Previously having worked in Government, CFO Jane Cunliffe talks with Hannah about her first 12 months at Oxfam.

Her journey into finance is a little unorthodox. Starting off as a policy professional at the Department of Education, she went on to work for Nick Clegg’s office – Deputy PM at the time, then moving on to the Treasury where she developed her passion for finance.

In a whirlwind first year, Jane describes how she’s had to make some tough decisions as part of the restructure at Oxfam; letting colleagues go, withdrawing from certain countries and delving into the reserves to make ends meet as COVID took hold.

This episode covers:

• Restructuring a global not-for-profit company
• The advantages and disadvantages of remote communication
• Streamlining the finance function
• Creative finance strategy
• Translating data and information for non-finance colleagues
