Description

Introduction:

Maryland's Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program makes sure all workers in Maryland have paid time off for medical and family reasons.

FAMLI is a social insurance system covering 2.8 million workers and 180,000 employers, delivered as a digitally native, public-facing service.

We're in the early stages of building something as big and as far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department.

We know that delivering services primarily through a website, over the Internet, is a new way of doing business in government.

The Director of Customer Care will be responsible for establishing a Customer Care Team that meets people where they are and creates pathways for people with different needs and abilities to reach us and to get the services they need from us.

The Director of Customer Care leads the Customer Care team, which is part of the FAMLI Division of the Maryland Department of Labor (MDOL).

The Director of Customer Care will have the opportunity to direct our organization's customer service strategy and implementation, including—crucially—deciding the structure and operational direction of how we interact with customers over the phone.

You will be joining us at the very beginning of our journey to make FAMLI a reality in Maryland and will be able to help chart our course.

If you're ready to help lead these efforts by creating from the ground-up a human-centered, people-focused customer care organization, this is the role for you.
