Director of Strategic Initiatives - Children's Place Association

Who: Children's Place Association

What: Children’s Place Association was founded in 1989 in response to the emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic which was ravaging communities on the west side. In 1991 the organization opened a respite home in the community for children whose ill parents were unable to care for them, and soon after in response to families’ requests, added a range of services to strengthen them in their efforts to remain together including supportive family housing, in home respite care, day care/ early education, mental health, case management and summer camp.

We are ready to work with our community partners to help transform an urban community blighted by decades of disinvestment into a community where children and their families thrive. By understanding child well-being broadly—not merely services for children but the intentional block by block reclaiming of a community as a place where children can thrive—we can begin to make a better community for all its residents.

By developing child-focused services that are shaped and provided by community partners, and by addressing a legacy of disinvestment in the built environment and business community through other local partners, Child Thrive will narrow the gap on child health and developmental equity.

If you would like to join us, we are currently searching for a Director of Strategic Initiatives. The Director of Strategic Initiatives for Child Thrive has primary responsibility for leading and implementing Child Thrive, a key strategic initiative of the Children’s Place Association in its mission to make West Humboldt Park a great place to be a child. The Director is both a community organizer in program design and a manager in implementing Child Thrive initiatives through community and other nonprofit partners.

Leading an initiative that is intended to evolve and mature in response to changing community needs and ongoing learning, the Director must be strategic, inclusive, pragmatic, and accountable. The Director cultivates relationships with community partners and Children’s Place stakeholders and ensures that Child Thrive is shaped by the community and reflective of community concerns. The Director ensures that the implementation of Child Thrive reflects best management and professional practices consistent with Children’s Place policies and procedures. The Director mobilizes resources including volunteers, nonprofit partners, and funders, leveraging existing Children’s Place stakeholders, and attracting new ones to grow and lead Child Thrive.

THE SELECTION PROCESS will be job related and will consist of one or more of the following: education and experience evaluation; written, oral, or performance tests, or other assessment methods. The Milwaukee Police Department reserves the right to call only the most qualified candidates to oral and performance examinations. Oral examinations may include written exercises. Selection process component weights will be determined by further analysis of the job.   

INITIAL FILING DATE - The examination will be held as soon as practical after November 3, 2015. Receipt of applications may be discontinued at any time after this date without prior notice.  However, recruitment may continue until the needs of the City have been met. Qualified applicants will be notified of the date, time, and place of the examination. Unless otherwise required by law, the City of Milwaukee will not provide alternative test administration. The applicant is responsible for attending all phases of the job selection process at the time and place designated by the City of Milwaukee. 

NOTE: The City’s residency requirement set forth in City Charter 5-02 is under litigation. Even though the City is legally able to enforce the current residency requirements based on a recent Wisconsin Court of Appeals decision, the City has agreed to continue to suspend enforcement of the ordinance during the time it may take to know whether the Wisconsin Supreme Court will review the case.  Once the Supreme Court refuses review or affirms the Court of Appeals decision, the City intends to fully enforce the ordinance. Consequently, employees who disregard the requirements of the ordinance do so at their own risk. Applicants for City of Milwaukee positions should understand the City’s commitment to its residency requirement. During this period of uncertainty it is important to take that into account when submitting an application and more importantly when deciding to accept an employment offer.  Please contact (414) 286–3751 if you have questions regarding your individual circumstances as part of the application and/or selection process.
