City Manager
City of Ottawa Ottawa, KS, USA
A small town with a big heart, the City of Ottawa offers an inclusive, friendly, and welcoming community a short drive to big-city amenities. One of the largest full-service small towns in Kansas, Ottawa sits on the eastern side of the state, about an hour’s drive from Kansas City, with quick access to more than one airport across the area thanks to I-35, US 59, and K-68. The City of Ottawa is seeking a collaborative, compassionate, and community-minded leader ready to guide a city poised for unprecedented growth. City leaders are looking for an active listener who values public and employee engagement, listening intently to many others before voicing their own opinions. The right fit for this role is authentic and emotionally intelligent, with strong communication and interpersonal skills. They are also steady and patient, thinking through their decisions and avoiding “knee-jerk” reactions. Candidates should value diversity, equity, and inclusion and be willing to speak for others who cannot speak for themselves. Working knowledge of planning, community and economic development, municipal finances, strategic and succession planning, and utility operations — including municipally owned electric and broadband, water, and wastewater — will be valuable. To face the challenges ahead, the new city manager must be ethical, transparent, energetic, and immensely approachable, accepting scrutiny, disagreement, and opposition as constructive criticism. And they must be strategic, diplomatic, and politically savvy, a community-builder who fosters innovation and creativity while setting a bold vision for Ottawa that is sensitive to its history, traditions, and foundations. This position requires a master’s degree in public administration, political science, business management, or a closely related field from an accredited institution of higher education and at least 10 years of responsible administrative, business, and industry and/or municipal public agency experience. Knowledge of municipal finance, human resources, public works, public safety, and community development is preferred, as is certification from the International City/County Management Association. Ottawa is offering a starting salary range of $150,000 to $175,000 for this position, depending on qualifications and experience.
