Human Capital Coordinator

State of Maryland • Baltimore City, MD

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

Maryland’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program makes sure all workers in Maryland have paid time off for medical and family reasons. FAMLI is a social insurance system covering 2.6 million workers and 180,000 employers, delivered as a digitally native, public-facing service. We’re in the early stages of building something as big and as far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department. We know that delivering services primarily through a website, over the Internet, is a new way of doing business in government. The Human Capital Strategy Coordinator will equip FAMLI to effectively deliver paid leave to Maryland workers by facilitating talent acquisition and organizational growth. As part of the Human Capital Strategy team, the coordinator will have the opportunity to help build a team that focuses on a number of exciting human capital challenges that come with a new, fast-growing organization, such providing guidance and support to managers in hiring and performance management; assessing workforce gaps and identifying strategies to address them; and creating and implementing strategies for creating a culture that attracts and retains excellent employees. You will be joining us at the very beginning of our journey to make FAMLI a reality in Maryland and will be able to help chart our course. If you’re ready to help make FAMLI a great place to work and facilitate our growth, this is the role for you.
