STATEMENT OF DUTIES:

­­­­­The USAID Mission to Ukraine is responsible for the development, implementation and oversight of USAID-funded programs operating throughout Ukraine. USAID development assistance promotes Ukraine’s transition to a democratic, prosperous, stable, healthy country united in its European aspirations. 

The USAID/Ukraine Office of Economic Growth (OEG) manages a large, dynamic portfolio of contracts and cooperative agreements focused on infrastructure development, trade and competitiveness, financial sector reform, agriculture, energy, state owned enterprises, and digital development. In the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, USAID programs are helping promote economic recovery across Ukraine. USAID has directed implementing partners to support continuity of the agriculture sector, support Ukrainian business and trade, restore energy systems and rebuild destroyed infrastructure, and address war-related disruptions to the overall economic sector. 

The Project Management Assistants (PMA) will work as part of OEG’s Program and Strategic Information team. The PMA will support respective Contract/Agreement Officer Representatives (C/AORs) to meet USAID management requirements in administering contracts, cooperative agreements, and grants. The PMA will help organize and maintain databases, files, and other information, support financial management, such as accruals, and prepare procurement documents, such as checklists. The PMA will summarize complex information in succinct and easy to understand reports, presentations, talking points, and one-pagers as directed by C/AORs. The PMA is expected to liaise with contractors, international donors, government actors, and multilateral institutions as directed by C/AORs to carry out her/his/their duties.
