Help Shape the Future of Connectivity in Virginia

The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is seeking an exceptional, mission‑driven leader to guide one of the most impactful initiatives in the Commonwealth, expanding reliable broadband access to every community in Virginia.
As the Director of the Office of Broadband, you will play a pivotal leadership role in connecting Virginians to essential digital infrastructure that supports economic growth, education, healthcare, and quality of life. This is an opportunity to lead a high‑visibility statewide effort that directly advances equity, innovation, and economic opportunity.

In this executive‑level role, you will serve as the Commonwealth’s foremost authority on broadband infrastructure, policy, and major state and federal funding programs. You will oversee the implementation of landmark initiatives such as the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) and the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, which shape the future of Virginia’s digital landscape.

You will lead a dedicated team of professionals responsible for grant management, performance tracking, program evaluation, and operational execution. Through strategic guidance and collaborative leadership, you will cultivate a high-performing, service‑oriented division committed to achieving measurable results for Virginia’s communities.

The Director will set program direction, establish robust internal controls and risk‑management frameworks, and ensure compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. You will also serve as a key advisor to agency leadership and state policymakers, representing DHCD in legislative settings, stakeholder engagements, and statewide broadband planning efforts.

This role is ideal for a forward-thinking leader who thrives in complex, cross-sector environments and is passionate about driving meaningful, statewide impact. If you are energized by public service, motivated by innovation, and ready to deliver transformative results for the Commonwealth, we encourage you to apply.
