Legal Project Manager in Mriya

Mriya is a public educational ecosystem for students, parents/guardians and teachers that inspires learning and helps find yourself in the modern world. This is an initiative of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, which is implemented by the Ministry of Statistics and the Ministry of Education and Culture with the support of the EGAP Program, which is implemented by the Eastern Europe Fund at the expense of Switzerland. If you want to be in the team of those who change the approach to education, respond to the vacancy as soon as possible!

Educational reforms require quick, effective and creative solutions. But at the same time, they are implemented in an environment where there are strict legal requirements. Tenders, contracts, public reporting — everything must be documented, substantiated and verified. There are many stakeholders — state, donor, public, with their own requirements. Therefore, we are looking for a person who will monitor legal restrictions and look for solutions within them that preserve the effectiveness of the project.

• Knowledge of English at the Intermediate+ level

• Completed higher legal education

Will be a plus:

• Experience in legal support of non-profit organizations or state-owned enterprises

What you will do:

• Interaction with the legal team of the state enterprise and ministry - setting tasks, supporting documents, monitoring statuses.

• Control of the process of collecting internal requests from the team to legal teams

• Organization and control of the process of signing contracts, ensuring compliance of documents with established requirements.
