Job Description/Requirements

We are a global company applying our successful model of landscape restoration to contribute to three of the world’s most critical environmental problems: the need for effective solutions to mitigate global climate change; holistic restoration of the world’s most degraded landscapes; and a growing population that requires sustainable alternatives for consumer products and markets that still contribute to deforestation and deforestation driven emissions. We have spent the last decade building the framework for bamboo to be a solution to achieve this through sustainable bamboo farms in Nicaragua, South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda and the Philippines.



In Ghana our operations are currently developing two bamboo reforestation projects on the North Bandai and the Bandai Hills Forest Reserve in the Ashanti Region, with a total project area of approximately 11,000 hectares, and current staffing teams of 650, representing 250 permanent full time employees and 400 seasonal workers.



Our operations are run from our headquarters in proximity to the forest reserves, approximately 45 minutes from the closest town of Agogo.



We are looking for an experienced Finance Manager who has a proven track record of connecting financial functions with the targeted outcomes of a business. We are looking for an individual who has the ability to pivot between strategic thinking and financial oversight of day to day operational activity. The position is the lead on all aspects related to finance, procurement, asset control and store management of the company's operations.



This position reports to the General Manager in Ghana while working closely with our corporate Vice President of Finance.
