We're hiring the person, not just the title.

 

• Deputy Community Development Director - $182,763-$233,258
• Planning Manager -$162,189 -$207,000

Belmont's Community Development Department is hiring, and uniquely, this is one opening that can be shaped by the right candidate. Depending on your experience and qualifications, the City will appoint at either the Deputy Community Development Director or Planning Manager level.

As Deputy Community Development Director, you would step into a senior leadership role working hand-in-hand with the Director to guide the department's overall direction. This is a position for someone with a broad portfolio of experience who is ready to share responsibility for the department's success, represent the City at a high level, and help set the strategic course for community development in Belmont.

As Planning Manager, the focus sharpens around leading the planning function directly, overseeing the Planning Commission, managing a robust pipeline of current development projects, and driving advance planning initiatives tied to City Council priorities. This is the right fit for a strong planner-leader who wants to go deep on planning practice while growing into greater management responsibility.

Both roles involve mentoring staff, improving processes, developing policy, and working in a collegial environment where good judgment and a sense of humor go a long way. Whichever title you come in at, you'll have a genuine opportunity to make your mark on Belmont's future - not from the sidelines, but from the room where decisions get made.
