Job Description
Founded in 1860 as a railroad town, Sedalia is a community rich in history. But just as the rail system has evolved, so has this west-central Missouri city of approximately 22,000. The City of Sedalia is seeking a dynamic and experienced City Administrator ready to build on the City’s strengths while fostering community trust and organizational excellence. This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned public servant who values the past while bringing a creative, forward-thinking approach to problem-solving and governance.
This is a unique leadership opportunity for an individual who is strategic, collaborative, and solutions-focused, with a passion for public service and community development. The ideal candidate is a strong servant leader who is approachable, visible, and accessible to both staff and the community. Trustworthiness and confidence are key attributes, along with empathy and compassion in decision-making.
Financial acumen is an asset in this role, particularly in long-range planning, budgeting, and outcome-oriented decision-making. The selected candidate will lead the organization in planning for Sedalia’s future, anticipating growth, and ensuring that infrastructure and resources align with the community’s needs.
This position requires a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college with a major in public or municipal administration or the equivalent qualifications and experience in financial administration or public administration, with at least four (4) years of managerial experience in a related field with similar-sized municipalities.
