About the Agency: The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) oversees housing standards across all 3.7 million homes in New York City.
As the nation’s largest municipal housing agency, HPD is responsible for building and preserving affordable housing, protecting tenants from harassment and displacement, and holding landlords accountable across the five boroughs. Under Commissioner Dina Levy and the Mamdani Administration, HPD is pursuing an ambitious housing agenda focused on the needs of New York’s tenants.

Reporting directly to the Executive Deputy Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner will oversee HPD’s Office of Financial Management, which includes the Divisions of Budget, Capital Planning, and Fiscal Affairs.
The Division of Budget manages the agency’s $1+ billion operation budget, which is comprised of nearly 25 funding streams from city, state, federal, and other categorical sources. The division’s staff advise and support HPD’s program managers and budget liaisons on matters pertaining to funding availability, grant compliance, cost saving initiatives, financial analysis, and program development.

Together, these divisions ensure that HPD’s financial resources are aligned, optimized, and deployed effectively to advance the agency’s mission and the goals of the Mayoral Housing Plan, Block by Block.
Your Role: This is a pivotal senior role responsible for shaping HPD’s financial strategy, strengthening operational efficiency, and ensuring the agency’s resources are positioned to support the creation and preservation of affordable housing for New Yorkers.

This position will work closely with internal divisions and external agency partners to ensure HPD’s financial infrastructure is sound, transparent, and aligned with agency priorities. As a senior leader, the Deputy Commissioner will oversee and support the work of Assistant Commissioners and other senior team members, establishing clear priorities for the Office of Financial Management and ensuring effective coordination across the Divisions of Budget, Capital Planning, and Fiscal Affairs. The Deputy Commissioner will also play a critical role in staff development, fostering a collaborative culture, strengthening analytic and operational capacity, and ensuring that teams are equipped to meet evolving agency needs and deliver high-quality financial management.
The ideal candidate is a collaborative senior leader with deep experience in public-sector financial management, strong analytical capabilities, and a demonstrated ability to lead high-performing teams in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
