The Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has caused a severe and highly complex humanitarian emergency with global impact not witnessed in Europe for over 70 years. The international response has been significant, with exceptional support provided by many donor countries and organizations. UNOPS, with its ability to add considerable value in its core areas of infrastructure, procurement, and project management services, is part of the response to the ongoing emergency and is expanding its capacity in the country to be able to provide robust and timely support over the long term, through the recovery and reconstruction phases.
Recognizing the enormity and complexity of the challenges ahead, UNOPS established a dedicated Ukraine Country Office (based in Kyiv), from where its operations will be planned, resourced, implemented, managed, and controlled in the months and years ahead, with the support of the UNOPS Europe and Central Asia Regional Office (based in Geneva) and UNOPS HQ (Copenhagen).
UNOPS Ukraine is looking to strengthen its communication function, specifically in relation to one of its largest projects under implementation at the moment, “School Repairs in Ukraine”, funded by the EU. The project aims to restore over 70 schools across four oblasts (Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv), providing around 20,000 students with safe learning environments. Project communications are expected to be extensive, as dozens of schools are repaired at the same time, and will require solid management and execution.
It is in this context that UNOPS Ukraine is looking to recruit a Communications Associate. The Associate will work closely with the Communications Analyst to implement the communications plan of the “School Repairs in Ukraine” project, as well as achieve UNOPS Ukraine’s overall communications objectives.
