Assistant County Manager - Johnson County, KS

Listing Title:
Assistant County Manager

Listing Description
Founded in 1855, Johnson County is one of the nation’s premier counties, providing comprehensive services to its citizens in its role as a leading organization in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The Johnson County community is nestled in the southwestern quadrant of the Kansas City metropolitan area (combined population of 2 million), along the Kansas/Missouri border, and exhibits all the hallmarks of a great, largely suburban community: a thriving and growing business sector; nationally recognized public schools; first-class cultural and recreational amenities; and distinctive and welcoming neighborhoods. The largest county in Kansas, Johnson County is a growing and diverse community of about 629,000 residents. The county consists of several larger suburbs, including Olathe, the county seat, and Overland Park, the second most populous city in the Kansas City Metropolitan area.

Johnson County operates under the commission-manager form of government with a 7-member elected Board of County Commissioners. Johnson County operates on a $1.83 billion operating and capital budget and has more than 4,200 full-time equivalent positions (FTEs) and offers more than 450 services, from renewing car tags to providing emergency medical services. At Johnson County Government, we challenge ourselves to be a different kind of government because we care deeply about our community and each other. Committed to our shared values, we provide excellent public service, seeking always to improve ourselves and our organization.

Johnson County is seeking an Assistant County Manager who will provide strategic direction for the county and leadership for a designated portfolio of departments, agencies and offices with the common goal of leaving our community better than we found it. This highly responsible leadership position, which reports directly to the County Manager, along with a Deputy County Manager and two other Assistant County Managers makes up an essential part of the County Manager’s leadership team. It requires a significant amount of interaction with the public, including night meetings.

The successful candidate will have a bachelor’s degree in public administration, business administration, or relevant field and 10 years of progressively responsible, professional-level related experience, including experience working with elected and appointed officials. Five years of supervisory experience is required. A master’s degree and local government management experience is preferred, but any combination of experience and education that provides candidates with the required qualifications may be considered. ICMA credentialled manager status preferred.

Johnson County is an equal opportunity/equal access employer and offers a competitive salary and benefits package. The expected salary range for this position is $167,822 to $251,734 annually and will be based on experience.
