Job Overview:
The position of Coordinateur/trice Finance - RH is crucial for the operational support staff (OSS) team within Solidarités International. The OSS team is designed to provide strategic coverage and technical support to existing missions, as well as to assist in the opening of new missions. The role involves being deployed for missions lasting from three weeks to three months, depending on the needs and priorities of the organization. The Coordinateur/trice will be responsible for overseeing the financial and administrative services of the mission, ensuring compliance with SI procedures, donor regulations, and local laws. This position serves as a key link between the headquarters and the field missions, particularly in matters related to management, accounting, and budget monitoring.

Duties and Responsibilities:
The Coordinateur/trice Finance - RH will have a range of responsibilities, including but not limited to: conducting socio-economic context analysis, managing human resources for both expatriate and national staff, overseeing team management, and ensuring financial, accounting, and budgetary management. The role also includes administrative management of the mission, cash management, and reporting/communication. The individual will supervise the financial team and coordinate with managers responsible for administration and finances at the country level. This position requires a proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to adapt to various operational contexts.

Required Qualifications:
Candidates must possess a degree in financial management, human resources, or a related field from a reputable business school. A significant professional experience of over one year in a similar role, preferably with Solidarités International or another NGO, is required. The candidate should have strong technical skills in financial management and human resources, as well as experience in managing multicultural teams. Proficiency in financial software such as SAGA and Homere is essential, along with excellent Excel skills.

Experience in managing financial operations in challenging environments is highly valued, as is familiarity with the specific challenges faced in humanitarian missions.

Languages:
Fluency in French and English is mandatory for this position, as these are the primary languages of communication within the organization and in the field. Knowledge of Spanish is considered an asset and would be beneficial for missions in Spanish-speaking countries.

The salary is based on the expatriate salary scale, starting from 2600 euros per month, with additional benefits including five weeks of paid leave per year and one day off for each weekend spent in the field.
