General Summary/Purpose: Johns Hopkins University seeks a Digital Director for its soon-to-be-launched center focused on public sector innovation, government transformation, and civic engagement. The new center will become a globally recognized organization focused on advancing the art and science of public sector innovation, especially among local governments. Specifically, the center will conduct research, engage students, and support local governments around organizational, program, and policy innovation.
Working closely with the inaugural Executive Director and other senior leadership, the Digital Director will play a critical role in developing the center’s programs and thought leadership related to digital transformation within the public sector. There are substantial opportunities to leverage existing international efforts in new directions based on the most pressing needs of cities, as well as at the state and national levels. An area of emphasis for current programming is using human-centered design and digital best practices to transform analog or limited digital platforms into useful, seamless digital services that improve access and outcomes for residents. The Digital Director will work in close collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies, which has been a pioneer in supporting creativity within city halls for the past decade and is providing the initial funding for the new center.
Under the direction of the Digital Director and with the support of partner organizations, the center will deliver technical assistance and training to government teams to help them create and implement effective digital strategies and services. The Digital Director must have a forward-thinking mindset, with the vision to develop and lead strategy, and the ability to deliver impactful programs that benefit people, including those who have the least access to digital technologies. Our ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong point of view on the opportunity to reimagine how governments leverage digital innovation to transform service delivery to residents.
The new center is committed to addressing structural and entrenched racism and recognizes the public sector’s role in perpetuating these legacies. We are looking to assemble a team committed to dismantling structural and entrenched racism and addressing these issues as we advance this work in communities.
