    Introduction


The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future.

We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and - whenever possible - for the fulfillment of the wish to return home.


The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956 and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers.

Based in Copenhagen (Denmark) and present in forty countries, the Danish Refugee Council is a non-profit-making, politically independent, non-governmental and non-denominational relief organization.

Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced.

All our efforts are based on our value compass:
humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.

1. Background
DRC has been operating in West Africa since 1998.

The DRC West, North Africa and Latin America Regional Office (hereafter:
WANALA RO) is based in Dakar, Senegal, and covers over twelve countries outside of Senegal.

Led by the Regional Executive Director for West, North Africa & Latin America Region (hereafter:
WANALA Region), the DRC WANALA RO oversees, supports and provides strategic directions for DRC's Country Offices within the Region, which currently includes: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Colombia, Libya, Mali, Mexico, the Niger, Nigeria, Peru, Senegal, Tunisia and Venezuela.

2. Purpose


Based in Bogota (Colombia) and working under the management of the Regional Finance Manager, the Regional Finance Specialist will be part of the Finance Department team of the WANALA RO.

However, this position will have a focus on Latin America.

The Regional Finance Specialist will ensure the due follow-up of the financial policies and processes, will identify the improvement areas and will offer some recommendations to the senior management.

She/ he will also ensure a perfect link and coordination between the financial tasks (budget construction and budget follow-up) and the accounting tasks (review of the accounting allocations and check with the forecasted expenses and the Master Budget).


The Regional Finance Specialist will ensure an efficient follow-up for the accounting and the financial reporting of the Country Offices in Latin America, especially for Country Offices requesting some support and/or being considered by the senior management as requiring additional attention.

This involves sometimes a direct participation in the work to be done, notably to take the lead if some reports have to be produced for donors.

By Latin America, it should be understood the coverage of Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Mexico. This position will not have to cover the other countries which are part of the WANALA Region.

This position is a senior but non-managerial position, requiring a strong previous experience in finance management and within the humanitarian sector and/or international organization, while also requesting a solid understanding of the different procedures and policies in place.

This position also requires a full professional proficiency in English and Spanish languages.

3. Duties and Responsibilities
The main responsibilities and tasks of the Regional Finance Specialist are the following:

Accounting and ERP System (Dynamics)

  • To review the bookings done in the accounting, and to ensure the due reallocations if necessary, for projects considered deserving additional attention by the senior management;
  • To provide direct support and, if needed, tevhnical guidance for the the monthly accounting closure for the countries of Latin America, especially in case of gaps;
  • To help the countries of Latin America in terms of compliance of the financial documentation (preparation of audits; comprehensive review of the financial documents for some projects and/or reports);
  • To ensure that the DRc ERP System (DRC Dynamics) is properly used and duly updated with all the requested financial information about all the projects implemented in the countries of Latin America;
  • To monitor the correct booking within DRC Dynamics and the correct affectations to different projects (and to support if needed some countries).
