Direct reports: Head of Implementation, Implementation Engineering Director, and Senior Advisors on the Services Team
OpenFn is the digital public good for public service automation & AI orchestration. Our platform automates data exchange and digital workflows so that governments and NGOs can deliver public services more efficiently, achieve interoperability across fragmented systems, and scale critical public services across health, humanitarian, and government programs.
Our team, Open Function Group, the primary steward of this open-source platform, is a lean, fully-remote team of integration specialists, solution architects, and implementation consultants working across 40+ countries.
We are not making marginal improvements to already comfortable lives. We are building the infrastructure that allows governments to function, clinics to operate, and vulnerable populations to access services they depend on. The solutions you design will shape whether a ministry can reach its citizens, whether a health system can act on its own data, and whether a government can adopt AI on its own terms rather than someone else's.
The role
This is a chance to influence how governments approach AI adoption, public service automation, and digital transformation, not from the outside, but embedded in the delivery of real programs. This year we have 8 government implementations across Africa and Latin America, with global adoption accelerating, and we're at an inflection point in scaling that critical work. At the same time, we're trying to solve something few digital public goods have solved: how to be both deeply impactful and financially sustainable, borrowing hard-won lessons from enterprise software and open source companies and adapting them to markets those playbooks weren't built for. This role sits squarely at that intersection, owning both the impact and financial sustainability of what we deliver, because we believe the two are meant to reinforce each other, not compete.
We are hiring a Managing Director, Services to own the full portfolio of delivery work at OpenFn, from project-based implementations to the management and delivery of capacity building “expert days” on retainer for subscribing governments and iNGOs. This role is primarily about team leadership and enablement, business strategy, sales support and scoping, and technical/implementation strategy consulting for government clients and external partners, including both large consulting firms and small local implementers.
