Job Summary
FHI 360 is seeking applications for the position of Senior Technical Advisor, HIV Services for Key Populations under the USAID-funded Community Action for HIV Control Project (“Community Action”) in Ukraine. This five-year PEPFAR-funded project aims to accelerate Ukraine’s efforts to achieve HIV epidemic control by 2030 by improving prevention, testing, and linkage to care among key and priority populations. Community Action for HIV Control will improve accessibility, acceptability, equitable coverage and efficiency of HIV services, and will be implemented in close cooperation with the Center for Public Health (Ministry of Health, Ukraine). Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the project is now also supporting communities to access and restore essential health services disrupted by war, including basic health, other priority diseases, humanitarian assistance, mental health and psychosocial support. The project is led by Pact with FHI 360 as a technical implementing partner for HIV and other health services.
This position will be employed by FHI 360’s Subdivision in Ukraine and is expected to be based in Kyiv, Ukraine. However, due to the ongoing war and security situation, remote postings within or outside of Ukraine may be considered for this position.
Hiring for this position is contingent upon USAID approval.

While technical reporting will be to the project’s Chief of Party, administrative reporting will be to an Associate Director, Programs, based in FHI 360’s Headquarters office in the United States.
Specific Duties:
