The [Article 109](https://article109.org/) Coalition mobilises UN Member States to review and update the United Nations Charter to make our global governance fit for the 21st century, in line with the provisions of the Charter’s own Article 109.

In the year since our Coalition has launched, we have seen significant traction for the idea of renewing our global governance and updating the UN Charter, among UN Member States, civil society and other policy leaders.

Our strategy to build support for an update of the UN Charter is three-pronged: We mobilise UN Member States; catalyse a broader movement; and shape the policy agenda.

This external-facing work is supported by a fourth strategic priority which aims to set the Coalition up for success by establishing the systems and processes that allow the Coalition to serve as a sustainable vehicle for change. To that end, we are recruiting a part-time Finance & HR Manager to support the management of our internal affairs.

The Coalition is fiscally and administratively hosted within the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, which handles our accounting, payments, audit and contracting. Therefore, the responsibilities listed below are complementary to those already fulfilled by the GCSP – aimed at allowing the Coalition more visibility on its own finances, and greater agility in hiring, but not entailing daily responsibilities. In this newly established role, we are looking for a detail-oriented self-starter who likes ensuring that numbers add up and improving nascent systems. You will work on average just over one day per week with the Coalition, but with the flexibility to work more during busy periods (when donor reports are due, ahead of quarterly expenditure updates and mid-year budget reviews, or during specific recruitments) and less at other times. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, you will serve as the Coalition’s primary focal point with GCSP’s finance and HR managers. See more about the Coalition below and on our [website](https://article109.org/).

**Key Responsibilities:**

*Financial Management*

- Maintain a cash flow forecast for the project, based on latest income and expenditure estimates
- Review GCSP expenditure reports for accuracy of allocations
- Lead a quarterly expenditure review with management
- Lead a mid-year budget review process, drawing on spending trends to make recommendations for budget adjustments
- Review and approve staff/consultant expenses and third-party invoices, ensuring they are in line with approved expenditure and GCSP policy, and allocated to the proper budget line
- Produce financial outlooks for management and the Steering Committee
- Liaise with GCSP Finance Manager
- Advise Director on finance matters

*Human Resources Management*

- Lead recruitment of new roles, shepherding relevant colleagues through various steps of the process: drafting of ToRs, advertisement, shortlisting, interviews, selection, onboarding (this will likely encompass 2-3 new roles in 2026)
- Identify modalities to hire new staff in our globally dispersed team and lead engagement with Employers of Record (we use Oyster) as required; advise on salary levels and benefits based on best available benchmarking and cost of living data
- Draft new consulting contracts, liaising with managers and Director to set TORs and appropriate and equitable compensation; renew consulting contracts that expire as relevant
- Approve monthly invoices and time sheets from staff and consultants (approximately 10 / month at present), ensuring invoiced amounts are in line with agreed contracts
- Liaise with GCSP HR Manager
- Advise Director on HR matters

*Skills and competencies:*

- At least 5-7 functional years of experience in accounting and financial management
- Exposure to HR operations in the non-profit sector, in particular contracting
- Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail
- Ability to translate detailed financial information to high-level trends in an easily digestible manner
- An entrepreneurial and resourceful spirit, able to seek out information and data where not readily available and develop new systems as necessary
- Experience working in – and striving for coherence across – globally dispersed teams with different contracting and hiring modalities, currencies, costs of living and ways of working
- Experience with accounting software; Business Central an advantage
- Strong Microsoft Excel skills and ease with the rest of the Microsoft suite
- Proficiency in spoken and written English is required; knowledge of another UN language is an asset
