HRA is dedicated to fighting poverty and income inequality by providing New Yorkers in need with essential benefits such as Food Assistance and Emergency Rental Assistance. DHS is committed to preventing and addressing homelessness in New York City by employing a variety of innovative strategies to help families and individuals successfully exit shelter and return to self-sufficiency as quickly as possible.
DSS is seeking to hire one (1) Director of Administration M-VII to function as Chief Operating Officer (COO) who under the executive direction of the DSS First Deputy Commissioner, with the broadest latitude for the exercise of independent action and decision-making, will be responsible for directing and coordinating the overall management of all HRA/DSS management support/administrative areas.

Emergency Management (EM) works directly with DSS/HRA & DHS programs to plan, prepare, respond to and recover from emergencies, while implementing policies and procedures to prioritize the most vulnerable clients.
- Police Operations - responsible for ensuring the safety and security of HRA staff/clients/visitors at all HRA locations, as well as the safeguarding of HRA property, through planning, directing and coordinating all phases of security services, which are managed through a large HRA police force.
- Community Food Connection - works to address food insecurity and improve the nutritional status of New Yorkers in need.
The Chief Operating Officer will be responsible for planning, developing and formulating policies and procedures impacting the programs of DSS/HRA; identify and resolve problems and conflicts impacting DSS/HRA operations; have a major policy-making role in establishing programs which enable key staff members to perform efficiently to ensure future executive and management requirements. The COO will serve as a chief advisor to the Commissioner in the formulation, resolution and interpretation of major policy issues as it relates to the assigned areas of responsibility and advising other executive team members accordingly; serve on task forces, committees and boards representing the Agency’s position as it relates to this jurisdictional area of responsibility.
