Program Director

About the role

Code for America's Program Directors lead portfolios of work that sit at the intersection of technology, policy, and government service delivery. At the core of this role is the belief that government services can and should work better for the people who depend on them most — and that achieving that requires sustained, expert leadership over complex, multi-stakeholder programs.

As a Program Director at Code for America, you will own a portfolio of approximately four to six projects and the teams that deliver them. Your portfolio may include work across areas such as Safety Net benefits access (including multi-benefit enrollment and Medicaid and SNAP delivery), Tax programs, or Criminal Justice initiatives, depending on organizational need and your area of expertise.

You will be externally facing, building and sustaining relationships with federal agencies, state-level leadership, county partners, and/or community-based organizations, while supporting your direct reports in doing the same. You will also work closely with other delivery colleagues to ensure our projects achieve their intended impact and that your portfolio is aligned with Code for America's strategy.

This role will report to the Senior Director of Safety Net and is expected to travel no more than 15%-25% of the time.

Code for America is based in California and can employ those who reside full-time within the United States. This is a remote position.
