Come work with us! COIB is an independent City agency that fights corruption and promotes integrity in City government by teaching, interpreting, and enforcing the City’s conflicts of interest law. By providing legal advice and ethics training to all City employees and by prosecuting violations of the law, COIB upholds the good government standards in the City’s conflicts of interest law and helps City employees avoid conflicts of interest.

The New York City Conflicts of Interest Board (“COIB”), one of the nation’s premier government ethics agencies, is hiring a Deputy Director for its Enforcement Unit. COIB is a small, independent agency that protects the integrity of City government by administering and enforcing the City’s conflicts of interest law. The conflicts of interest law applies to the more than 300,000 public servants across all of New York City government (as well as former public servants) and regulates conduct including nepotism, outside financial interests, disclosure of confidential information, acceptance of gifts, and revolving door restrictions.


In addition to helping manage the Enforcement Unit, the Deputy Director will handle a variety of challenging and interesting cases across all levels of City government and often involving issues of significant public concern. In handling those cases, the Deputy Director will learn a great deal about the operations of City government and gain significant litigation experience. Work will include reviewing evidence, drafting charges, negotiating settlements, and litigating cases at the New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.


The Deputy Director must be able to engage in sophisticated and nuanced legal analysis and write clearly and concisely. An ideal candidate will demonstrate a knowledge of and interest in the workings of New York City government.


The New York City Conflicts of Interest Board (“COIB”) is seeking a Specialist for its Annual Disclosure (“AD”) Unit. COIB is a small, independent agency that protects the integrity of City government by administering and enforcing the City’s annual disclosure law and conflicts of interest law. Each year, nearly 9,000 public servants are required to file reports disclosing their personal financial interests to help ensure that those interests do not conflict with their official duties. The AD Specialist will:

    • Communicate with filers, orally and in writing, to notify them of their filing requirements and deadlines, provide technical support regarding the filing process, inform them when revisions are needed to their report, and assist with those revisions.
    • Manage the daily operations of the filing process for select groups of filers, including identifying public servants required to file in coordination with City agencies; maintaining the administrative database; and tracking compliance.
    • Review reports, conduct research, contact filers, and work with agency attorneys to ensure that filers are transparent about their financial interests and to identify potential conflicts that need to be addressed through Board orders and formal recusals.


To fulfill these job duties, the AD Specialist must have the maturity, discretion, and judgment necessary to handle confidential matters; the capacity to handle a high volume of telephone calls with a professional and calm demeanor; exceptional organizational skills; meticulous attention to detail; and the ability to prioritize competing tasks. The ideal candidate will bring curiosity, tenacity, and critical thinking to the work to ensure that public servants are being transparent and held accountable for violations of the law.
