Columbia operates under a charter, council-manager form of government. The City Manager is appointed by and serves at the discretion of the Council.

The Assistant City Manager (ACM) provides executive leadership and strategic guidance across the organization and serves as a key extension of the City Manager, providing coverage for the CM as needed. The City of Columbia is seeking an experienced and visionary leader with strong decision-making skills who values relationship building and customer service and brings executive-level local government experience as a City Manager, Deputy or Assistant City Manager, or comparable role.

Required qualifications include:

  • Bachelor's degree in public administration, political science, business, or a related field
  • Minimum of 10 years of executive city management experience

Preferred qualifications include:

  • Master's degree in a related field
  • Credentialing as an ICMA Certified City Manager (ICMA-CM)
  • Demonstrated leadership experience with the ability to oversee diverse departments, programs, and services.

An equivalent combination of education, training, and experience will be considered.

The City of Columbia is offering a salary range of $126,818 to $195,270, DOQ.

Residency within city limits is preferred but not required.
