JOB TITLE: Economic Development Program Specialist 2 (NY HELPS) SG23, PEF LOCATION: Albany
APPOINTMENT TYPE: Temporary* JURISDICTION CLASS: Pending Non-Competitive
DEPARTMENT: Small Business and Technology Development
625 Broadway
Albany, NY 12245
*This position is temporary and will become permanent upon approval of non-competitive jurisdictional class status
BASIC FUNCTION:
Under the general direction of the Sr. Vice President of Small Business and Technology Development, Capital Access, the incumbent will be integral in providing program outreach, marketing, origination (particularly credit related instruments or grants), guidelines development, management, and reporting. Further, the team member will provide technical advice, problem-solving assistance, program information and processing to economic/business development organizations, program stakeholders and businesses or prospective businesses concerning a broad spectrum or economic development issues and initiatives.
WORK PERFORMED:
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS).
For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required. However, all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At this time, agencies may recruit and hire employees by making temporary appointments. In May 2024, if a temporary NY HELPS employee is satisfactorily performing in the position, the appointment will be changed from temporary pending Civil Service Commission Action to permanent non-competitive, and the official probationary period will begin.
At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.
Minimum Appointment Qualifications: A bachelor's degree and three years of experience applying business knowledge, training and experience to provide a wide range of professional and management level economic development services for the promotion of business, tourism and international trade in New York State, providing technical advice and problem-solving assistance to economic development organizations and businesses by conducting business-to-business marketing programs, and promoting, publicizing, and developing strategic plans and initiatives related to business and economic development services.
Substitutions: A juris doctor, master's or higher degree in a related field can substitute for one year of specialized experience.
List Eligibility: Open to those reachable on the Economic Development Program Specialist 2 eligible list.
Promotional Eligibility: One year of permanent competitive service as an Economic Development Program Specialist 1.
Transfer Eligibility: Candidates must have one year of permanent competitive service in a title eligible for transfer via Section 70.1 of the Civil Service Law. Information regarding transfer eligibility may be available on the Civil Service Career Mobility Office website at
(Important Note: Per Civil Service Law, an employee cannot have two, consecutive upward 70.1 or 52.6 transfers without an intervening eligible list appointment if such transfers would exceed two salary grades.)
Reinstatement Eligibility: Previously held the title on a permanent competitive basis or held a title as indicated under the transfer eligible section on a permanent competitive basis.
Preferred Qualifications:
SALARY RANGE: $84,156 - $106,454
Note: The starting salary for candidates with no prior State service will be set at the minimum hiring rate.
ADDITIONAL:
If interested in this position, please forward a cover letter and resume to the e-mail address below by May 18, 2024. Be sure to indicate the position title and location you are applying for and specify how you meet the minimum qualifications in your cover letter.
