Director of Engagement & Impact

 Palmetto Shared Services Alliance (PSSA) is seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to serve as our Director of Engagement & Impact. This role sits at the intersection of professional development, data, and partnerships, helping ensure that our work not only reaches childcare providers across South Carolina, but also demonstrates meaningful, measurable impact.  The Director will lead PSSA’s statewide training strategy, support a growing team, and oversee how data is collected, analyzed, and shared to inform decision-making and strengthen outcomes. This position also plays a key role in building relationships with partners, funders, and agencies to expand our reach and elevate the support available to childcare providers.  We are looking for someone who is both a strong leader and a connector, someone who can manage complex initiatives, translate data into action, and bring people together around a shared mission.

As a PCC Pop-In, you play a vital role in keeping classrooms running smoothly and ensuring children continue to receive consistent, high-quality care. You’ll have the opportunity to work in a variety of childcare settings, build meaningful connections, and make a real impact, while maintaining the flexibility to choose when and where you work.

We’re looking for individuals who are reliable, adaptable, and ready to jump in wherever needed. If you have a heart for children, a team-first mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment, this is a unique opportunity to support childcare programs and families in your community.

PCC is currently in the pilot phase which is based in Anderson & Marlboro counties!
