Director, STARs Public Sector Hub - Washington, United States - Opportunity@Work
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionDescriptionAbout the Organization is a social enterprise committed to rewiring the U.S. labor market so all individuals Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) can work, learn, and earn to their full potential.#YouWantToBeHere's Policy team is focused on using the power of policy to rewire the labor market so that STARs, workers who are skilled through alternative routes instead of a bachelor's degree, have equitable opportunities. We strive to make this the last generation of workers to experience the systemic inequities that impede STARs' economic mobility.
This month, we launched the STARs Public Sector Hub (Hub), an adaptable, digital platform and ongoing learning network that supports government leaders–at the federal, state, and local levels–to access the core capabilities that will support them to source and hire STARs, activate policy change for STARs, and develop regional, STAR-inclusive economic strategies. Working closely with partners, the Hub will deliver a set of services that will equip public sector leaders to tear the paper ceiling and leverage the capabilities of STARs to meet their current and future workforce challenges.
The Director of the STARs Public Sector Hub will be the policy team leader accountable for building and operationalizing an effective, responsive and dynamic Hub that meets our public sector partner needs. The Director will work closely with the Vice President of STARs Policy and other members of the Policy team to oversee the day-to-day management of the Hub consistent with our organization's strategy and goals. This will include working across teams as well as with an expanding set of external partners. The Director will take great care to support the evolution of the Hub as both a resource and a community of government leaders at different levels of government, with different types of needs, and from different contexts.
This role is right for candidates who have worked in civic design and/or led technical assistance programming or policy implementation efforts at the federal, state or local level and who believe deeply in collaborative governance. The ideal candidate has experience with the workforce system and has worked in the public sector but we welcome any candidates who have insight into the challenges and opportunities of making change through policy and public administration.
This person will report to the Vice President, STARs Policy and will be based in Washington, DC.
Key ResponsibilitiesThe Public Sector Hub launched in May 2024, and is still in its early stages. The Hub Director is responsible for shepherding this initiative through design, development, and continuous improvement. This means the Director will:
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Lived experience as a STAR (Skilled Through Alternative Routes instead of a bachelor's degree), or direct experience working with STARs
Benefits
is an equal opportunity and skills-first employer. We celebrate diversity and the dignity of every worker - especially those with overlooked skills. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
