Our vision is to transform the lives of children and families to benefit all communities and ensure a promising future for generations to come. We believe that through subsidized child care, mental health support, and community services centered in families of all types and backgrounds, we can profoundly impact the communities we serve. If this resonates with you, we invite you to apply to join our team. **Our Team & Culture** Our Team at Hively is a passionate and diverse group of individuals from a wide range of different lived experiences, backgrounds and professional expertise. We strive every day to create an environment for families and staff that is inclusive and welcoming of different experiences and perspectives. We prioritize learning, listening, and growing together and to foster a culture of respect. **The Opportunity** Reporting to the VP of New Ventures, the Contracted Slots Program Director will provide strategic and operational leadership for a major component of Hively’s administration of the Measure C Subsidized Child Care and Minimum Wage Floor Administrator program, overseen by First 5 Alameda County. The Contracted Slots program (one arm of the initiative) is designed to expand access to high-quality, subsidized child care by funding openings, also called “slots,” at licensed centers and Family Child Care providers (FCCs). This program is anticipated to have an annual budget of $35 million and support new subsidized child care slots for an estimated 1,400 children, from birth to age five, across Alameda County. As a core leader of this new initiative, the Contracted Slots Program Director will be accountable for spearheading the launch of this initiative, which will include an intensive ramp-up period for 6+ months, as the team grows and early pilots are conducted. In addition, the Director will be responsible for the continuous improvement of the program as it grows over time. This includes overseeing the child care provider and family experience from outreach and enrollment through eligibility determination, placement, contracting, slot utilization, payment, compliance, renewal, and exit, as well as liaising with partner organizations and community groups. The ideal candidate is an experienced public-program leader who can operationalize complex policy into clear, equitable, and workable systems. They are equally comfortable working at the strategic level with public sector and community partners and in the operational details required to administer a high-volume, high-accountability funding program. **Benefits** \* Medical, dental, and vision plans covered at 100% for the employee \* Health & Dependent Care FSA \* 14 Paid Holidays + 4 flex holidays, including your birthday! \* Generous paid time off policy (over 3 weeks per year) \* Tuition Reimbursement ($1,000/year) \* Employee Appreciation Program \* Life & Long Term Disability Insurance covered 100% by Hively \* 403(b) plan \* SEP-IRA plan with an employer contribution of 5% of annual salary \* Learning & Development Opportunities \* Financial wellness program with unlimited access to personal financial advisors \* Industry competitive salary ranges \* Note: Benefits described apply to full-time, permanent positions only.
