Subgrants Assistant at CSO Ukraine programs at IREX

Who We Are

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.

IREX is currently implementing several technical assistance projects in Ukraine and is looking for a subgrant assistant to support three of them. These projects are: United Voices in Action 2 (VIA 2), the Ukraine Rapid Response Fund, and the Ukraine Veteran Rehabilitation and Reintegration Program. Each of these initiatives aims to help vulnerable populations within Ukraine and support local organizations.

Subgrants Assistant services will be solicited on a full-time basis to ensure the smooth subgrants implementation under the 3 projects implemented in Ukraine, by assisting the teams on a range of finance and subgrants related issues. This position reports directly to the Finance Manager and will work closely with the project and finance teams.
