Candidates are sought in the areas of Corporate and Contract Law, Procurement and Finance and Audit.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced a selection of candidates for two vacant seats as independent members of the Supervisory Board of the Defense Procurement Agency. This was reported by the Agency on Facebook.
During the competition, candidates will be sought for independent members of the Supervisory Board in the areas of Corporate and Contract Law, Procurement and Finance and Audit.
The Defense Procurement Agency noted that documents for participation in the competition are accepted for ten working days from the day of posting the announcements on the Ministry of Defense website, i.e., from 17 September.
The Ministry of Defense stated that an advantage for candidates will be at least ten years of experience in management and administration, international relations, law, or another related field.
Candidates for the positions of Supervisory Board members must also have experience in senior leadership roles or at least five years of public service or work equivalent to it.
The search and selection of candidates is being conducted by the recruitment company Friisberg & Partners International. At the end of August 2026 the Defense Procurement Agency signed a corresponding contract with it.
The Supervisory Board of the Defense Procurement Agency is to consist of five persons — three independent members and two government representatives, however since January 2025 it has been operating with a reduced number. Then an independent member Patrik Auroy left the board, and his position remains vacant. In June 2026 the board was also left by Kateryna Kuznetsova due to a conflict of interest that arose after the merger of the Defense Procurement Agency and the State Center for Transport Service, Ukrnafta, which she also chaired, became a supplier to the Agency. Currently, the board has three members.
As a reminder, 31 August the head of the Agency Arsen Zhumadilov left his post, who led it since March 2025. Prior to that, since 2023 he headed the State Backbone Operator. Both agencies were merged into one in January 1 2026.
The interim acting director of the Defense Procurement Agency since 1 September is Artem Romanyukov, who previously served as Director of Development of the Defense Procurement Agency. The next step is to complete the Supervisory Board, after which it should announce a competition for the position of head of the Agency, conduct a selection, and appoint a new leader by the end of 2026.
