Established in 2017, the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative equips US mayors and senior city officials with leadership skills and management tools to tackle their cities’ complex challenges.
Each year, the Initiative selects 40 mayors; in turn, each mayor selects two senior officials from their city to participate. The 40 mayors and 80 senior leaders engage in an intensive program developed and taught by faculty from Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School.
The Initiative, led by David Margalit, is currently scouting a Senior Program Director who can lead a new, entrepreneurial unit that will work with a network of collaborators in the city leadership space, transfer knowledge to peer organizations, and share practices, curriculum, and research.
What I love
The brilliant people you’d be working with!
Public service innovation is such an exciting field.
These particular public servants (mayors) are exciting clients to have, given their unique leadership roles in communities across the country.
Bloomberg Philanthropies has just made this Initiative the flagship program of the newly established Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, a center created with an investment of $150M to deepen and broaden Bloomberg Philanthropies and Harvard’s commitment to current and future city leaders.
And in your senior leadership role, you’ll be helping to bring about more effective city leadership through collaboration and innovation - so timely and important as we face a daunting post-pandemic recovery.
Don’t forget…
You can follow this org, read about its team, and follow the team members whose profiles inspire you - a great way to build your social impact scenius!
