The role represents a transition from managing an HR function within a single organisation to designing and implementing systemic solutions in youth employment, employability and career development.

• Contribute to the national-level implementation of the Youth Guarantee in Ukraine, in line with EU standards and best practices

• Provide expert support throughout the Youth Guarantee implementation cycle: preparation, piloting, scaling and institutionalisation

• Integrate strategic HR approaches (talent acquisition, career pathways, skills development, workforce planning) into national employment programmes

• Contribute to the design and strengthening of coordination mechanisms among ministries, employment services, education providers and social partners

• Support the development of sustainable HR and employment tools ensuring the long-term functioning of the Youth Guarantee beyond the pilot phase

• Work with data, analytics and practical employment experience to transform insights into scalable national solutions

• Engage as an expert with international partners and donors (EU, international organisations)

• Support the development of monitoring, evaluation and continuous improvement approaches for the Youth Guarantee

• Perform additional youth employment–related tasks assigned by key ministerial stakeholders

  • skills and competency management

  • labour market dynamics

• Interest in national, social and international projects, beyond the corporate HR environment

• Experience working with public institutions or international organisations is an advantage

Requirements
