The Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics (MONUM) was formed in 2010, and serves as the City’s civic research and design team. We tackle projects that cover a range of topics, which includes everything from civic engagement to City infrastructure to public health. We work across departments and communities to explore, experiment, and evaluate new approaches to government and civic life. Civic innovation is more than just increasing government efficiency. It's also about improving the experience and well-being of people. So we ask: “How does Boston create more opportunities for more residents to shape their City and participate in civic life?” Our team brings a diverse array of backgrounds and experiences to the table in hopes of answering that question.   To ground this job description in values, here is an incomplete, over-simplified glimpse into some of the values we hold dearest as a team: - Trust + be trust-able. We aim to practice what we preach. We trust our partners (internally and externally) and work to earn their trust in return. - Be delightful. There’s a lot going on out there in the world. We believe in the value and heart of finding moments of delight in the everyday. - Reframe innovation as care. What if we thought about innovation not as “moving fast and breaking things,” but rather, as an exercise in care— caring for, caring with, caring about—and centered that approach as the novelty that we’re trying to institutionalize? - Lead with curiosity. An important role we often play for our partners is to bring a beginner’s mindset and ask the unasked questions. Our curiosity helps us learn more about the people, places, and prototypes we love.  - Engage in reliability + grace. We show up (sometimes before our partners even ask us to). We try to do so with humility, vulnerability, and grace. - Err toward entrepreneurialism. There’s a million reasons why something can’t be done. What if we lean toward a can-do spirit of “why not”? What is Civic Design? Civic Design challenges the notion of design as purely aesthetic. It looks at city challenges at a systems level and a human scale. The valuebeyond the tools of visual design is in bringing a generative and critical perspective to innovation. This position will continue to address projects and initiatives by leading with creativity in our framing, approach, solutions, and communication around city challenges.
