Description
Introduction
Maryland’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program makes sure all workers in Maryland have paid time off for medical and family reasons. FAMLI is a $2 billion social insurance system, delivered as a digitally native, public-facing service. We’re in the early stages of building something as big and as far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department, and we are committed to creating an organization that embraces modern best practices in everything it does.
The Director of Employer Services will build and lead the Employer Services directorate in the newly created FAMLI Division at the Maryland Department of Labor. As the first hire of the directorate, the Director of Employer Services will have the opportunity to build a team that strengthens Maryland’s economy through providing flexibility to both employer and workers when they need to take care of themselves or loved ones. The Employer Services team will be dedicated to understanding and serving the needs of employers in supporting this new benefit. The Employer Services directorate will be charged with supporting employers in complying with FAMLI regulations, and in gathering employer feedback in order to continuously improve the employer experience with FAMLI.
Opportunities in state government to build new organizations from the ground up are rare, and FAMLI needs a uniquely qualified candidate for the Director of Employer Services role: not just an experienced and strategic manager who will be a trusted thought-partner for FAMLI’s senior leaders; and not just a capable and inspiring servant leader who can hire, guide, and motivate a high-powered team; but also a “builder” with the imagination, determination, and entrepreneurial outlook necessary to build something great from scratch. If you have what FAMLI is looking for and are ready for the most difficult and rewarding challenge of your career, this may be the job for you.
Main Purpose of Job
The Director of Employer Services is the senior leader of the Employer Services Directorate in the Division of Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) at the Maryland Department of Labor (MDOL). The Director of Employer Services will set and execute the organizational strategy for the Employer Services directorate to ensure employers understand and can easily comply with FAMLI program requirements. The Director will collaborate with the FAMLI Digital Services, Community Engagement, Private Insurance Plans, and Policy teams, as well as other members of the Maryland Department of Labor, to ensure employers have an excellent experience when interacting with the FAMLI program.
