The formal title for ambassadors is Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. Heads of the U.S. Office that existed prior to U.S. recognition of Kosovo's independence and the opening of the U.S. Embassy in 2008 were titled Chief of Mission and were often of Ambassadorial rank. The ambassador to Kosovo must be confirmed by the Senate.

President Joe Biden nominated career U.S. diplomat and deputy chief of the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey Jeff Hovenier for the position on June 2, 2021.[1] He was confirmed by the Senate on November 18, 2021.
