WWF (Solomon Islands-based): Finance and Administration Manager, WWF Solomon Islands (Re-advertisement): 2024/377
Pacific Vacancies Announcement No. 2024/377 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ? VACANCY ¨C Re-advertisement Finance & Administration Manager, WWF Solomon Islands (SI) ? About WWF WWF¡¯s work in the Pacific spans three countries with offices in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Fiji, where our regional hub is based in Suva. Since the mid-1990s we have been working hand in hand with local partners and communities to protect and restore the region's astonishing natural heritage, relied upon by millions of people for food, water, livelihoods and protection from climate change. The impacts of effective conservation in this trio of Large Oceanic States extends far beyond their geographic boundaries. In Papua New Guinea, for instance, WWF is working in the third largest tropical rainforest in the world, home to a staggering 7% of the world¡¯s total number of species. Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands host part of the Coral Triangle, where 76% of all coral species are found. Tuna come here to spawn, whilst sea turtles, whales, dolphins, dugongs and whale sharks feed, breed and migrate through these waters. Fiji meanwhile is home to the world¡¯s third longest continuous barrier reef system that supports some of the only coral reefs thought to remain under current climate change scenarios. ? As the planet faces a deepening crisis of nature loss the Pacific Islands face their own significant challenges: deep sea mining, deforestation, overexploitation of fisheries for local and global consumption, plastic pollution all pose imminent risks. The existential threat of climate change is ubiquitous and has worsened, with impacts already felt across the region. ? About the Role Reporting to the Country Manager SI, and technically, to Pacific Head of Finance, Administration, Risk & Compliance, the Finance & Administration Manager will ensure the implementation of Finance, IT and Administration systems, policies and procedures in WWF-SI.? Key to this role is the adherence to strict timely reporting on KPIs, budget forecasts and other financial reporting.? Experience with ACCPAC and VENA software would be an advantage.
