This remote, part-time position offers the chance to manage essential financial processes while supporting organisations working to solve social and environmental challenges.

The role is designed for a detail-oriented finance professional who enjoys hands-on accounting work, maintaining accurate records, and improving operational systems within a mission-led environment.

Remote Finance Role Supporting Social Innovation and Impact

Social Tech Trust is a UK foundation that supports technology ventures addressing important social and environmental issues. The organisation also shares operational infrastructure with Social Tech Ventures, an independent early-stage venture fund established with support from the Trust.

• Remote working arrangement with occasional meetings in London.
• Part-time commitment of three days per week.
• Initial six-month fixed-term contract with potential extension.
• Salary range of £35,000–£40,000 per year (full-time equivalent, pro rata).
• Opportunity to work within a purpose-driven organisation supporting technology-based solutions.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

The successful candidate will take ownership of daily finance administration and ensure that financial processes are completed accurately and efficiently.

Major responsibilities include:

• Maintaining finance records using accounting systems such as Xero.

• Grant tracking and restricted fund management.
• Recording income and expenditure against correct projects and cost categories.
• Maintaining clear records of capital movements and fund activities.
• Managing intercompany transactions and shared costs.
