Quote This Woman+ (QW+) is a feminist, pan-African media non-profit working to shift who gets heard in the news. We support journalists to find women+ experts across Africa and strengthen public-interest storytelling that reflects the realities of diverse African communities. We operate across multiple funders and countries, with complex reporting duties and delivery timelines. Strong internal systems are essential for our work.

We are looking for a part time finance and operations professional who can strengthen QW+ from the inside and create a stable, well-organised foundation for all programmes. Someone who can think in systems as well as in detail, work independently, foresee problems and support our small team with some of the heavy lifting around finances, people management, managing deadlines, and reporting processes.

We are offering part-time, steady work for a middle-manager who is familiar with feminist thinking and the non-profit space. Some of the work requires a handle on power analysis, donor management, and governance requirements, while other parts of the job involve crunching numbers, performing reconciliations, and following up with team members to ensure deliverables are met. You should be comfortable setting up systems, making sure they are followed, and improving them thoughtfully as appropriate.

If you enjoy creating clarity and order, if you can run multi-funder budgets and workplans without needing oversight, and if you understand how feminist values shape internal operations, HR practices and decision making, then this role is for you.

This role combines high-level thinking around systems, complexity, risk, flow, and governance, with the routine but necessary grunt work required in a small, feminist organisation.  Applicants should be comfortable owning both the thinking and the detail.
Key Responsibilities

1. Financial management
2. Operational Systems and Planning
3. Donor and Compliance Support
4. HR, Performance and Contracting
5. Programme and Event Administration
6. Organisational Sustainability and Technology Alignment
7. Board Secretariat and Governance Support

We are looking for someone who has:
  • Strong hands-on operations or administration experience, ideally in a non-profit or multi-funder organisation
  • Proven ability to manage workplans, Gantt charts and multi-project delivery timelines
  • High problem-solving and organisational skill, hands-on attention to detail
  • Experience reconciling multi-funder budgets and preparing financial inputs
  • Strong digital literacy (Google Workspace, spreadsheets, shared drives and workflow tools)
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to give and receive feedback
  • A feminist, anti-oppressive approach to organisational culture
  • Ability to work independently and meet deadlines consistently
  • Experience working in African contexts (advantageous)

This is a part-time salaried role with a monthly salary between ZAR20 000 and ZAR30 000, depending on your level of experience and independence. Applicants who can confidently lead systems, manage multi-funder workflows and strengthen organisational sustainability will be considered at the top of the range. You will be asked to indicate your expected salary within this range when you apply.
