Do you want to put your financial competencies to work for the benefit of people in need? Are you motivated by working in an international setting with colleagues from around the world? Do you thrive in a job with a wide range of financial tasks?

If you can answer “yes” to the above, then you might be our new colleague.

DCA is a Danish NGO supporting the poorest of the poor, with 4 strategic goals: Saving lives, Build resilient communities, Fight extreme inequality and Engage with its constituency. As a Financial advisor, you will join our headquarters finance unit, in Team ‘Projects’.
