Consultant Finance Coordinator – Budget Monitoring in Mumbai | SNEHA

Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action (SNEHA)

SNEHA is a Mumbai-based non-profit working to improve the health, nutrition and safety of women and children living in vulnerable urban communities. It works alongside families in those communities rather than around them, so that change is owned locally and lasts.

This work runs across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. This role sits within SNEHA's finance function, which tracks how project money is planned, spent and reported back to the funders who make the work possible.
