Who we are looking for:

The Managing Director is responsible for managing up to ten staff members who are responsible for all aspects of internal activities, headquarters office, and field operations of PTSI. This position will also oversee the external activities of the organization regarding all contracts and communications with consultants, local, state, and federal agencies as appropriate.

At times, you will need to directly manage projects that would normally be managed by entire departments, like marketing campaigns. And through all of this, you must remain organized, innovative and customer centric.

The position will oversee, but is not limited to the following:
•Managing employees and recommend employee hiring, and termination to the Board of Directors
•Managing business strategy with Board of Directors approval
•Securing funding and assets
•Managing the PTSI annual budget
•Outsourcing and direct marketing projects
