About The Position

The Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University (the Center) seeks a i-team Project Manager, Cleveland, OH to join a new Innovation Team ('i-team') in Cleveland, as part of the Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities initiative. Cleveland is one of 25 U.S. cities participating in Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities. Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities is a three-year initiative designed to leverage historic levels of federal funding to incubate and implement transformative local solutions to build low-carbon, resilient, and economically thriving communities. Building on the longtime leadership of U.S. cities to confront the overlapping crises of climate change and racial wealth inequity, the new initiative will provide deep support to selected cities to pursue transformative solutions. Innovation Teams unlock creativity from within city governments and the communities they serve. These teams take partners and stakeholders through an evidence-based process to tackle the big problems in their cities no one has yet been able to solve, generate more ambitious responses, and test and adapt interventions until they produce impact. They also work closely with the Mayor, the City's leadership team, and City departments to change the culture of city government. Reporting to the i-team Director, the Project Manager will lead the development and execution of the i-team's project plan and ensure successful delivery of programs that are shaped through the i-team's design-based innovation process. The ideal candidate will have strong project management experience as well as interest in learning and using innovation methods and mindsets to deliver transformative impact for communities. The Project Manager is an employee of Johns Hopkins University and based in the City Hall of Cleveland to support the i-team's work with government colleagues, with community, and across other Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities stakeholders. The first of its kind in the world, the Center is advancing the field of public sector innovation by marrying cutting-edge practice with world-class research to transform the culture of government, deliver exceptional results for residents, and inspire trust in public service. The Center is committed to working with communities focused on ending legacies of structural, entrenched racism and oppression. The Project Manager must be willing to think about reimagined government, knowledge, and engagement models through the lens of dismantling these legacies.
