Вакансія: Secure Technology Programs Manager for U.S. Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Ukraine (CCI) Activity

BACKGROUND:

The U.S. Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Ukraine (CCI) Activity began in May 2020. The purpose of the CCI Activity is to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, cybersecurity vulnerabilities in Ukraine’s critical infrastructure sectors. In the same way that cyberattacks drove Estonia to innovate cybersecurity practices, systems, and entrepreneurship as the backbone of its digital transformation. 

The CCI Activity continues to improve the cyber-resilience of Ukraine and its critical infrastructure sectors through three interlinked, mutually reinforcing objective areas that address legal, policy, institutional, workforce, and market gaps to strengthen long-term national resilience.

Building on progress achieved from 2020 to 2026, and under the Department of State, the Activity will continue implementation of these objectives while aligning them with U.S. foreign-policy priorities for trusted technology, supply-chain security, and transatlantic digital integration.

Objective 1: Create a safe, trusted environment to accelerate the development of people, processes, and technology to support cybersecurity across CI sectors and assets in Ukraine.

Objective 2: Strengthen Ukraine as a sovereign nation built on a secure, protected, and dynamic economy, supported by a talented pool of human capital.

Objective 3: Stimulate demand for and supply of Ukrainian cybersecurity solutions and service providers to empower, equip, and finance cybersecurity entrepreneurs and businesses

The CCI Activity consists of three complementary, mutually reinforcing, and integrated components:

Component 1: Strengthen the Cybersecurity Enabling Environment

This component enhances Ukraine’s ability to protect and modernize its civilian digital infrastructure by embedding U.S. and allied cybersecurity standards into the governance, architecture, and operational systems of critical infrastructure (CI). It prioritizes the divestment of high-risk digital assets and the adoption of secure-by-design technologies that advance trusted supply chains, secure communications, and resilient public services in line with U.S. strategic and commercial interests.

Component 2: Develop Ukraine’s Cybersecurity Workforce

This component builds the institutional and technical foundation for a civilian cyber workforce capable of securing Ukraine’s critical infrastructure during wartime and sustaining digital resilience throughout long-term recovery. It anchors that workforce in U.S.-backed standards, trusted technology principles, and interoperable training models aligned with allied strategic frameworks. All workforce development activities under this component shall be focused on applied operational capability and demonstrable use of skills, rather than academic, theoretical, or strategy-only training outcomes.

Component 3: Build a Resilient Cybersecurity Industry

This component strengthens Ukraine’s domestic cybersecurity and dual-use technology sector as a frontline contributor to national resilience and a trusted partner in U.S. and allied digital ecosystems. It aims to reduce Ukraine’s reliance on high-risk and adversary-origin platforms, and position select Ukrainian firms as interoperable contributors within U.S. and allied technology supply chains where this serves U.S. strategic, security, and commercial interests.
