Chief Program Officer (CPO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Program Officer to provide executive leadership across youth services, family and community programs, and resident support services. The role includes developing and connecting programs, supporting department leaders, and translating strategic priorities into measurable goals. The CPO will design and expand services in response to community needs, build partnerships, oversee program budgets and funding requirements, and strengthen program evaluation and outcomes. The position also ensures services are culturally responsive, coordinated, and delivered in accordance with applicable safety, legal, and regulatory requirements. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field; a master’s degree is preferred, though directly related experience may substitute for education. At least seven years of progressive program leadership experience is required, including three or more years at director level or above overseeing multiple programs, managers, and budgets. Applicants should bring experience in culturally specific programming and in youth development, education, family, or wrap-around services, along with the ability to develop staff, launch programs, manage funding requirements, and use data to improve outcomes. Strong communication, relationship-building, strategic leadership, and policy-development skills are essential.
