• In-depth knowledge of the international multilateral system and its ways of working;

• Familiarity with the World Bank, EBRD, EIB and other international institutions, including procurement procedures

• Skills in internal and external communication, both orally and in writing;

• Analytical, networking and organisational skills.

We are looking for an open-minded, energetic and enthusiastic colleague. A team player who provides the Embassy with an additional and diverse network of contacts. Eager to share her/his knowledge and experience. High awareness of reform related developments in Ukraine. High sense of integrity and political awareness. Available for duty travel outside Kyiv. Function requires participation in events and accompanying delegations outside office hours (i.e. evenings or weekends). Well-developed organisational, administrative and communication skills. Ability to work on various projects at the same time.

You will cover reconstruction support for Ukraine. Even though the war is still ongoing Ukraine has started working on reconstructing the damages caused by the Russian invasion. Ukraine has chosen a decentralised approach based on the Rapid Damage Needs Assessment (RDNA) it has developed with the World Bank, UN and EU.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a staunch supporter of Ukraine. We support Ukraine mainly in the sectors of Water, Healthcare and Agriculture. Energy and infrastructure are also on top of the agenda.

The Netherlands partners with large multilateral organisations such as the UN, the World Bank (incl. IFC), EBRD and the EIB, and with the private sector. You will build and maintain a strong network in mentioned organisations and in the Ukrainian government. You will specifically monitor potential projects, identify possible (tender) opportunities for Dutch expertise and Dutch Private Sector and inform Dutch companies about procurement procedures.

You will do this in close cooperation with the Reconstruction Coordinator and the colleagues working in The Hague on this topic from the MFA International Enterprise Department (DIO/EM) and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO/TIO). You will also work closely with the other colleagues of the economic team, since a lot of the Dutch economic work is strongly related to reconstruction.

The deadline for applications is 17.05.2024!
