Counsel, Institutional & Co-financing Unit (Nuclear Safety)
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has achieved a vast amount in our 20-year history. Supporting the growth of open, democratic markets, we’re the largest financial investor in our regions of operation. Ultimately, our work makes people’s lives better. Be part of it.
About the role
Part of our Institutional & Co-financing Unit, the Nuclear Safety Department manages funds contributed by the international community to decommission Soviet-designed nuclear power plants. Your focus will be to provide expert legal advice and support on institutional and co-financing issues for our six safety and decommissioning funds. Negotiating and drafting everything from contribution agreements to rule amendments and funding applications, you’ll administer key aspects of the funds. You’ll also advise EBRD member states in the development of legislation and design key regional and international documents. And you’ll do it both in our existing regions of operation and in areas the Bank is potentially expanding into – namely, the Southern & Eastern Mediterranean. It’s an exciting role. One where you’ll have plenty of potential to develop as you make sure we realise our mission in accordance with our own governing policies as well as the laws of our countries of operation.
About you
To succeed, you’ll need a minimum of five years’ experience, the right to practice law in at least one jurisdiction and a well-developed knowledge of civil or common law. You’ll have spent a significant amount of time working at either an international financial institution or a public sector body, and will therefore be adept at dealing with matters of public international law or nuclear safety. In addition, you’ll have a law degree from a leading university in your own country. Ideally, this will be supported by a postgraduate qualification gained abroad plus relevant professional experience in Central and Eastern Europe or Central Asia. As a result, you’ll be confident dealing with public and private bodies in these regions and will bring us a proven ability to draft and negotiate accurate, high-quality documents in Russian or another relevant language.
About us
Owned by 61 countries, the EU and the European Investment Bank, the EBRD supports projects whose funding needs cannot be fully met by the market. We have operations in 29 countries from Central Europe to Central Asia, and we’re currently working on projects with a combined value of almost €180bn. Each project is unique, but they all share common goals of encouraging private investment and promoting secure and stable market economies.
