MOCJ works with law enforcement and city agencies, non-profits, foundations, and others to implement data-driven strategies that address current crime conditions, prevent offending, and build the strong neighborhoods that ensure enduring safety.

MOCJ houses the Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes (OPHC), which is mandated under Local Law Int. 1234-2018. The mission of OPHC is to coordinate among community-based organizations, NYPD, CCHR, and other agencies on prevention of and responses to hate crime; to plan and implement a coordinated, cooperative citywide response for prevention, education, investigation, prosecution, and impacts on communities from hate crimes; and, to review and prioritize budget requests for all community-based and city agency programs related to hate crimes.

About the Role:

MOCJ is seeking a well-qualified individual to oversee the inter-disciplinary, community-based, and coordinated agency approach required under the new local law. Under the guidance of MOCJ executive leadership, with wide latitude for initiative, judgment and action, the Executive Director for OPHC will serve as MOCJ’s senior level member responsible for developing and implementing innovative solutions to the current rise in hate crimes, creating MOCJ long-term prevention and reduction strategy of hate crimes, and ensuring that OPHC’s policies and programming are effectively implemented and advance strategic goals. Additionally, the candidate will be responsible for coordinating community engagement with the Mayor's Office of Community Affairs.

  • Demonstrated project management and problem-solving skills, with ability to design and implement large-scale, long-term strategic plans. This includes experience that will allow the Executive Director to effectively work with the MOCJ Director and senior staff to develop a comprehensive hate crimes’ prevention and crime reduction plan.

  • Ability to provide thought leadership on areas of emerging concern in preventing hate crimes, informed by knowledge of community needs, the dynamics that cause hate crimes, and the adult and juvenile criminal justice systems in New York City. This includes experience proposing innovative approaches to complex problems, and the ability to develop policy positions for the Mayor’s Office on key areas of existing and emerging concern related to hate crimes, including preparing reports, policy statements, testimony, and other written materials.

  • Effective leadership and communication skills, with the capacity to engage credibly with both internal and external stakeholders and advise the MOCJ Director on OPHC operations and objectives. This includes a proven ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with law enforcement, judicial and other government agencies at the city, state, and federal levels, and with non-profits, foundations, community groups, and others.
