About the Ukraine programme:

Since the Russian invasion of 24 February 2022, Ukraine has been subjected to heavy artillery bombardment, missile, and air strikes, as well as the use of landmines and cluster munitions. The scale of the conflict and the use of high impact and indiscriminate weapons requires an urgent and extensive response. MAG responded to the crisis in 2022 and now employs nearly 440 staff in our Ukraine programme, in a range of operational and support/administrative activities, with further scale-up planned during 2026. The programme has a representation office in Kyiv, and operational offices in Mykolaiv (also covering accessible areas of Kherson) and Kharkiv.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare and maintain regular budget versus actual analysis for Ukraine projects, departments and cost centres, highlighting significant variances, trends and areas requiring follow-up.

• Support the preparation and updating of programme forecasts, working with budget holders and the Ukraine Finance team to ensure assumptions are clear, reasonable and supported.
