Work with PJI
Managing Director
The Managing Director (a one-year renewable term position) serves as the senior administrative, operational, and strategic leader of the Prisons and Justice Initiative (PJI), a complex and multi-faceted academic and programmatic unit delivering higher education, workforce training, and reentry support services to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. In partnership with the Director, the Managing Director leads the development and execution of organizational strategy and oversees all aspects of internal operations, including finance, human resources, compliance, partnerships, and program implementation.
PJI currently operates multiple programs—including a bachelor’s degree program and credit-bearing courses within two carceral facilities, certificate programs for recently incarcerated individuals, and reentry and alumni support services—across correctional facilities and campus-based environments, with most student services delivered internally. The Managing Director ensures that the infrastructure, systems, and resources are in place to support these programs and plays a central role in the Initiative’s transition to the Center on Prisons and Justice. This role exercises substantial independent judgment and serves as a key decision-maker across operational, financial, and personnel matters.
