The Finance Information Technology (FIT) Division designs, builds, and supports all facets of DOF’s computer systems, including hardware, software, applications, infrastructure, telephone, and data security. FIT delivers and administers tax-related payment programs for the City of New York by providing the information technology solutions needed to achieve its mission of collecting revenue while ensuring an efficient and improved customer experience.

The division is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented individual to serve as a Website Content Graduate Intern, who will contribute to the management and enhancement of our agency website, which attracts over 800,000 visitors each month.

This internship offers a unique chance to make a meaningful impact while gaining hands-on experience in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. The primary responsibility of this role is to support the migration of content from our current website into a new Content Management System (CMS), Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
