Project or context description

The PravoJustice4EU programme seeks one (1) Senior National Key Expert to support its effort in strengthening institutional capacity of other justice sector bodies contributing to rule of law implementation.

Programme Description

The PravoJustice4EU Programme, implemented by Expertise France (EF) with funding from the European Union and Foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accompanies Ukrainian authorities in the process of comprehensive justice sector reform. EU4Pravo-Justice is envisaged to build on the results achieved by the predecessor projects (Pravo - Justice I; II; III) who, since 2017, have supported an ambitious sectoral reform agenda. PravoJustice4EU is organized alongside two specific objectives: Support the EU accession process by aligning the Ukrainian justice system to EU standards (Pillar 1), and Support a process of accountability for core international crimes aligned on European and international standards and foster a holistic transitional justice approach (Pillar 2).  

Among other objectives, the PravoJustice4EU programme will provide support in strengthening institutional capacity of other justice sector bodies contributing to rule of law implementation.

Although the intensive support provided under Pravo Justice III in the area of court decision enforcement and insolvency has generated substantial results and contributed to notable improvements, the complexity of the sector and the broader economic and social environment in which it operates necessitate continued efforts and further support. Additional assistance remains essential to strengthen the capacity of the system to ensure effective and efficient procedures, thereby contributing to economic stability and sustainable growth, as well as enhancing public trust and confidence in the administration of justice.

  • An advanced Law Degree (Masters or PhD) from an accredited law school.
  • At least 10 years of professional experience in the justice sector and policy making/steering;
  • Demonstrated experience in project management, including at the senior level;
  • At least 5 years of experience with technical assistance projects funded by the European Union or other international donors.
  • Fluency in both Ukrainian and English.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following qualities:

·         Excellent project management and stakeholder management skills

·     A high degree of initiative and diplomacy and the ability to solve complex problems in coordination with a diverse range of stakeholders.

·         Outstanding emotional intelligence skills

·         Ability in influencing, coaching and delivering change through others

·         A creative and entrepreneurial approach to overcoming barriers and making change happen; and the ability to cope in emotionally demanding environments.
