Application deadline: 16:00 October 17, 2022

Dexis Consulting Group, implementer for the USAID-funded Kosovo Commercial Justice Activity (Program), is seeking a professional to serve as Leader of Objective 1.

Under Objective 2, the Program works to increase the use of alternative dispute resolution, ensure that commercial laws are in accord with European Union and international best practices, and improve public awareness of commercial dispute and enforcement mechanisms. The Program is tentatively scheduled to continue its work through February 2026.

As an employee of Dexis Consulting Group, the Leader of Objective 1 will report to the Program’s Chief of Party and work closely and collaboratively with all Program team members to design, plan, implement, and report on Objective 1 activities.
