What I'm looking for

I seek a field-based role in administration, HR or finance with a mission-driven organization where I can apply strong financial controls, HR management, and operational logistics to support program impact and staff development.

I am an experienced field Administration, HR and Finance Officer with a Bachelor in Business Administration and progressive field experience across South Sudan since 2013. I have managed budgeting, cash management, reconciliations, financial reporting and accounting entries using CYRUS and QuickBooks while ensuring donor compliance and internal controls.

I have supported end-to-end HR functions including payroll processing, recruitment, onboarding, performance appraisal and benefits administration for field teams of 50+ staff, and I provide training on finance, administration and PSEA. I also coordinate procurement, logistics, asset verification and vendor management to sustain field operations.

My approach emphasizes transparency, strong internal controls and practical problem solving in challenging field contexts. I seek to contribute my skills to mission-driven organizations focused on improving community outcomes in South Sudan.
