Outreach Coordinator

Job Description ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD

The Campaign Finance Board is a nonpartisan, independent city agency that empowers New Yorkers to have a greater impact on their elections. Our mission is to make local democracy more open, transparent, and equitable by removing barriers to participation.

We make it easier for New Yorkers to vote, meaningfully support candidates for city office, and run for office themselves. NYC Votes, our voter engagement initiative, meets people where they are to share trustworthy election information and help New Yorkers make a plan to vote. We publish the citywide Voter Guide, which delivers information about candidates directly to voters’ doors. Our public matching funds program ensures small contributions can make a big difference, allowing regular people to run for office by relying on the support of other regular people, not just wealthy donors and special interests. And we lift the veil on how candidates raise and spend money, increasing transparency and accountability in local government.

We believe that when every New Yorker is empowered to participate meaningfully in elections, candidates will better reflect the communities they serve, elected leaders will be more accountable to the public, and New Yorkers will have a democracy they can truly trust.

ABOUT THE UNIT

Public Affairs Division

The Public Affairs division engages New Yorkers, informs them about elections, and boosts their participation in the democratic process. We make election information accessible and relevant, increase engagement with underrepresented communities, and cultivate a team that reflects our core values of purpose, curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.

The division includes Marketing and Digital Communications, Partnerships and Outreach, Language Access, and Public Relations. Our division’s work includes publishing the citywide Voter Guide, running the official citywide Debates Program, and managing the voter engagement initiative, NYC Votes.

Partnerships & Outreach Unit

The Partnerships and Outreach unit works to build partnerships across the city to disseminate voting information, deliver accessible voter education, and conduct direct to voter outreach. Through relationships with community-based organizations as well as on-the-ground voter outreach, this team creates pathways for all New Yorkers to gain trustworthy and accessible information and education around voting and democracy.

JOB DESCRIPTION

This role reports directly to the Senior Outreach Manager and is responsible for leading outreach, relationship management, and community engagement efforts that strengthen voter participation across New York City. The position supports the NYC Votes initiative by building partnerships, organizing events, maintaining outreach operations, and ensuring accurate data and reporting practices that align with agency standards. NYC Votes is an initiative of the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB), a nonpartisan, independent agency, that aims to inform New Yorkers about elections and boost their civic participation in the democratic process.

Under our NYC Votes initiative, you would implement direct voter engagement efforts in priority neighborhoods and among groups of voters who have historically had lower participation, often due to structural barriers. These efforts can include voter registration drives, community events, partnerships with local organizations and institutions to distribute voting information, door-to-door and site-based canvassing, text banking, and other related activities. In addition, the outreach efforts you’re implementing may also highlight the benefits of the Matching Funds program, increasing awareness of the CFB’s work under its other major Charter Mandate and how the agency’s efforts help strengthen democracy in NYC. On the Outreach Team, your role will be to thoughtfully plan, design, and execute multi-modal outreach events for all NYC elections, typically rolling out three to six months ahead of each election.

The responsibilities and tasks to be completed in this role include, but are not limited to:
