Project Manager (Education, Communities, Civic and International Initiatives)

Kharkiv IT Cluster is one of the largest IT communities in Ukraine. We bring together 1035+ companies and partners and work at the intersection of technology, education, business, and the civic sector, implementing projects with real social impact.

We are constantly looking for project managers who know how to work with people and processes, take responsibility for the implementation of initiatives, and are ready to contribute to various areas of the Cluster's activities.

Projects you may work on

At Kharkiv IT Cluster, a project manager may be involved in:

• educational and community projects — programs, courses, events, work with communities;
• civic, social, and charitable initiatives, including projects for veterans;
• projects for companies and the business community, including digitalization and organizational development;
• international partnership projects and cooperation programs.

👉 This is project management in the civic sector — without IT product development and without classic full-cycle delivery.

Requirements

Our ideal candidate:

• has experience in project coordination or management (educational, social, civic, business, or donor initiatives);
• can work in a multitasking environment and prioritize tasks; is confident with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Forms);
• has experience with or willingness to work in Notion / Jira / CRM — a plus;
• has business writing and document preparation skills;
• is organized, responsible, detail-oriented, and systematic;
• knowledge of English is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Plan and implement projects — from idea to result.
• Manage processes: build plans, assign tasks, control deadlines.
• Coordinate people and roles: teams, contractors, partners, speakers, participants.
• Organize events (online and offline): workshops, training programs, forums, community meetups.
• Communicate with stakeholders — companies, educational institutions, donors, communities, partners.
• Work with documentation: official correspondence, invitations, reports, memorandums.
• Plan budgets and control expenses within projects.
• Prepare analytics and brief reports for the team, partners, and management.

Would be a plus

Priority is given to candidates from Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region; some projects require physical presence for implementation.

Work conditions

• Meaningful projects with real impact on people, communities, and the country's development.
• A strong team that values partnership, initiative, and accountability.
• Trust and freedom of action — focus on results, not micromanagement.
• Flexible work format — office in Kharkiv with the option to work remotely.
• Transparent compensation with results-based review.
• Learning and development — access to internal and external educational programs of the Cluster (Project Management, communications, English, AI, etc.).
• Corporate bonuses — a discount app, partner programs, and events.
