We are looking for a Russian-speaking Projects Support Officer to join our dynamic Eurasia team working on the South Caucasus in order to provide grants management, events management and project implementation support to specific projects within the Eurasia programme. We are looking for a highly organised and flexible individual with a ‘can-do’, customer-focused attitude, because while the main focus of the position is financial administration and logistics, the post requires frequent communication and liaison with project partners, requiring excellent interpersonal and communication skills (both verbal and written).

You will be responsible for administering timely internal and donor financial reports and ensuring a budget balance; contributing to narrative internal and donor reports; budgeting and organising logistics for events; participating in the development and implementation of particular activities and projects; providing general administrative support to senior project staff. Additionally, you will develop effective relationships and maintain frequent contact with partners in the field, and conduct on-going monitoring and evaluation of projects and activities.
