Project Onboarding Specialists (POS)

The USAID-funded State-Owned Enterprises Reform Activity (SOERA) supports Government of Ukraine (GOU) efforts to operate a transparent, accountable, and effective state-owned enterprise (SOE) sector that can meet the needs of the Ukrainian people and its economy. Toward that end, SOERA fosters the transparent and effective governance of SOEs and the privatization of state assets to the private sector. In addition, to address critical needs during wartime and in the subsequent postwar period, SOERA is helping the GOU and critical SOEs fulfill their sustainment, service delivery, and recovery functions. SOERA also supports the GOU’s ability to receive, spend, and account for budget funds provided via international budget transfers, and works to help bring about Ukraine’s effective, efficient, and corruption-free recovery and reconstruction.

To enable the effective and efficient expansion of SOERA activities, and to meet the rapidly increasing need for new long- and short-term staff, SOERA requires the services of one or more full-time Project Onboarding Specialists (POS). These specialists will work out of SOERA’s Ukraine office(s) and will implement and support the full life cycle of bringing on new team members, from helping develop TORs and position descriptions through recruitment, vetting, negotiation, hiring, and mobilization of new staff.
