Job Posting Organization:
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is a global development network established in 1965, operating in approximately 170 countries and territories. Its mission is to eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities through sustainable development. UNDP works closely with governments, civil society, and the private sector to help countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Ukraine, UNDP focuses on areas such as crisis response, public service provision, and civil society support, particularly in the context of the ongoing war, which has severely impacted the country's socio-economic landscape. The organization employs a diverse workforce and emphasizes the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in its operations, encouraging applications from marginalized populations.

Job Overview:
The Anti-Corruption Analyst position is critical for supporting the implementation of the Ukraine Recovery Programme (URP) and ensuring that anti-corruption measures are integrated into recovery projects. The role involves providing technical support to minimize risks associated with project implementation, enhancing transparency, community participation, and accountability. The incumbent will work closely with local stakeholders and beneficiaries to develop and implement anti-corruption activities, ensuring compliance with donor requirements and promoting best practices in project management. The position requires a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating corruption risks, as well as fostering a culture of integrity and accountability within the project framework.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Provide general project implementation support by offering consultative assistance to beneficiaries and local stakeholders in anti-corruption activities, organizing risk mitigation activities, and promoting human rights and gender equality in project implementation.
• Provide technical support in monitoring and risk mitigation by reviewing corruption risks in tenders, enhancing procurement systems, and conducting training on public procurement.
• Establish partnerships and ensure effective project delivery by coordinating with governmental and non-governmental organizations, preparing project reports, and sharing best practices in anti-corruption efforts.
• Support knowledge building and sharing by organizing public events, developing knowledge products, and disseminating best practices.
• Perform other relevant duties as assigned by UNDP management to enhance project outcomes and ensure compliance with project goals.

Required Qualifications:
Candidates must possess an advanced university degree (Master’s degree or equivalent) in Law, Finance, Economics, Public Management, Business Administration, or related fields. Alternatively, a first-level university degree (Bachelor’s degree) combined with two years of relevant experience will be considered. The role requires a strong understanding of anti-corruption issues and risk assessment in recovery projects, as well as experience in public service related to recovery efforts in conflict-affected regions. Familiarity with Ukrainian national laws and procedures is essential, along with the ability to apply gender-responsive approaches in project implementation.

Educational Background:

Experience:
The position requires a minimum of two years of relevant professional experience at the national or international level in anti-corruption issues or risk assessment in recovery projects for candidates with a Bachelor’s degree. Those with a Master’s degree are not required to have prior work experience. Desired experience includes working with international organizations, preparing project reports, and monitoring open sources of information related to anti-corruption efforts. Familiarity with the challenges faced in regions affected by armed conflict, particularly in Ukraine, is highly advantageous.

Languages:
Fluency in English and Ukrainian is mandatory for this position. Proficiency in additional languages may be considered an asset, but the primary requirement is strong communication skills in both English and Ukrainian to effectively engage with stakeholders and beneficiaries.

Additional Notes:
The position is full-time and involves working directly under the supervision of the National Project Manager of the Technical Assistance project.
