More detail
17a is looking to hire a Principal and a Lead to join our core team and work with us on program design and frontier innovation projects with public service delivery players.
Both roles are responsible for –
1) Managing (Principal) or supporting (Lead) healthcare-focused projects with state/city government as well as players on the frontlines of public service delivery and public problem solving (e.g., addiction treatment providers, state Medicaid agencies). This includes a combination of strategic project leadership, problem solving, ad hoc research and analysis, and ability to build strong relationships with teams, clients, and partners.
2) Working closely with our small, flat, and fun core team to lead other parts of our growth. This element of the role will be defined based on the candidate’s interests in specific aspects of 17a’s priorities.
Apply
Strong preference for candidates with demonstrated interest in improving public or social service delivery and 2+ years of work experience – typically Leads have 2-4 years of experience, and Principals have 4-7 years of experience, with some variation. Experience in some combination of fast-paced business building environments, public sector service design, or management consulting ideal.
Must be excited to do what it takes to find better, more successful models for public service delivery – we believe that a lot of the most important innovation requires getting in the weeds on ‘last mile’ problems in service delivery that are often unsexy, dusty and complicated. Our team loves that kind of work and is looking for others who do too.
We are based in Cincinnati and New York City – of course, with flexibility for remote options
Improving public service delivery requires a team with diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
