    In Allegheny County, we appreciate people who think big, act boldly, and care about making a difference. You don't have to be from here to feel at home, or to make your mark. With only 1.3 million people in the County, it's small enough for motivated people to get things done.

    Why DHS?

    It is innovative.

    Most recently, the national attention and awards we've gotten are for how DHS integrates data and uses them to improve the safety and well-being of children through tools that support front-line staff in making decisions (using predictive analytics).

    DHS is diverse, but we strive to be even more inclusive.

    Our director has made it her top priority that DHS is "the kind of place where a diverse group of talented people want to come, grow, and do their best work." This includes equity in hiring and advancement, as well as in unleashing the creativity and ideas of staff at every level of DHS.

    It has strong, assertive leaders. We do not hire yes-people.

    Salary depends on specific position.
