Annual Disclosure Specialist

and the job listing Expires on January 30, 2026

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.

• Strong computer and technical skills, including proficiency with Adobe Acrobat, Excel, Word, and Outlook, as well as Internet-based research.
• Good communication skills, both oral and written.
• An interest in the workings of New York City government.
