Hr Data Director Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Episcopal Community Services (ECS), employees work with participants who may be experiencing homelessness, behavioral health conditions, substance use challenges, and other difficult life circumstances. While this work is meaningful and mission-driven, it can at times be stressful, demanding, or unpredictable. Employees are expected to exercise sound judgment, remain aware of their surroundings, follow established safety, communication, and de-escalation procedures, participate in all required training, and promptly report incidents, threats, injuries, or unsafe conditions, in accordance with ECS policies and procedures.

This position is initially fully onsite with the opportunity to work from home one day per week after 90-days. Due to the essential nature of the duties and the need for consistent in-person engagement, other work-from-home arrangements are not available for this position.

POSITION SUMMARY

Reporting directly to the Chief Program Officer, the Vice President of Supported Housing (VPSH) is a newly elevated senior executive role, that will lead ECS's largest program portfolio. This is a regional role spanning ECS's operations across the Bay Area, and the VPSH is responsible for driving the strategy, evolution, and administration of ECS's full continuum of supported housing programs, ensuring teams have the capacity to meet client needs and advance ECS's mission of preventing and ending homelessness.

The VPSH oversees the following portfolio of programs:

• Permanent Supportive Housing Services (Site-Based)
• Rapid Rehousing / Permanent Supportive Housing Services (Scattered-Site)
• Adult Coordinated Entry Services (Access Points)
• Housing Navigation, Tenant Stabilization, and Housing Location Services

This portfolio represents ECS's largest operating budget and staffing footprint, with continued growth anticipated as ECS pursues new housing strategies and additional local, state, federal, and private funding.

At hire, the VPSH will supervise three Director-level leaders: Sr. Director of Housing Services, Director of Scattered Site Housing, and the Director of Coordinated Entry (direct reports may expand to include additional directors if services in these areas expands), and will work collaboratively with their teams on hiring and retention, planning and evaluation, policy development, operational implementation, contract compliance, and budgeting. Given the scale and complexity of this portfolio, ECS is seeking a state-licensed clinician (LCSW, LMFT, or equivalent) with a background in recovery-oriented and behavioral health-informed services; experience at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and familiarity with Medi-Cal and CalAIM billing frameworks is strongly preferred, even though direct billing oversight is not part of this role, coordination with Supportive Housing Services and Cal-Aim, Medi-Cal leadership is an essential part of this role.
