Administrative and Financial Assistant
Working efficiently, effectively and in a spirit of partnership, we support people and societies in developing, transition and industrialized countries in shaping their own futures and improving living conditions. This is what the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is all about. As a federally owned enterprise, we support the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We are also engaged in international education work around the globe.
The joint Administration and Finance Unit (AFU) in the governance cluster is being created to provide quality services to the entire cluster portfolio. In the future, administrative and finance positions within governance projects will be jointly managed in this facility. The goal is to create administrative and finance services that are result orientated, resilient, flexible and at the same time provide viable development opportunities for admin and finance staff.
Inspired by the GIZ leadership principle of cooperation and leadership, this unit will be led by two managers in co-leadership. While having their own technical areas of responsibility, both managers will share the overall responsibility for the performance of the unit, staff development and quality of services.
