Are you an experienced, detail-oriented public sector manager with strong municipal administrative and management expertise? Do you have experience working with the California Coastal Commission, groundwater issues, fire service contracts, property management, and rate studies? If so, you should strongly consider applying for this unique opportunity.

Los Osos is an unincorporated community in San Luis Obispo County that is governed through a layered system involving the County, the Los Osos Community Services District, and advisory bodies. This charming community in San Luis Obispo County, often overshadowed by its flashier neighbors, offers a perfect blend of natural wonders, small-town charm, and outdoor adventure.

The Board seeks a fiscally skilled, relationship-oriented leader with strong advocacy, negotiation, and communication abilities. The ideal candidate is creative, confident, approachable, and team-focused. Requires the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree in public admin or a related field and 5 years’ experience in an increasingly responsible public agency management position.

The annual salary for this at-will position is $196,691 - $214,200 depending on qualifications and experience. The District offers an outstanding benefits package that includes fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for the employee with significant contributions towards family premiums, the CalPERS 2% @ 55 for Classic Members, and a generous paid leave program.
