Program Background
Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) supports implementation of the Australian Government's climate change commitments under Australia's International Development Policy, in line with partner government priorities. CRC supports the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to increase climate investments, drive climate integration, and better address climate change and disaster risk across Australia's development portfolio. CRC incentivises funding towards gender-responsive, inclusive climate and disaster resilience programming, particularly in the water, food, nature-based solutions, and energy sectors. DFAT has engaged DT Global to support the implementation of CRC through a Support Unit.
The Role
The Finance Manager works within the CRCSU Operations Unit and is responsible for the budget and finance management of the CRCSU program, provided to DFAT. The role, reporting directly to the Operations Lead, supports the CRCSU leadership team with financial analysis and information to support decision making.
About You
You are a proactive and detail-oriented finance professional who thrives in a purpose-driven environment and is motivated by contributing to climate and development outcomes across the Indo-Pacific. You bring strong financial management expertise and sound judgement, with the ability to balance compliance requirements with practical, solutions-focused approaches.
You are comfortable operating in a complex program environment, working across multiple stakeholders, supporting program audits, and other evolving priorities. You are confident in interpreting and applying financial policies, ensuring accountability and transparency, and strengthening internal controls. You take a collaborative approach, supporting team members and partners to understand financial processes and build their capability.
You are highly organised and able to manage competing deadlines (e.g., month end financial closures, and end of financial year deadlines), while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail. You communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders, translating complex financial information into practical insights that support decision-making.
Why join CRC?
By joining the DFAT-funded Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) program, managed by DT Global, as a Finance Manager, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the sound financial management of impactful, community-focused initiatives. You will work alongside multidisciplinary teams and technical experts to manage budgets, strengthen financial systems, and support compliant, transparent use of funds across diverse program contexts.
The role offers opportunities to enhance your expertise in donor-funded program finance, contribute to strategic decision-making, and drive efficient resource allocation to maximise development outcomes. Within CRC's collaborative and purpose-driven environment, you will be encouraged to apply a global perspective, uphold strong governance standards, and support the delivery of sustainable, climate-resilient solutions for vulnerable communities.
