The British Embassy in Kyiv is the official representation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Ukraine. The Embassy recruiting an experienced Programme and Project Manager (PPM) to join the highly dynamic Integrated Security Fund (ISF) Programme Team. The Integrated Security Fund (ISF) succeeded the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) in April 2024.

Among other programmatic areas, the PPM will lead on overseeing and supporting design of initiatives related to (i) resilience and stabilisation, (ii) enhancing human security and peaceful conditions, and (iii) drivers of stability in Ukraine whilst promoting gender equality and social inclusion.

Working closely with implementers, key stakeholders and colleagues across the Embassy and in the UK, you will communicate, coordinate and provide advice on the delivery of sustainable UK funded projects in Ukraine.
