The team prepares recommendations, testimony, and scoping comments for applications in public review, provides Manhattan’s twelve Community Boards with technical assistance, and advances research on key issues and opportunities facing the borough, such as housing affordability, climate resiliency, and access to public open space.

The Urban Designer will draw from expertise in architecture, landscape architecture and/or urban design to advocate for excellence in urban design across the Borough President’s portfolio of projects and initiatives. The ideal candidate will be a curious and enthusiastic learner, an artful problem-solver, an excellent visual and verbal communicator, a critical and engaged user of design technology, and possess a positive attitude toward interdisciplinary work and community service.

Under supervision, with latitude for independent judgment, the Urban Designer’s responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
1. A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college and two years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties described above; or
2. High school graduation or equivalent and six years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties as described above; or
