Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)

The British Embassy in Kyiv is part of a world-wide network, representing British political, economic and consular interests overseas and is now looking to recruit two experienced projects and programmes managers, to contribute towards successful delivery of the UK’s Good Governance Fund (GGF) and separately the UK’s Conflict, Security and Stability Fund (CSSF) in Ukraine.

These are both important roles in the Embassy’s Programme Team and the wider Embassy. The Programme Manager will be responsible for a significant portion of the Programme portfolio in Ukraine. This will include developing relationships with stakeholders, evaluating and developing new project proposals, and monitoring and supporting the administration and financial management of existing projects. In the team the Programme Manager will also be expected to lead on specific requirements across the portfolio, such as due diligence, monitoring and evaluation, forecasting or risk – and to assist the Programme Officer in project and programme administration.

Both jobs require use of judgement, as well as past experience and lessons learnt, to ensure the portfolio is managed effectively. It will be important to balancing accountability principles and other standards with ensuring administration is proportionate and that the focus is on achieving impact. They will also need to develop strong working relationships with other Embassy colleagues, and the central Unit in London. There will be scope for developing roles and responsibilities further. There are also opportunities in the Embassy for learning wider skills and taking part in our corporate activities.

GGF Role: This position will support the Head of Good Governance Fund in his work overseeing a portfolio of around £11m, consisting of projects of various sizes and covering governance reforms, political development, and inclusive economic growth. These are implemented by NGOs, IFIs, multilateral organisations, consultants and experts, contracting organisations and directly by parts of the UK Government or agencies.

CSSF Role: We are looking for a motivated, well-organised person who is enthusiastic about the importance of value for money, attention to detail and strong oversight to help deliver peace-building, security and humanitarian projects that have real impact for Ukraine. This position will support the Regional Conflict Advisor to lead on the delivery of the CSSF Programme (over £13m a year), taking ownership of specific projects within the portfolio, alongside wider thematic responsibilities.
