Tucked along a bend of the Missouri River in northwestern Missouri, the City of St. Joseph is a vibrant community of over 72,000 residents with uncommon character.
St. Joseph is a full-service, charter city operating under a council-manager form of government with a nine-person City Council — an at-large mayor, four at-large council members, and four district-elected council members.
The City of St. Joseph is seeking a skilled and community-focused City Manager ready to lead with vision, strategy, and a commitment to excellence. The right fit for this position is collaborative and approachable, able to work closely with the City Council, directors, employee groups, and other civic leaders to move initiatives forward. St. Joseph is a tight-knit community, and the new hire must understand the responsibility of representing and advocating for the organization and building and maintaining vital relationships with partners within the Community Alliance as well as regional and state governmental entities.
A bachelor’s degree in public administration, business administration, finance, or a closely related field is required, with a master’s degree preferred. Candidates should also have seven (7) years’ experience in municipal government in increasingly responsible positions, part of which should be as a City Manager or Assistant City Manager with significant managerial responsibilities.
The selected candidate must hold a valid Missouri driver’s license throughout their tenure. Please note that they will also be required to establish residency within the City limits, as the Charter requires.
St. Joseph is offering a salary range of $175,000-$200,000 for this position, depending on experience and qualifications.
Deadline for the first review of applications: 11/3/24
