New York, United States Legal Services NYC Full time

Reporting to the Director of Grants & Contract Management, Central Office

Our Organization:
Legal Services NYC fights poverty and seeks racial, social, and economic justice for low-income New Yorkers. For more than 50 years, we have challenged systemic injustices that keep people in poverty and provided legal services that help our clients meet basic needs for housing, income, economic security, family and immigration stability, education, and health care. LSNYC is the largest civil legal services provider in the country; our staff of almost 700 people in neighborhood-based offices and outreach sites across all five boroughs helps over 100,000 New Yorkers annually. We partner with scores of community-based and client-run organizations, elected officials, law schools, public agencies, pro bono lawyers, and the courts to maximize our effectiveness. Our work fights discrimination and helps to achieve equity for low-income New Yorkers.

The Opportunity:
LSNYC seeks a Deputy Director (General Practice) for our Citywide Grants & Contracts Unit at the Central Office to manage grants duties related to a discrete portfolio of non-housing citywide and/or multi-borough grants and contracts, including the following:
1) General Civil Legal Services Funding (IOLA, OCA, and LSC, etc.);
2) Foreclosure;
3) Immigration;
4) Employment Law;
5) Public Benefits and Disability; and

6) Veterans.

The Deputy Director (General Practice) will be located at the LSNYC Central Office in Manhattan and will report to the LSNYC Director of Grants and Contract Management. The Deputy Director (General Practice) will directly supervise 2 grants specialists—one focusing on general civil funding, foreclosure, immigration and employment and the second (the Benefits & Veterans Grant Specialist) focusing on public benefits, disability and veterans’ grants. The latter position is a NEW position and will be primarily supervised by the Deputy Director (General Practice) but also partially supervised by the Deputy Director (Housing). The Deputy Director (General Practice) will also work closely with the Citywide Housing Director & Deputy Director, Borough Supervisors, and Borough Grant Managers and Specialists.

The Deputy Director (General Practice) may be expected to travel to various borough offices, city agencies, and funder offices for grants and contracts management-related duties. Along with the Deputy Director (Housing) in Central Grants, the Deputy Director (General Practice) in Central Grants will serve as one of the two administrators in charge of the Central Grants & Contracts team in the absence of the Director of Grants & Contracts.

Job Responsibilities include:
The Deputy Director (General Practice’s) job responsibilities will include the following substantive areas:
1) General Civil Legal Services Funding: Partnering with the Director of Grants & Contracts, oversee all aspects of the LSNYC’s citywide general civil legal assistance grants—IOLA, OCA, and LSC, among others. Supervise the grants specialist who handles quarterly IOLA reporting and other general civil legal services reporting tasks. Run custom statistical reports for annual IOLA, OCA and LSC reports and coordinate requests to the boroughs and LSU staff for narrative information for annual narrative reports.

2) Foreclosure: Supervise the grants specialist who handles foreclosure reporting clean-up, reporting, and benchmarking. Liaise with foreclosure funders and borough supervisors and grants staff.

4) Employment: Supervise the grants specialist who handles employment reporting clean-up, reporting, and benchmarking. Liaise with employment law funders and borough employment law supervisors and grants staff. Co-manage contract development with the Director of Grants & Contracts.

5) Public Benefits and Disability: Supervise the NEW grants specialist who will handle public benefits & disability grant data clean-up, reporting, and benchmarking. Liaise with public benefits funders, contractors & subcontractors, borough supervisors (including both public benefits/disability supervisors and the Citywide Housing Director & Deputy Director who oversee a housing-related public benefits contract) and grants staff. Co-manage contract development with the Director of Grants & Contracts.

7) And other related grants duties, including audit supervision, as time permits, assigned by the Director of Grants & Contract Management.

Requirements include:
