boroughs, coordinating public agencies and departments, and managing public property. New York City
Mayor Eric Adams is head of the executive branch of New York City's government. Previously, Mayor
Adams has served the people of New York City as an NYPD officer, state senator, and Brooklyn borough

The Team You’ll Work With

The Mayor’s Office for International Affairs serves as the liaison between the City and New York City’s
international community, which includes 193 Permanent Missions, 116 Consulates, over 70 Trade
Commissions, and the headquarters of the United Nations. The Office functions as a global platform from
which the City can promote its goals for a more just and equitable society, showcase the diversity of New
Yorkers, and share best practices with the world. The Office also works to foster positive relations and
to encourage collaboration between the international community and New York City’s agencies and local
neighborhoods.

The Problems You’ll Solve

The Strategic Relationships Director (SRD) will support the office in carrying out a strategic effort to
highlight the work of city agencies and their best practices, including through joint programming and
partnerships with NYC agencies, Consulates, Permanent Missions, and the United Nations. The SRD will

Consulates, Permanent Missions, and the United Nations, with a special focus on Asia and the Middle
East. The SRD will also play a critical role in delivering on the Office’s core operational and protocol
obligations, including facilitating the visits of delegations from governments (municipal, state, federal)
around the world while continuing to foster the strong relationship between the broad diplomatic
community and the City. Finally, the SRD will develop strategies for engaging the diplomatic corps
through events, meetings, and other opportunities.
