Open Roles at GovEx

Johns Hopkins University seeks a visionary Executive Director to lead its Bloomberg Center for Government Excellence (GovEx) into an ambitious new phase. GovEx, globally recognized for advancing public sector data use, is evolving to lead the way for cities as they navigate adoption of AI and create more ambitious outcomes for their residents.

The Executive Director will deepen the impact of GovEx through innovative applications of data and AI, and transformative research. This new phase coincides with the transition of GovEx and two additional centers (the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation (BCPI) and the Black Wealth Data Center (BWDC)) under the leadership of the new School of Government and Policy at Johns Hopkins University. The new Executive Director will guide this strategic transformation for GovEx by optimizing synergies and collaborations with BCPI, BWDC and school faculty, while ensuring the center remains at the cutting edge of data-driven practices.

The Bloomberg Center for Government Excellence at Johns Hopkins University (GovEx or the Center) seeks to hire a mixed-methods Researcher to join our team of government, data, and performance practice experts to support senior government leaders across the United States, Canada, and Latin America to use data to get better results for residents.

The Senior Director will lead the administration of multiple data programs for local government leaders that includes technical assistance, coaching, and policy development towards the development of citywide data strategies and the establishment of performance management routines, all focused on using data to improve outcomes for communities. The Senior Director will manage a team of more than 20 consultants and staff to deliver the center’s signature programs and will be accountable for achieving program results.

The Senior Program Associate plays a critical role in the delivery of GovEx’s data advisory services for city government partners, enabling them to leverage the power of data for better decision-making in the Bloomberg Philanthropies City Data Alliance program. The Sr. Program Associate role will be a part of a team that is responsible for managing full-cycle projects, including scoping, scheduling, and implementation of data analysis and performance practices, while providing direct technical assistance in program implementation.
