WHO WE ARE

ACAPS is an independent analysis provider. We are an independent analytical voice helping humanitarian workers, influencers, fundraisers, and donors make better-informed decisions and respond more effectively to disasters.

WHAT WE DO

We inform crisis response: We aim towards reshaping the humanitarian narrative by providing timely and independent needs analysis, data, training, and methodological tools while advocating for a more evidence-based response to crises.
We collaborate with honesty and Creativity: ACAPS maximises synergies with humanitarian responders, specialised analytical organisations, academic institutions, the private sector, and civil society and encourages them to implement a collaborative approach.
As humanitarian needs continue to rise steeply, there is an increasing parallel demand in the sector for high-quality, independent analysis to guide resource prioritisation and programmatic responses. ACAPS is uniquely positioned in the humanitarian architecture to respond to these challenges, operating as a global public good to the humanitarian sector by providing independent, multi-sectoral analysis to enable humanitarian stakeholders to better understand and address the needs of crisis affected populations across the globe.
ACAPS is currently at an exciting stage of its growth trajectory, with a fast-expanding decentralised global team. Due to an increased awareness of ACAPS value add to the humanitarian sector, ACAPS conducts analysis on crises in Afghanistan, Colombia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Ukraine, and Yemen with team members working within many of these countries. This is in addition to global teams providing analysis spanning over 150 countries and 100 active crises worldwide. ACAPS donor portfolio is also expanding, with current active funding from key institutional donors such as BHA, FCDO, SDC, GFFO, GAC, SDC, NMFA and others.

GENERAL POSITION SUMMARY

In response to ACAPS recent team and portfolio expansion, and to support the transition towards independence, ACAPS is seeking a highly experienced and dynamic Head of Finance to oversee day-to-day finance functions for this exciting global project. This is a new role and as such will require an element of change management to establish this new function and guide the transition process. The successful candidate must be a seasoned professional who can hit the ground running, quickly see where financial systems and approaches can be improved and, where needed, support targeted change management initiatives. We’re looking for a leader with proven expertise in finance leadership and a solid ability to build highly effective relationships across teams.
With a strong background in overseeing finance, ideally for NGOs, the Head of Finance will work closely across ACAPS teams, ensuring effective connections between the finance team, our country level operations and our global analysis initiatives.
