The New York City Mayor's Office is responsible for overseeing city services throughout the five boroughs, coordinating public agencies and departments, and managing public property. The administration is leading the fight in making the city more affordable, reducing inequality, improving public safety, ensuring delivery of efficient and effective services, and working to make New York City's economy stronger. The Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) was established in 1984 and incorporated into the New York City Charter in 2001 to promote the economic, civic, and social integration of immigrant New Yorkers, expand access to justice, and advance policies that strengthen immigrant communities across the city.

The Senior Community Liaison plays a key role in strengthening MOIA's connection to immigrant communities across New York City. This role leads community engagement efforts in assigned neighborhoods, ensuring that immigrant New Yorkers have access to accurate information, critical services, and meaningful opportunities to engage with the City government.

• Identify community needs, emerging issues, and service gaps, and provide recommendations to MOIA leadership.
• Support coordinated outreach and engagement efforts across MOIA teams and City agency partners.
• Contribute to rapid response efforts related to emerging issues affecting immigrant communities.
