Associate Director of Policy Implementation

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE BOARD

The Campaign Finance Board is a nonpartisan, independent city agency that empowers New Yorkers to have a greater impact on their elections. Our mission is to make local democracy more open, transparent, and equitable by removing barriers to participation.

We make it easier for New Yorkers to vote, meaningfully support candidates for city office, and run for office themselves. NYC Votes, our voter engagement initiative, meets people where they are to share trustworthy election information and help New Yorkers make a plan to vote. We publish the citywide Voter Guide, which delivers information about candidates directly to voters’ doors. Our public matching funds program ensures small contributions can make a big difference, allowing regular people to run for office by relying on the support of other regular people, not just wealthy donors and special interests.

And we lift the veil on how candidates raise and spend money, increasing transparency and accountability in local government.

We believe that when every New Yorker is empowered to participate meaningfully in elections, candidates will better reflect the communities they serve, elected leaders will be more accountable to the public, and New Yorkers will have a democracy they can truly trust.

Strategy, Products, and Innovation Division

The Strategy, Products, and Innovation (SPI) division is where the agency plans its future and builds it. SPI brings together long‑term planning, research and policy implementation, product development, and technology modernization operating across the agency to test new ideas and turn them into lasting improvements and new experiences. Across all of its work, the division is committed to advancing a democracy that is more open, transparent, and equitable for all New Yorkers.

The Strategy and Policy department allows the agency to deliver on its mission to expand and strengthen NYC’s democracy through evaluating impact, developing policy solutions, fostering intergovernmental connections, analyzing legislation, and more. Internally, the department leads strategic planning, program evaluation, and the creation and implementation of policies that guide how the agency operates and evolves over time. Externally, the department shapes New York City's elections landscape by publishing legislative recommendations and original, data-driven research through the Voter Analysis and Post‑Election Reports, work that informs decision-makers and contributes to a stronger democratic process across the city.

The department also manages the agency's relationships with policymakers and government officials, ensuring the agency maintains a strong, credible voice in the conversations that matter most.

The Policy & Research unit advances the agency’s mission through research, analysis, and policy development focused on voter behavior and campaign finance. The unit identifies opportunities to strengthen agency programs and improve New York City’s elections and campaign finance systems. As the agency’s central research and publication hub, the unit produces high‑quality, data‑driven reports (including the Voter Analysis Report and the Post‑Election Report) that transform complex data into actionable insights and policy recommendations for agency leadership and external stakeholders.

The unit also leads the development, implementation, and evaluation of public policy and agency wide policy changes, ensuring that the agency’s work is informed by evidence, aligned with strategic goals, and responsive to emerging challenges and the larger policy landscape. Policy & Research sits within the Strategy & Policy department, which also includes the Strategic Planning Operations unit and the Intergovernmental Affairs team.

The Strategy & Policy department moves research and ideas into practice in order to expand and strengthen NYC’s democracy.
