The Mayor’s Office for International Affairs serves as the liaison between the City and New York City’s international community, which includes 193 Permanent Missions, 115 Consulates and the citizens they serve, and the headquarters of the United Nations.

• Provide support, including administrative support, related to visiting delegations of government officials from around the world.
• Manage day-to-day administration and record-keeping related to partnerships, including data entry, management of a strategic relationship database and maintaining relevant contacts.
• Collaborate with the team working on Global Partners, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization located within the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs.
