DOT is seeking a Community Coordinator to serve as the Design and Marketplace Program Manager within the Outdoor Dining unit.

The City has been working since then to turn the emergency program into a permanent program, and last year, DOT launched Dining Out NYC, the City's new permanent outdoor dining program. Under the supervision of the Executive Director, the selected candidate will serve as the Design lead for Outdoor Dining. Responsibilities include but are not limited to managing the content on the dining out website, leading the continued efforts to expand design and product offerings on the marketplace, engage and train interested companies looking to join the marketplace.
