Hours: Full-Time – 35 Hours Work Location: 30-30 Thomson Avenue, LIC, NY 11101 The Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is seeking an experienced and highly organized professional to serve as Chief of Staff to the Executive Deputy Commissioner (EDC) of Administration. Reporting directly to the EDC of Administration, the Chief of Staff will serve as a trusted advisor and force multiplier, helping to oversee the agency's core administrative functions: Human Resources & Staff Development (HRSD), which supports the agency's workforce across the employee lifecycle; the Finance Department, which manages the agency's capital and expense budgets; and Procurement (Agency Chief Contracting Officer/ACCO), which oversees all agency contracting activity. The Chief of Staff will manage cross-divisional priorities, special initiatives, and the EDC's engagement with senior stakeholders.
