The New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS) helps unlock economic potential and create economic security for all New Yorkers by connecting New Yorkers to good jobs, creating stronger businesses, and building a fairer economy in neighborhoods across the five boroughs. New York City is a leader in building and supporting neighborhoods that thrive and innovate. SBS’s Neighborhood Development Division (NDD) supports community-based economic development organizations (CBDOs) throughout New York City in order to create the conditions under which local businesses thrive and residents enjoy access to a vibrant mix of goods and services.

NDD is seeking a dynamic Project Manager (PM) to coordinate the agency’s role in large-scale and multi-stakeholder neighborhood planning efforts in low-to-moderate income communities in close partnership with local community groups. The PM will serve as the “neighborhood champion” for his or her assigned geographies, spearheading efforts to direct both SBS and city programs and resources to the neighborhood and local partner CBDOs. The ideal candidate has stellar interpersonal and relationship-building skills, with a strong desire to work at the intersection of city government and community-based organizations to proactively engage diverse neighborhood stakeholders throughout the planning process.
