Dear candidate,
The Mines Advisory Group (MAG) stands at a pivotal moment in its history.
Around the world, geopolitical shifts, donor realignments and escalating humanitarian needs are transforming the landscape in which we work. Traditional sources of aid are under growing pressure and funding models that once felt stable are being redefined. Yet amidst this uncertainty, MAG’s mission to save lives, ease suffering and help communities rebuild after conflict has never been more vital or more urgent.
Despite these challenges, we enter this period with confidence and momentum. The recent award of the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize, the world’s largest and most prestigious humanitarian award, recognises not only MAG’s enduring impact but also its potential to shape the future of humanitarian mine action and armed violence reduction.
Our requirement for strategic financial insight and accountability, as well as systems designed to ensure maximum efficiency, has never been more critical.
The role of Executive Director, Finance and Digital Transformation is a unique opportunity to drive change that has meaningful impact. As part of our newly formed Executive Team, this role will bring strategic leadership to our finances and ensure that MAG is well positioned to harness the advantages that a cohesive and forward thinking approach to systems and technology will bring.
Working across finance, governance & risk, strategic projects, and digital technology, we are seeking someone who is adept at driving change, focusing on effectiveness and accountability, and ensuring that the CEO, Board of Trustees, and Executive Team have information and strategic foresight that enables long term decision making.
Our Strategic Framework 2024–2028 sets out bold ambitions: to strengthenour systems, secure our sustainability and amplify our voice on the world stage. Delivering these ambitions requires creative, strategic and values driven leadership, and a deep belief in the power of human generosity to drive change.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to join an organisation that is both deeply rooted in its humanitarian principles and bold in its vision for the future.
The Executive Director, Finance & Digital Transformation is a unique opportunity to be part of building a movement of partners and supporters who share our determination to create a safer, more dignified future for all.
If you share that belief, we would be delighted to hear from you.
With warm regards,
Darren Cormack
