Posted By: Kennedy Williams on August 27, 2021 Are you an HBCU graduate with a Master’s Degree in sociology, education, public administration, ethnic studies, communication or a closely related field? Tompkins Country is looking to hire a Project Director and wants YOU to APPLY! Tompkins County is an incredible place to call home. The compassionate, resilient, and innovative community is one where people from all backgrounds are invited and welcomed. The Tompkins County government is made up of 27 departments and hundreds of dedicated employees who work hard to meet the needs of the community and provide relevant resources and inclusive services. The County government works for its citizens. From ensuring fair and free local elections to providing Health Department inspections, there’s a lot of County work that happens behind the scenes. These are in addition to the human services, transportation infrastructure, and services like the DMV or the Tompkins County Public Library, all of which (and many more) are either run by or supported by Tompkins County. The Project Director is responsible for leading the implementation of the joint recommendations of the Reimagining Public Safety Collaborative and will oversee and manage all aspects of the project including convening, organizing, and collaborating with multiple stakeholders including community members to implement plan recommendations. The Project Director will serve as the primary point of contact to develop policy, processes and practices and facilitate dialogue that support the interorganizational collaboration between Tompkins County and the City of Ithaca to achieve the objective of connecting the dots between organizational systems of government, public safety, and the needs of the community. This position is responsible for managing multiple complex tasks while identifying the appropriate resources to fulfill project responsibilities. The Project Director is responsible for understanding and translating the impact of the public safety system, including operational, disciplinary, and internal investigation procedures, on minoritized members of the community and developing solutions according to the plan recommendations. In addition, the Project Director is responsible for centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice throughout the implementation process to achieve equitable outcomes in collaboration with the County, City departments and community stakeholders. The Project Director will be responsible for hiring and training of staff and management of contracting and fiscal reporting. The Project Director will also be responsible for providing updates to the County Legislature and City of Ithaca Common Council upon request. This is a managerial position that reports to the County Administrator or designee while supporting multiple departments within Tompkins County and the City of Ithaca. Supervision is exercised over the Data Analyst and any staff assigned to provide office, clerical, or project assistance. Tompkins County is committed to Equity and Inclusion. We encourage those with similar values to apply. For more information about job requirements, responsibilities, and how to APPLY, click here!
