The New York Foundling

New York, NY

 

The New York Foundling, one of the most prominent and comprehensive human services agencies in New York City, seeks an inspirational and committed leader to be its Chief Program Officer (CPO). The Foundling, in the tradition of openness and compassion of its sponsors, the Sisters of Charity, helps children, youth, adults, and families in need through services, supports, and advocacy that strengthen family and community and help each individual reach their full potential. The CPO will be one of the agency’s strategic and transformational leaders and will join The Foundling at a time of abundant opportunity.

 

Since 1869, The Foundling has provided exceptional, evidence-based programs, effective and interrelated services, and opportunities for children, adults, and families to create transformational change in their lives. Each year, the agency serves over 30,000 people through more than 40 programs across all five boroughs of New York City, surrounding counties, and Puerto Rico. Programs help children and families navigate through and beyond foster care; assist families struggling with conflict and poverty to grow stronger; help people with developmental disabilities live fulfilling lives; and remove obstacles to well-being for people through health and mental health services. The Foundling’s work is distributed across five core service areas, including Child Welfare, Developmental Disabilities, Education, Health & Behavioral Health, and Juvenile and Criminal Justice, and includes several Centers of Excellence.

 

The Chief Program Officer will directly oversee and provide strategic direction for the majority of The Foundling’s programs and services, including over 2,100 staff and an operating budget of $190 million. The CPO’s direct reports include the Senior Vice Presidents of Child Welfare & Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities; the Vice President of Puerto Rico; and the Director of Camp Felix. The Foundling’s overall FY2023 budget is $218 million, and it employs over 3,000 staff.

 

The CPO will partner with the President and CEO and their peers on the senior cabinet on organization-wide strategy and operations. They will drive, manage, and coordinate initiatives that have impact across the agency, assuring positive client outcomes and continuous alignment with The Foundling’s overarching mission and goals. Working alongside their senior leadership team as a strategic partner, the CPO will evaluate current service offerings and operations to ensure a sustainable model for the future. The CPO must be aware of the current trends in the human services sector and will foster an environment where data, analysis, transparency, and best practices are used to drive sound business and programmatic decisions throughout the agency. The CPO will be an important external representative of The Foundling with its key constituents and will nurture strong, reliable teams and a healthy, collaborative, and inclusive internal culture that celebrates a diversity of voices and experiences.
