Hi folks – I'm looking to hire a Program Lead for Open Referral! Job description here and pasted below.
This person will provide facilitation and coordination support for our pilot projects as well as the community as a whole. I'm looking for somebody who has experience getting things done in complex projects among open networks of diverse stakeholders. Experience in the I&R sector is a huge plus. Technical chops are nice but not required; rather, we are looking for someone who is not afraid of technology and has a passion for dispelling techno-bullshit with a fierce, patient, and careful focus on the needs of community stakeholders.
If that sounds like you or someone you know, please be in touch!

Criteria:
Much of our network is in North America, so work time in EST-PST timezones is important. We are willing and eager to mentor the right candidate through challenges pertaining to the human service sectors and/or data standardization and infrastructure development.
We are looking for candidates interested in full-time employment, although we are open to part-time arrangements for a candidate with the right skill set. Our budget for this position can range from $60-90k depending on experience and capacities.
