Description:

Chief Assistant County Administrators (two opportunities)

Contra Costa County, with over 1 million residents, is one of the nine counties in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area. The County includes varied urban, suburban, industrial, agricultural and port areas and contains 19 incorporated cities. The County provides a full range of services through its 25 departments and 8,900 full-time employees and for FY 2015/16 has a total budget of $3.06 billion with a General Fund of $1.4 billion.

Two Chief Assistant County Administrator opportunities are currently open and both require the ability to assist the County Administrator in making major financial, administrative and policy recommendations to the Board of Supervisors as well as conducting or directing special projects and the analysis of public policy issues that are complex, difficult and are of a sensitive nature. Along with these high-level generalist management skills as a foundation for both positions, it is expected that one Chief Assistant County Administrator take the lead on the Financial functions of the County (assisting with the development of the annual budget and the review of expenditures and revenues during the fiscal year as well as developing and presenting short and/or long range fiscal plans) and that the other Chief Assistant County Administrator take the lead in supervising and coordinating large County Capital Projects (including providing project management, serving as a liaison, and overseeing contract administration for the design, construction and modification of County buildings and structures). Looking to the future, both Chief Assistant County Administrators are expected to partner with and support the County Administrator, be open to mentoring opportunities, and have the desire to advance their leadership role with Contra Costa County.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree and five years of executive level management experience (with three of those years as a division head or higher in a public agency) required; Masters degree and County experience desirable. The salary range for both of these incredible opportunities is from $165,233 to $205,875 DOQ/DOE with excellent benefits.
