Agency Description

The Managing Director manages and oversees the operations of the City.  Working with five Cabinet-level Deputies, operational oversight is divided into specific departmental clusters: Health and Human Services, Community and Culture, Community Services, Public Safety and Criminal Justice, and Transportation and Infrastructure.  The Community Services cluster oversees a number of outward-facing programs that provide services directly to the public. These offices and programs focus on enhancing quality of life and improving how citizens engage with their communities and their city government.

The Community Services cluster will be launching a Municipal Identification (“Municipal ID”) program in Fiscal Year 2019.  The Municipal ID program will offer residents an additional means to prove their identity and residency to City agencies, including to law enforcement officers, and to gain access to City services and activities, in addition to a number of nongovernmental partner services and discounts.  The Municipal ID Program Manager will report directly to the Deputy Managing Director of Community Services and will lead the development and implementation of the program and oversee day-to-day operations and expansion of the program once implemented.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Manage the daily operations of Philadelphia’s Municipal ID program, including maintaining regular communication with program partners, including the contract vendors, city departments, and financial institutions.
