Full-time

Careers In Government

Kensington is a community bordered by the City of Berkeley to the south and El Cerrito to the east and north. The area offers a unique blend of small-town charm and urban convenience, with peaceful tree‑lined streets and easy access to nearby parks and hiking trails. On October 1, 2025, the Kensington Fire Protection District and the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District officially consolidated into one new entity: the Kensington Community Services District (KCSD) . This unified district will deliver essential services including Police, Fire, Parks, Recreation, and Solid Waste, ensuring cost‑effective and coordinated support for the community.

KCSD seeks a hands‑on, community‑focused leader to serve as its next General Manager. The ideal candidate will be a diplomatic and innovative professional who thrives in a small, engaged community environment. This role requires a strategic thinker capable of managing complex public service operations, fostering interagency collaboration, and strengthening community preparedness for emergencies such as earthquakes and wildfires. This is a unique opportunity to serve a highly engaged and civically active community that values transparency, public safety, and thoughtful stewardship of local resources. The next General Manager will play a pivotal role in advancing the District’s mission, supporting its dedicated staff, and guiding strategic initiatives that ensure fiscal sustainability and exceptional community services.

Qualified candidates will typically possess a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with major coursework in public or business administration, public policy, finance, or a related field. Five (5) years of increasingly responsible administrative or management experience in a California public agency, special district, or comparable organization is expected, including at least three (3) years in a supervisory or executive leadership role. Experience with police or fire district management, emergency preparedness, or community infrastructure projects is highly desirable.

The annual salary range for the General Manager position is anticipated to be up to $230,000 and will be dependent on experience and qualifications. If you are interested in this outstanding opportunity, please visit our website at to apply online. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Mr. Ian Schmutzler at View phone number on apply.placed-app.com. Filing Deadline: July 28, 2026
