TASK FORCE: Miscellaneous Revenue & IFA

UNIT: Miscellaneous Revenue

JOB TITLE: One (1) Summer Intern

CONTROL CODE: MRI Intern-25-01


SUMMARY:

The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is the City government's chief financial agency. OMB's staff of analysts and experts assembles and oversees the Mayor’s expense and capital budgets, which fund the services and activities of approximately 90 City agencies and entities.

The Miscellaneous Revenue Unit forecasts and monitors all sources of revenue received by more than 60 City agencies with the exception of taxes and grants. There are three major groupings of Miscellaneous Revenue: Cost-based Charges (Licenses, Permits, and Charges for Services); Water and Sewer revenues; and Other Income (Interest Income, Franchises, Rental Income, Fines, and Miscellaneous). The Task Force also initiates and manages many projects designed to increase revenue and improve revenue-related operations.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Fee Database Development: Most fees charged by the City are backed by a user fee analysis approved by OMB. However, there is currently no centralized database tracking all active fees. The intern will be responsible for creating this database which will involve researching key details such as legislative authority, implementation dates, and the agencies responsible for administering each fee. Report Management & Revenue Monitoring: In addition to the database project, the intern will gain hands-on experience with core analyst responsibilities. This will include updating regular reports, tracking revenue streams, and assisting with data analysis to support decision-making.

QUALIFICATIONS:

The ideal candidate should have:
- strong research and analytical skills to gather and synthesize information from various sources, including legislative documents and agency reports.
- Attention to detail is essential to ensure accuracy in compiling fee data and monitoring revenue streams.
- Proficiency in Excel or other data management tools is required for organizing and analyzing data efficiently.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills are also important for documenting findings clearly and effectively.
Additionally, the intern should be proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple tasks independently while seeking guidance when necessary. Prior experience with government finance, policy research, or data analysis is a plus but not required."

Graduate interns must be currently enrolled or accepted into a graduate program. Candidates should have strong analytical, quantitative, research and communication skills. Additionally, candidates must be proficient in MS Word and Excel
