Description

MAKE A REAL IMPACT. LEAD WITH HEART. DRIVE THE FUTURE OF DISABILITY SERVICES. At Richmond, we believe in possibilities — not limitations. Every day, we support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live meaningful, self-directed lives. Now, we’re looking for a Chief Program Officer (CPO) to help lead us into the next chapter of innovation, person-centered excellence, and compassionate care. If you’re a strategic thinker who loves rolling up your sleeves, empowering teams, and creating systems that change lives — this role was made for you. What You’ll Do As our Chief Program Officer, you’ll: * Shape the future of our programs — residential, day habilitation, nursing, and community services — ensuring everything we do aligns with our mission, values, and OPWDD standards. * Lead and inspire an amazing team of directors, clinicians, and managers who bring passion to every shift. * Stay ahead of the curve by monitoring OPWDD guidance, emerging best practices, and trends in disability services. * Partner with Quality Improvement & Compliance to keep us certification-ready and audit-strong. * Think big-picture, connecting strategy with everyday operations and ensuring measurable outcomes that matter. * Represent Richmond in statewide forums and advocacy efforts — helping shape a stronger, more inclusive system for everyone. Who You Are * A mission-driven leader who balances heart and strategy. * Experienced in OPWDD-supported programs (ICF, IRA, Day Hab — you know the language). * A mentor at heart, ready to grow and guide talented teams. * Skilled at turning complex challenges into clear, actionable plans. * Comfortable managing big budgets, strategic plans, and change with equal confidence. * An advocate for equity, inclusion, and person-centered practices in everything you do. What You’ll Bring * MBA in Business Administration required. * At least 5 years in senior management, with 3+ years supervising other leaders. * 10+ years of experience in developmental disabilities or related human services strongly preferred. * Knowledge of OPWDD regulations (Parts 624, 625, 633), Medicaid billing, and compliance expectations. * A valid tri-state driver’s license and access to transportation for site visits. Why Richmond? Because you’ll join a team that: * Believes in empowering people — both staff and individuals supported. * Values innovation and collaboration as much as compassion. * Offers a supportive leadership team, competitive salary, and comprehensive benefits. * Celebrates success (and the people behind it). #RCS123
