By the end of the decade, we're building toward five to seven major funds across education, livelihoods, health, and beyond.<br><br>We're looking for a Head of Finance to build the function to make that scale possible. If you're excited by building financial structures and teams capable of deploying capital at that scale, we’d love to hear from you.<br><br>Note: This is a fully remote position. We’re able to hire between -6 UTC (US Central Time) and +3 UTC (East Africa Time). Candidates should be legally eligible to work in their country - we are only able to sponsor visas in exceptional circumstances.<br><br>About Prevail Fund<br><br>Prevail is a new foundation dedicated to catalyzing large-scale social change by supporting private philanthropists and field implementers to pursue more ambitious and impactful goals. We work with private philanthropists to fund specific initiatives for 10-12 years. Rather than diversifying across multiple causes, we prioritize deep, strategic investments in proven solutions with the potential to reshape global norms. For example, our first fund aims to improve foundational education for over 27.5 million children across 11 national governments in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.<br><br>Prevail provides patient capital to implementers – primarily in the form of grants that grow over time as our partner organizations scale. In addition to funding, Prevail also offers a suite of systems and talent development services designed to address common growth barriers and prepare partner organizations for accelerated scale.<br><br>To achieve our goals, we're assembling a team of results-oriented individuals with strong implementation experience and a passion for delivering impact at scale through strategic philanthropy.<br><br>In Our First Three Years, We've<br><br>Provided $50M+ in funding to date, to support 25+ partners across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, growing very quickly Helped partners to strengthen foundational learning outcomes for over 3 million children Hired 35+ mission-driven team members Executed dozens of in-field projects to help support key functions for our implementing partners<br><br>You can find a bit more information about Prevail Fund and what to expect from our recruitment process here.
<br><br>About The Role<br><br>We have successfully launched a $1.2bn education fund, and we will launch two further funds this year. In the next few years, we will be directly running multiple large funds across different sectors, and indirectly supporting other funds as well.<br><br>We’re looking for a Head of Finance to work directly with David Hylden (Co Founding Partner) to build a finance function to make that scale possible. With the right people, systems and technology, you will help to shape how billions of dollars are structured, allocated and ultimately translated into impact.<br><br>What You’ll Do<br><br>Build Prevail’s capital infrastructure: Design and operationalize the financial, legal, and giving structures that enable Prevail to receive, steward, and deploy philanthropic capital with trust, compliance, and speed across funds, entities, donors, and geographies. This includes owning Prevail's legal infrastructure - entity structuring, jurisdictional compliance, and external legal resourcing - without necessarily having a legal background yourself Lead financial strategy and capital allocation: Help Prevail make ambitious but responsible decisions about how much capital it needs, how much it can responsibly commit, when it can deploy funds. This involves leading Prevail’s budgeting, reserve planning, scenario planning and capital allocation analysis that will lead to clear recommendations for leadership and the Board. The Head of Finance will translate those decisions into practical financial plans and operating guidance Build a technology-enabled finance function: Build and lead a lean, technology-enabled finance function that enables Prevail to grow rapidly and deploy more capital for impact. You will identify the gaps, hire the right people, and develop them into a high-performing team. You will also prioritise and leverage tech/AI solutions that make the function faster, more efficient and scalable, rather than always defaulting to growing with additional headcount. Lead partner financial diligence and shape cost-effectiveness approach: Surface financial risks and potential grantee issues early through clear, practical diligence. In collaboration with Partner Support and program teams, help Prevail and its partners understand current program costs, cost structures at scale, unit economics, financial health, and capacity to absorb additional funding.<br><br>About you: You’ll thrive in fast-paced environments and bring:<br><br>Work experience. You have 10+ years of relevant experience, ideally in a CFO, Head of Finance, or other senior finance role. You're interested in big-bet philanthropy and global development. Experience in the development space is an asset but not required. Excellent financial modeling and analytical judgment. You are highly comfortable building and interrogating financial models, budgets, scenarios, and investment cases. You can identify the real decision at stake, and help leaders understand tradeoffs. Strong finance fundamentals. You bring strong judgment across budgeting, accounting, controls, audit, compliance, treasury, restricted funding, and financial reporting. You do not need to have done everything yourself, but you know what good vs. great looks like and can build the right team, systems, and external support around the work. Experience with complex financial structures. You are excited by the challenge of designing practical financial infrastructure for a growing organization. Experience with multi-entity, multi-country, restricted funding, grants, investments, donor-advised funds, fiscal sponsorships, or cross-border funding structures would be a strong plus. Clear track record of using tech/tools to build efficiencies: You are genuinely excited about what AI and modern finance tools can do, and you have a consistent track-record of leveraging technology and developing lean and effective processes. You default to systems and automation over headcount, and you have the technical fluency to evaluate tools yourself rather than just delegate the question. Strong people manager: You have a clear track record of building and supporting high performing teams. Clear communicator and humility. You can explain complex financial issues clearly to leadership, program teams, donors, partners, and the Board, and bring humor, patience, and a service-oriented approach to the work.<br><br>What We Offer<br><br>Full time, permanent contract. Fully remote position with opportunity to travel 2-4 times per year. Competitive salary based on experience, skills and location. We share salary bands with candidates before the first call; final offers are based on interview performance. Meaningful benefits.

Job Purpose: To lead and take end-to-end accountability for project delivery performance globally — from order award through final completion, protecting project margin and ensuring on-time, on-quality delivery in line with the Target Operating Model, so that the organisation converts awarded contracts into profitable, reliable outcomes for clients and the business. DIMENSIONS<br><br>Key Accountabilities / Performance Measures:<br><br>Lead, develop and execute project delivery strategy<br><br>• Owns end-to-end value stream performance — bid margin through final

portfolio, ensuring consistent planning discipline and comparability of delivery performance across projects.<br><br>• Monitors and reports project margin at completion vs. award, providing early visibility of margin erosion so corrective action can be taken before final completion.<br><br>• Identifies delivery risks across the project portfolio and drives mitigation actions, reducing the likelihood and impact of delivery failures on cost, schedule or client satisfaction.<br><br>• Drives continuous improvement in project delivery methodology and tools, raising the consistency and efficiency of delivery execution across the organisation over time.<br><br>Order-to-Cash & EPC Interface<br><br>• Owns the end-to-end Order-to-Cash (O2C) process from contract award through to delivery completion, ensuring revenue is recognised and collected in line with contractual milestones rather than delayed by disconnected handovers.<br><br>• Acts as the primary interface with EPC contractors and clients on schedule, scope and technical delivery matters, ensuring delivery commitments are aligned and disputes are resolved before they impact project outcomes.<br><br>• Tracks and actions milestone achievement and invoicing triggers, ensuring cash conversion keeps pace with physical progress and working capital is protected.<br><br>• Coordinates with Finance (Treasury & Credit) on billing and collections milestones, ensuring collections risk is identified early and resolved in partnership with Finance rather than surfacing as a delivery-side surprise.<br><br>Change Control & Claims Management<br><br>• Establishes and governs change control processes across all active projects, ensuring scope, cost and schedule variations are captured and approved consistently rather than left to ad-hoc handling.<br><br>• Owns claims management strategy, including identification, documentation and negotiation, securing fair commercial recovery on entitled claims and protecting the company's contractual position with clients and EPC partners.<br><br>• Drives disciplined variation and claims governance, protecting project margin from erosion due to unmanaged scope creep or unresolved commercial exposure.<br><br>Global Scheduling & Delivery Cadence<br><br>• Owns the global project schedule and portfolio-level delivery prioritisation, ensuring resources and priorities are sequenced to protect on-time delivery across the global portfolio.<br><br>• Facilitates the weekly delivery control / monthly S&OP cadence, aligning demand, capacity, supply and delivery priorities to keep the global portfolio synchronised and prevent conflicting local decisions.<br><br>• Maintains live action logs and drives decisions through the cadence rather than bilateral escalation, ensuring

delivery commitments over individual country or functional interests.<br><br>Field Services<br><br>• Oversees the Field Services function and its integration into project delivery, ensuring field

execution and country P&L discipline, ensuring project delivery decisions are aligned with country-level financial and operational priorities.<br><br>• Coordinates with the Engineering & Industrialisation Director on bid-to-delivery technical transfer, ensuring technical scope and assumptions carry through accurately from award into execution.<br><br>• Coordinates with the Supply Chain Director on material and logistics dependencies, ensuring supply constraints are identified early and factored into delivery scheduling to protect on-time completion.<br><br>• Represents project delivery performance to the COO, CEO, ExCom and Board as required, providing senior leadership with an accurate and timely view of delivery status, risk and margin performance to support business decisions.<br><br>• Liaises with clients to resolve delivery-related issues and directs corrective actions, protecting client relationships and contract outcomes.<br><br>Teamwork and Employee
