Job Description
Finance & Operations Assistant
Urgent Action Fund-Africa
About Us
Urgent Action Fund-Africa is a proudly feminist and women's human rights organization operating across the African continent. Registered in Kenya and Zimbabwe, we function as a virtual organization with strategic presence spanning three key regions: East Africa (Nairobi, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda), Southern Africa (Harare, Lilongwe, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Gaborone, and Antananarivo), and Central Africa (Yaoundé and Douala).
Our Mission
We recognize that Africa's opportunities and challenges emerge and shift rapidly. That's why we've developed a Rapid Response Grant mechanism that moves resources quickly to support urgent, time-sensitive, and innovative initiatives. Our focus areas include advancing women's agency in democratic governance, driving economic and environmental justice, ensuring equitable natural resources governance, and supporting conflict transformation—all while protecting and upholding the rights, personhood, and integrity of the women we serve.
The Role
We're seeking a detail-oriented Finance & Operations Assistant to join our team and support the smooth functioning of our organization across our pan-African network. This position plays a crucial role in maintaining our financial systems, operational processes, and administrative functions as we continue our rapid-response work supporting women-led movements throughout the continent.
