WHO WE ARE

Good Governance Fund is a technical assistance project funded by the British Government through 2024. The Portfolio Management Unit (PMU) is a management organisation of the fund charged with assessing the support needs and designing projects to be funded through the GGF. Our work covers a broad scope of reforms, ranging from supporting SMEs and modelling the supply/demand of electricity to building a new and welcoming investor environment in Ukraine. We offer a truly “helicopter view” of Ukrainian reforms and have re-focused our effort to recovery initiatives after the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine.

WHAT WE OFFER

As the Administrative Assistant, you will get a chance to assist with projects advancing recovery in a broad range of sectors. Based at our office in Kyiv, you will provide administrative support to a team of managers, project designers and implementing partners working in a truly global team (4 time zones) across Ukraine, the UK and Canada. We take the security of our staff seriously and, therefore, adapt our working practices to the current security situation, which we continuously re-evaluate.

For a junior professional, this would be a great opportunity to start a career in international development and transition to programmatic roles later. We also offer centrally located modern office facilities, a competitive compensation package, free coffee as well as ample parking space.
