Executive-level, Full-time staff position

Location: Kyiv, Ukraine

Closing Date: February 11, 2024

Deloitte Consulting LLP, headquartered in Arlington, VA, is currently accepting expressions of interest from qualified candidates for a Deputy Chief of Party for an anticipated 5-year, USAID-funded Ukraine New Physical Rehabilitation Activity. The goal of the project is to enhance rehabilitation services in Ukraine within the context of the overall health system reform. The Activity seeks to restore health services and create new infrastructure, technology, and workforce capabilities, not only to meet the pre-war demand for multidisciplinary rehabilitation, but to also meet new demands inflicted by the war. The key gaps and opportunities in strengthening the physical rehabilitation sector are around workforce, systematic access to rehabilitation services at all levels of the health care system, health data management, care coordination, recovery services, and integration across categories of healthcare. This Activity presents an opportunity to increase the role of the private sector to deliver devices and technologies and provide rehabilitation services to patients needing specialized care. Applicants must be willing and able to work in Ukraine, as this position is expected to be full time and based in-country.

This position is contingent upon project award and approval.

• Ensure effective use of resources and on-time delivery of staff and partner deliverables, identify issues and risks related to program implementation on time, and suggest appropriate program adjustments;
• Represent the project professionally in external communications, events, and meetings as may be required;
• Support the management of risks of project implementation and implement risk mitigation techniques;
• Provide regular written updates on the status of performance to the Chief of Party;
• Serve as Acting COP when COP is unavailable.
