Job Description

Global Energy Monitor is seeking an experienced Grants Finance Manager to join our Finance & Operations team.

The Grants Finance Manager is responsible for ensuring that all grant funding is tracked, allocated, and spent in alignment with funder requirements. A key member of the Finance & Operations team & Development team, this role also works closely with Program Directors to build grant budgets, monitor spending, and prepare financial reports.

The Grants Finance Manager maintains a clear, organization-wide view of how grants support programs, staff, and operations. They help program staff understand available funding and identify gaps. This position also builds and improves systems for tracking grant finances across multiple funding sources.

GEM is funded primarily through a complex portfolio of restricted program grants, alongside a growing base of more flexible funding.
