Sr. Director Compliance - NY

Public Partnerships LLC (PPL) helps people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or other long-term health conditions stay at home and “self-direct” their care. Known as consumer direction in New York, this long-term care model empowers people to take control of who provides their services and where. PPL was selected to be the Statewide Fiscal Intermediary for the New York Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) starting in 2025. We, along with a diverse alliance of service partners across the state, will be supporting the delivery of culturally sensitive and disability competent care to CDPAP participants. We are looking for people who share our passion for helping New Yorkers live happy, healthy, and independent lives to support CDPAP consumers and their personal assistants across a broad spectrum of services and functions.

Our culture attracts and rewards people who are compassionate, results-oriented, and driven to exceed customer expectations. We desire motivated candidates who are excited to join our fast-paced, consumer-focused environment, and who want to make a difference in helping transform the lives of the people we serve.
