Project Coordinator (Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services)

New York City nonprofits engage millions of residents each year in critical programs, from arts and culture to community building to housing, and the sector employs nearly a fifth of all NYC workers. The City-across all agencies-contracts and collaborates extensively with nonprofits for a range of public services. Recognizing nonprofits’ essential role in the fabric of the City, in late 2021, the City Council passed Int. 1784 to establish a Mayor’s Office of Not-for-Profit Services. At the same time, the incoming Adams and Lander Administrations launched the Joint Taskforce to Get Nonprofits Paid on Time as a part of the transition process, which released an Action Memo with a set of recommendations in February 2022.

The Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services will engage with and support both New York City’s nonprofit sector and City agencies that contract with nonprofit partners. Among its core functions, the Office will serve as a hub to engage and communicate critical information to nonprofits, develop and deliver a capacity-building program to support nonprofits to more easily contract with the City, research the health of the sector, and coordinate activities to advance the recommendations of the Joint Task Force to Get Nonprofits Paid on Time.

The New York City Mayor’s Office seeks a Project Coordinator for the Mayor’s Office for Nonprofit Services, a new Mayoral office dedicated to supporting thriving communities and ensuring the delivery of essential services to New Yorkers by amplifying the work of nonprofit organizations. The Project Coordinator will report to the Executive Director of the office.

• Assisting in the standing up of the Mayor’s Office of Nonprofit Services, including hiring staff, and launching operations.
• Assisting in coordinating the implementation of interagency reforms to the procurement system, including basic project management tasks associated with wide array of initiatives and
