    Managing sensitive and controversial issues with media, ratepayers, and the community is also a key aspect of the role as is fostering collaborative relationships with all stakeholders and encourages the community to be active and engaged in the municipality's growth and development.

    Ideally you are a registered planner and an accomplished leader who has progressively taken on senior executive positions in municipal government with community development.

    You have experience leading large teams, ideally within a unionized environment, and have the financial skills to develop and administer complex operating and capital budgets.

    You are known for your ability to forge productive relationships and are persuasive and skilled at negotiating agreements with multiple parties.

    You are politically astute, having worked at the highest levels of your organization and directly with elected officials.

    You pride yourself in providing excellent customer service and developing consensus on high-profile initiatives that have a lasting impact on communities.
