  • At least 2 years of OPWDD experience or equivalent experience in quality improvement, auditing, evaluation, or investigations.
  • Valid NYS driver’s license, reliable transportation, and willingness to travel to agency locations; occasional evening/weekend availability required.
  • Strong knowledge of regulatory requirements, particularly OPWDD and NYS Justice Center standards.
  • Excellent attention to detail with strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to conduct audits and investigations, analyze trends, and make recommendations for improvement.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with diverse teams and individuals.

  • A retirement plan you can start right away, with a 4% Starbridge match after one year.
  • Opportunities to lead meaningful initiatives that strengthen families and communities across New York State.
  • A collaborative leadership team committed to innovation, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
