This is an exciting position for an individual with a tremendous passion and love for parks and open space with the ability to inspire a shared vision working collaboratively with an active and involved community. The ideal candidate will embrace the importance of access by a diverse group of recreational users and strive to balance enhancement, expansion and environmental concerns while still preserving the exceptional quality of life in Marin County. This top candidate will also be a charismatic leader with a customer-service orientation and have a proven track record of effectively managing programs, budgets, and staff. With oversight of more than 15,000 acres of open space and 160 miles of public trails, five regional and eight neighborhood parks, the Director is supported by a staff of 64 and a FY09-10 budget of $12.8 million. This executive level position has an annual salary range up to $165,672 with excellent benefits including 1937 Retirement Act (2% @ 55) with reciprocity with CalPERS. This is an at-will position and, as a result, the Board of Supervisors, working in conjunction with the County Administrator’s Office, may negotiate a mutually beneficial package that could include other transition assistance. This recruitment is national in scope and all qualified candidates are encouraged to submit credentials for consideration. This position requires, at a minimum, the equivalent of graduation from a four year college or university with major coursework in park administration, natural resources management, planning, landscape architecture, business or public administration, or in a related area with 7 years senior management experience in planning, acquisition and operations of a variety of parks and open space programs and facilities. Masters degree in a related field is highly desirable.
