POSITION OVERVIEW:

The Facilities Administration & Finance Sr Manager is a dynamic, dual-function role at the heart of the Facilities Management team.

• Request, maintain, and monitor Certificates of Insurance (COI) files for vendors and contractors.

• Process annual flood insurance renewal paperwork and maintain associated documentation.

• Attend FDNY hearings and manage related compliance documentation and follow-up.

• Maintain capital project files and departmental central records, databases, and insurance records.

• Maintain and regularly update Excel spreadsheets for vetted vendors and approved contractor lists.

Inspection & Facilities Support

• Monitor and review monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual facility inspections to ensure they are being conducted on schedule.

• Assist and support HQ Facilities personnel as needed; fill in for other Facility Support Staff during absences.

• Collaborate across departments, including Real Estate, Procurement, and Programs, to facilitate smooth operations.

• Complete special projects and other assigned tasks in a timely and professional manner.

CORE COMPETENCIES for the position include:

• Financial Acumen: Detail-oriented understanding of expense management, invoice review, and capital project financial compliance.

• Technical Proficiency: Skilled in Excel and comfortable with financial tracking tools and platforms.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective collaboration with staff, vendors, program teams, and senior leadership.
• Proactive Self-Starter: Takes initiative, identifies potential issues before they elevate, and follows through independently with minimal supervision.
