The Team You’ll Work With: The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Community Safety is responsible for advancing the City's strategy to keep New Yorkers safe through coordinated, effective, and community-centered approaches to public safety. The Office works across City government to prevent violence, strengthen crisis response, support victims and survivors, improve neighborhood safety, and build systems that address the root causes of harm.

The Deputy Mayor for Community Safety oversees and coordinates a portfolio of agencies, offices, and initiatives focused on violence prevention, crisis response, behavioral health, hate crime prevention, gender-based violence, reentry, youth safety, victim services, and neighborhood-based public safety strategies. The Office works closely with agencies and mayoral offices across City government to ensure that public safety efforts are strategic, accountable, and aligned with the Administration's priorities.

  • Address concerns that overlap with safety and re-integration into community during and following periods of system entanglement or incarceration.
  • Develop and coordinate evidence-based and innovative approaches to reducing likelihood of reincarceration or recurring system entanglement.
  • Help align New York City policy, practice, and investments with the evidence base for decarceration.
  • Lead cross-system problem-solving on cases and systemic issues that extend beyond the capacity of the First Deputy Mayor and other Deputy Mayor portfolios, ensuring community safety considerations are integrated into law enforcement and legal system response and reforms.
  • Provide program and project management support, especially on emergent, sensitive, high-visibility, and operationally complex initiatives at the intersection of the legal system and community safety.
  • Help track deliverables, timelines, budgets, risks, and follow-up items for priority projects.
  • Write, edit, and coordinate reviews of briefings, memos, talking points, presentations, reports, and other materials to communicate complex policy and operational topics to a wide range of audiences.
  • Participate in internal and external meetings, working groups, task forces, and similar convenings with or on behalf of the Deputy Mayor's Office to ensure appropriate follow-up and clear next steps.

About You:

  • You have working knowledge of New York’s legal systems or comparable large, complex systems.
  • You can operate independently with excellent time management skills and demonstrated ability to deliver on multiple, competing priorities in a dynamic environment.
  • You can effectively interact with people and partners across all levels within an organization, from frontline responders to managers and agency executives.
  • You have proven ability to navigate complex service systems and follow through on cross-agency problem-solving from identification to resolution.
  • You have strong judgment, discretion, and ability to work on sensitive issues involving individuals in crisis, vulnerable populations, interagency coordination, and community concerns about safety.
  • You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex operational and policy information into clear and compelling materials for a range of audiences.

  • Do you have a satisfactory combination of education and/or experience equivalent to that described in questions "1," "2," and/or "3" above?
