    About Our Job

    Why Denver Public Library?

    Denver - one of the nation's top places to live, work and play - needs the best people working for the residents of Denver. Denver Public Library (DPL) is one of the few places in the city where all people, from all backgrounds and life circumstances, are welcome free of charge. We have 26 branch libraries, in addition to our downtown Central location, which is undergoing a $60 million renovation to reimagine our customer-friendly and innovative spaces.

    The community's recognition of the Library's vital role prompted the passage of the Strong Library Strong Denver ballot measure, allocating an additional $37+ million annually in funding. This financial support reinforces our commitment to fostering a thriving community for all and bolsters our greatest asset: our dedicated team members - who strive to uphold our core values of Welcoming, Curiosity, Connection, Equity, and Stewardship, ensuring DPL remains an indispensable resource for all who call Denver home.

    The Equity & Strategy Division

    The nascent Equity & Strategy division stands as the vital nexus within DPL, encompassing subdivisions that encapsulate the essence of our organization. Positioned uniquely, this division wields significant influence over our library's culture, reinforcing our steadfast commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, shaping our communication with stakeholders, and defining our strategic goals. Guided by our esteemed Chief Equity and Strategy Officer (CESO) in tandem with the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), our reservoir of knowledge and experience continually fortifies DPL's role as a pioneering force in the urban public library domain. This ensures that the services we provide to the Denver community remain agile and responsive to its diverse array of needs.

    Job Summary

    The Denver Public Library seeks an accomplished organizational strategist and development leader responsible for driving strategic initiatives, fostering data-informed decision making and providing strategic guidance to our Executive Leadership Team. As the Director of Organizational Strategy & Development, you would equip the organization with change and project management methodologies to maximize efficiency and effectiveness, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The successful candidate has a proven track record of implementing large-scale organizational initiatives, strategic budgeting and demonstrates exceptional verbal and written communication skills. Additionally, you should be proficient at building relationships and collaborating with diverse stakeholders at all levels of the organization, as well as with external stakeholders. This position offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the future state of DPL, affecting the trajectory of the Library's operations and services, ensuring they remain responsive to the evolving needs of Denver's community.
