Finance Jobs. Rescue.co Jobs
The position
The Grants & Compliance Manager will report to the Director of Partnerships and will oversee rescue.co’s portfolio of donor-funded projects, ensuring strong project & financial management, contract compliance, and effective coordination across departments. You will be the key link between Partnerships, Finance, and Operations, supporting proposal development, budget tracking, and donor reporting.
You will strengthen our internal systems for grant oversight and compliance, while providing strategic input into how we manage, report, and communicate our impact to funders.
Who you are
You are meticulous, organised, and thrive on ensuring that projects are delivered on time, on budget, and in full compliance with donor expectations. You enjoy structure and process but also understand the realities of delivering impact in fast-moving, resource-limited settings. You are as comfortable reviewing a budget and variance report as you are coordinating with technical and field teams to ensure compliance and quality.

Grant Management & Donor Coordination
- Maintain an updated grants tracker covering deliverables, deadlines, and compliance status.
- Coordinate the consolidation of inputs for donor reports (narrative and financial).
- Serve as the primary liaison with donor representatives on compliance and reporting matters.
- Support external audits and due diligence processes with documentation and data validation.
Basic Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in finance, project management, development, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience managing grants and compliance in humanitarian, health, or development organizations.
- Strong understanding of donor regulations (including foundations and other donors).
