Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You’ll manage the financial life cycle of grants—from budgeting and disbursement tracking to donor reporting and compliance. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with program teams to ensure funds are used efficiently, reconcile accounts, and prepare documentation for audits. Expect to liaise with local partners and ACF’s regional finance team to keep cash flow smooth.
Key skills to highlight
- Proven experience with donor regulations (e.g., USAID, ECHO, UN agencies) and multi-currency grant management.
- Advanced Excel for budget tracking and financial analysis.
- Strong knowledge of Zambian tax law and procurement procedures.
- Ability to translate complex financial data into clear reports for non-finance colleagues.
Taf4All CV tip
Create a “Grants Portfolio” section listing 2–3 past grants you managed, including donor name, budget size, and key compliance tasks (e.g., “EU grant EUR 500K – led quarterly financial reports and audit prep”). This directly shows ACF you can handle their project cycle.
Before you apply
Action Against Hunger (ACF) never asks for payment or personal bank details during recruitment. Verify the vacancy on ACF’s official careers page or LinkedIn—scammers sometimes copy UN-style postings. If contacted via WhatsApp or asked for “processing fees,” report it immediately.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
