Transformation Manager - Boston Planning & Development Agency

Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Chief of Development & Transformation, and in extensive collaboration across the Agency, the Transformation Manager will be part of a small team responsible for leading, implementing, and coordinating transformation efforts at the BPDA. Transformation managers will work in close coordination with current staff as subject matter experts, potentially including managing working groups, facilitating internal and external workshops and synthesizing different perspectives. Transformation managers will also work with a broad set of additional stakeholders including the Mayoral Administration, other government entities, private and nonprofit organizations, and community-based stakeholders to seek input and feedback on the effort. This role will be highly influential in developing both strategic and operational recommendations to BPDA leadership including the Chief of Planning on the future of planning and development in the City of Boston. Those recommendations/decisions will advance the desired outcomes of transparency, equity, trust, and alignment with citywide policies. To that end, changes for consideration include: reforming planning, development review, zoning code, community engagement, intergovernmental collaboration, and internal “enablers” (people, processes, technology).
