Finance Business Partner

You can partner with managers and project managers and support their budget follow-up through provision of management reporting and structured meetings and guidance and you can challenge anyone on knowledge of Danida guidelines, internal salary coverage and time registration.

Your reports form the basis for strategic decisions, and you have a special ability to reduce complexity and communicate complicated material to others. It is important for you to deliver quality on time, and you take ownership, involve stakeholders and steer safely towards goals. And you want to be part of a work environment full of committed colleagues and partners.
