Position Summary:
Due to the pending retirement of the current long-serving township manager, the Richland Township Board of Supervisors is seeking an experienced leader with a proven record of success in Pennsylvania local government to serve as the Township's chief administrative officer. The Manager's responsibilities are listed in the Township Manager Job Description and in Richland's Home Rule Charter and Administrative Code. The manager is responsible for overseeing the Township's workforce in the day-to-day operation of Township business and is ultimately accountable for the quality and effectiveness of the overall performance of the municipal government. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated track record of achievement in the areas listed in the Township Manager Job Description, as well as a minimum of five years of increasing responsible experience in municipal management and strong credentials in budgeting, finance, collective bargaining, capital project management and customer service. A master's degree in public administration, or a closely related field is required, though experience may be substituted for the educational requirement, if the Board deems it to be appropriate. Residency is not required. However, the manager needs to be available to respond to and be present in the community for emergencies when they occur. Board members expect that the Manager will participate in community activities outside of the hours of the traditional workday and will be available and responsive to the needs of the community 24/7.
The successful candidate must lead by example and encourage collaboration to build a strong team of committed employees and volunteers who will work hard to solve problems and achieve organizational goals. The manager must treat every staff member, resident, business owner and person who interacts with the Township with dignity and respect. To be successful, the manager must also understand the role of the position in relation to the Board of Supervisors and have a willingness to commit to a long tenure of service.
