At IREX we strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people and communities thrive.
But around the globe, persistent poverty, repression, and injustice prevent too many people form achieving their full potential. To address these problems, we focus on people, not on vaccines, roads, or wells. We support individuals and institutions to create change in their own communities—and to create person to person bridges between nations.
IREX works with partners in more than 100 countries in four areas essential to progress: cultivating leaders, empowering youth, strengthening institutions, and increasing access to quality education and information.
Finance and Subgrants Assistant services will be solicited on a full-time basis to ensure the smooth finance operations of IREX office in Kyiv and provide support to all programs implemented by IREX in Ukraine, by assisting the teams on a range of finance, procurement and subgrants related issues. This position reports directly to the Sr. Finance and Budget Manager and will work closely with Senior Accountant, Accountant and Sr. Finance & Subgrants Coordinator.
