Our Take on This Opportunity
This section reflects Open Opportunities’ own analysis of the opportunity from an applicant’s perspective.
You may be a strong fit if…
- Strong fit for professionals in Ukraine with background in statistics, data management, and humanitarian monitoring.
- Ideal for candidates experienced in analysing household survey data and coordinating field monitoring activities.
- A great opportunity for individuals wanting to directly support emergency food security and humanitarian relief efforts.
What should you think carefully about?
- The position is restricted strictly to Ukrainian nationals or residents holding a legal work permit in Ukraine.
- It is a 12-month renewable service contract, meaning employment is fixed-term rather than permanent.

This role offers an impactful career step within the world's largest humanitarian organisation, allowing you to build deep expertise in monitoring and evaluation while directly supporting critical food security operations during an active crisis.
