profit organisations, with a complementary capacity building model. We’re now looking for a committed professional with the energy and drive to support us in our new period of expansion. The role will require experience in financial accountability, administrative support and a passion for working with civil society organisations. Importantly, we are looking for someone who is open
to working beyond the confines of financial management and is keen to learn about our Accreditation scheme and support us with this core programmatic function.
