Delaware EARNS Program Director

Closing Date 1/29/2023 11:59:00 PM

The EARNS Program Director will lead the efforts to establish and run Delaware EARNS, the newly created retirement program for citizens who lack access to retirement plans. The EARNS Program Director will be responsible for all aspects of developing this transformative new program. If you possess a strong affinity for strategic thinking and building new programs, along with a passion for helping others meet their financial goals, this is the role for you. The EARNS Program Director will build this program over several years with the assistance of Office of the State Treasurer, Delaware EARNS Program Board and various contracted partners with a targeted start date of January 1, 2025.

The Delaware EARNS program is designed to provide workers and employers access to low-cost retirement savings plans. It is a “secure choice” program that amounts to State-facilitated, universally available retirement savings plans, providing a convenient way for all workers to save for retirement, particularly middle and low-income workers who lack access to employer-sponsored plans and small businesses that are unable to provide such a benefit.
Currently, 150,000 Delaware workers, or 52% of Delaware’s workforce, lack access to an employer-sponsored retirement program.

In this position, you will:

• Work with the EARNS Program Board and executive leadership to plan, develop, implement, and oversee the auto-IRA program which will be opened in 2025.
• Research similar programs, analyze economic data, and identify opportunities for adoption and expansion of the program.
• Advise the various subcommittees of the Board on critical decisions including program governance, structure, design, and outreach strategies.
• Develop and execute a work plan to successfully implement and launch the new program.
• Partner with the marketing team to develop a comprehensive outreach and engagement strategy.
• Provide program oversight including due diligence, reporting and analysis, and vendor relations.
• Conduct presentations to large, diverse audiences including the Board and its committees, the General Assembly, the media, employers, and the general public.

The EARNS Program Director position is a Pay Grade 20 Merit Classification with a pay scale of $83,020 (yearly mid) to $99,624 (yearly max).
