Job Title: City Manager
Posted By: City of Nome, AK
Opening Date: Dec 28, 2024
City Manager, Nome, AK (population 3,695)
Located on Alaska's western tip, and overlooking the Bering Sea, Nome is a critical hub for the Seward Peninsula. The Bering Strait region is the historic and contemporary home of 20 Native Alaska tribes whose members share a rich culture of Inupiaq, Central Yupik and St. Lawrence Island Yupik Peoples. This City is enriched by traditional culture and the history of North America's last and greatest gold rush. The City was incorporated in 1901 in response to the influx of people who flocked to Nome after gold was discovered in 1898. Nome continues to draw visitors through its yearly events, unique lifestyle, and wild, natural surroundings. While living on the edges of civilization is not easy, residents couldn't imagine living anywhere else. For those who crave dramatic mountains, unrivaled wildlife, northern lights, and total immersion in nature, Nome is your final destination.
The Nome City Council is seeking a seasoned Manager and leader to work as a partner, a supporter, and a trusted advisor. The individual will be a consensus-builder who knows how to help everyone get to yes and will work closely with the Council to implement its priorities.
The ideal candidate must have a minimum of five to ten years of progressive senior management experience as a City Manager, Assistant City Manager, or Department Head. A bachelor's degree in public administration, public policy, or a related field is expected. While not mandatory, a master's degree is highly desirable. Knowledge of Alaska and its laws are pluses, but not requirements.
The salary range is $185,000 to $210,000. To apply, e-mail your cover letter and resume to [email protected] by January 17th.
