Lead People. Strengthen Programs. Drive Expansion.

RISE Services LLC is growing, and we are seeking a highly organized, hands-on leader who can oversee employment services while helping move complex provider applications and expansion projects across the finish line.

The Regional Director of Employment Services & Expansion will provide operational leadership for employment programs in Delaware, Maryland, and Rhode Island while coordinating provider enrollment and expansion initiatives in additional states.

This is a unique role for someone who is equally comfortable leading employees, solving operational problems, building referral relationships, interpreting government requirements, and managing detailed projects with multiple moving parts.

The position may be based in Columbia, Maryland;
Frederick, Maryland; or Dover, Delaware. The final base location will be determined based on the selected candidate’s location and organizational needs.

This is not a fully remote position. Regular in-person leadership and regional travel are essential components of the role.

RISE Services is open to both full-time and part-time candidates.

Full-Time:
The full-time role combines regional program leadership with approximately 15–20 hours per week focused on Medicaid waiver, vocational rehabilitation, provider enrollment, and state expansion projects. Remaining hours will focus on supervision, program operations, compliance, service quality, referral development, and regional growth.

Part-Time:
The position may initially be structured for approximately 10–20 hours per week, with the opportunity for hours and responsibilities to increase as RISE adds clients, employees, programs, and service areas.

The final structure will be discussed during the interview process based on the candidate’s experience, availability, location, and organizational needs.

This position is well suited for someone who can:

• Lead employees and establish clear accountability
• Identify problems and take ownership of resolving them
• Build productive relationships with state agencies and referral partners
• Monitor documentation, service quality, compliance, and program performance
• Read and interpret detailed regulations and government instructions
• Research requirements using current official sources
• Turn complicated application requirements into organized checklists and timelines
• Coordinate information and documentation across multiple departments
• Track numerous deadlines and outstanding items without losing momentum
• Follow up persistently until projects are completed correctly
• Recognize when a question requires executive, legal, financial, clinical, or compliance review rather than guessing

This is not a desk-only management position, nor is it simply an administrative application-coordinator role.

We need a leader who can move comfortably between people, programs, compliance, community relationships, and complex projects.

The Regional Director will help oversee RISE Services’ employment programs throughout Delaware, Maryland, and Rhode Island.

Responsibilities include:

• Directing day-to-day employment-service operations within the assigned region
• Supervising Employment Program Managers, Lead Employment Specialists, Employment Specialists, and other assigned employees
• Establishing expectations for service…
