Job Description

Working within the Policy Unit, the Program Manager will plan, develop, implement, and oversee the agency’s new Public E-Bike Charging Program, funded through a $25 million RAISE grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The program will provide publicly-accessible e-bike and battery charging stations in the public right of way at dozens of New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) campuses. This new initiative is integral to New York City’s effort to combat building fires caused by substandard lithium-ion e-bike batteries and ensure that New Yorkers, particularly tens of thousands of food delivery workers, are using safe e-bikes and charging practices. The role will combine strategic planning and program development with community engagement and field work to evaluate potential sites.

The Program Manager will coordinate with planning, procurement, technical, and grants teams across the agency, as well as with NYCHA, the New York City Fire Department, the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, and the Federal Transit Administration to develop and launch this important new program. They will represent the agency at meetings with external stakeholders, including delivery worker groups and public housing residents. The Program Manager may also support other e-bike and charging initiatives, including the agency’s e-bike trade-in program. The position offers the exciting opportunity to work on a high-profile initiative and partner with talented, dedicated professionals on countless teams across city government to address a pressing public safety concern.
