    Anticipated deadline to submit application: May 30th, 2024. Position may close early if application limit is met. Apply promptly for full consideration.

    The Opportunity

    We're seeking a results-oriented and social justice-minded leader with program, performance, and team management experience to lead our Albany office and oversees CEO's proven program model there. The Albany Director will provide the leadership needed to grow the Albany office, ensure its sustainability, and support CEO program participants in successfully transitioning from incarceration to stable and productive lives.

    As part of our mission, we strongly encourage individuals who have lived experience of incarceration or involvement in the justice system to apply for this role.

    Who We Are

    The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) provides employment services to people recently released from incarceration. Across the United States, 8,000-9,000 people participate in CEO each year, transitioning to employment that supports themselves, their families, and their communities.

    What began as a demonstration project of the Vera Institute of Justice in the 1970s to address employment barriers facing the formerly incarcerated following release in New York City has grown into the leading reentry employment organization in the country, where over 30,000 formerly incarcerated individuals have secured full-time employment since 1996.

    Who You Are
    • You are deeply dedicated to and engaged in social justice and perhaps are already working in the re-entry field.
    • You come to CEO with 5+ years of leadership and program management experience in a fast-growing and results-oriented nonprofit environment.
    • You have a working knowledge of general criminal justice and workforce development systems.
    • You have people management experience and can build, manage, and develop a diverse team and are able to bounce seamlessly between high level strategy and getting into the weeds when needed to ensure your team's success.
    • You understand the importance of performance based goals and have experience catalyzing a team to reach these.
    • Your attention to detail allows you to juggle multiple projects at one time.
    • You thrive in ambiguity and want to play a key role in the growth of an organization.
    • You understand the importance of regularly collecting, analyzing, and applying data to drive program strategy and decision making.
    • You have experience engaging and persuading a diverse array of stakeholders.
    • You are comfortable with technology, including Google Suite and Salesforce.
    • You have the highest level of personal integrity and are personally and professionally committed to excellence and having deep impact on our participants' lives.

    Site Operations and Performance

    • Model work structures that promote the well-being of employees
    • Celebrate individual and team accomplishments to highlight CEO values and an individual's unique contributions to the work
    Compensation and Benefits
