  • Working in shifts, under the guidance of the news editor, to keep the website’s news feed up to date;
  • Closely following the Ukrainian news agenda, its main newsmakers, as well as the international agenda in relation to Ukraine.

Requirements:

  • English language proficiency (C1 or native speaker);
  • Command of Ukrainian language (enough to read and understand news updates, as well as understand a statement delivered in a video/audio form);
  • Good understanding of news and current affairs in Ukraine and the region;
  • Journalistic experience would be considered an advantage;
  • Ability to communicate effectively with team members;
  • Ability to focus fully on work during your shifts;
  • Devotion to the values of independent journalism;
  • Being based in Kyiv would be considered an advantage.

 

We offer:
