Finance Internship

Job description

The Finance internship is a full-time position (40 hours per week) for a period of six months.

Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning network, which uses peaceful, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future.

An internship is available within the Finance Unit of Greenpeace International (GPI)! This Finance internship offers an exciting opportunity to sit within a busy Finance team within a fast moving global organisation.

GPI Finance is responsible for the Dutch entities (Stichtings) under its umbrella, making sure these are in compliance with Dutch and European rules and regulations. When necessary, the team can also advise the independent national and regional Greenpeace organisations on finance related issues.

You’ll gain experience supporting the daily workings of Greenpeace unit and have the opportunity to take on valuable project work. This Finance internship would suit someone who is keen to explore a career within Finance.

One important project you will focus on is supporting the team in organising and updating a GPI Finance Manual, the existing procedures and also looking into taxation ”good practice” guidance. Another project will look at supporting the Management Accountants team to set up clear and meaningful guidance on the budgeting process and the system we use. You will contribute to dynamic projects that will involve several colleagues within the organisation. Therefore you will need to demonstrate both patience and creativity, in order to analyse finance matters that may impact our organization. You will enjoy analysing information and be happy to confidently share your recommendations with others.

You will play an indispensable role in the development of these projects, and will need to be happy working both in a team and using your own initiative. You’ll need to be highly organised with great attention to detail, able to pro-actively juggle conflicting priorities in order to meet deadlines. With this in mind, we are looking for candidates with exceptional analytical skills, initiative and drive. We are looking for the ability to work independently, while following instructions and also proactively contributing to the project by anticipating needs and thinking creatively.

As well as taking on project work, you will also have the opportunity to build on your existing skills through on the job learning, taking on additional daily tasks within the team. In addition to the GPI staff induction programme, you will also have the opportunity to learn through shadowing the team and collaborating with key staff members.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate their support for, and belief in, the aims of Greenpeace and be able to commit to the full period of the internship, with some slight flexibility available around the start and end dates.
