Communications Specialist

Огляд

The eight-year USAID Democratic Governance East (DG East) Activity aims to strengthen the connection and trust between citizens and their government in eastern and southern Ukraine by promoting an inclusive civic identity and common civic values and addressing the divisive impacts and the consequences of the ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine. DG East works to (1) develop greater acceptance of a shared civic culture based on common values and understandings, and to (2) increase participation to improve Ukraine’s governance and reform processes and help to resolve community problems. DG East activities are implemented across four regional portfolios and an office in Kyiv.

The Communications Specialist will support DG East’s reporting, communications, and outreach efforts. Responsibilities include managing social media accounts, drafting success stories, coordinating with media vendors, ensuring adherence to USAID branding guidelines, and assisting with event organization and management. The Communications Specialist will ensure that all communications materials align with USAID/Ukraine’s strategic objectives and maintain DG East’s content and quality standards.
