ABOUT THE POSITION

As a testament to significant investment in emergency preparedness, the County of Marin seeks a Director of Emergency Management (Director) to lead the Office of Emergency Management (Office).

The Director will be a strong communicator and eager to build relationships with County staff, community members, and partner agencies/jurisdictions.

The successful candidate will have knowledge of emergency, environmental, flood, and fire hazard prevention, along with strategies to mitigate these hazards. Being an exemplary project manager is important for this role, as is being flexible in the face of change. This is a challenging yet exciting opportunity to shape the functions and goals of this role while also building a team. The Director will serve as a Countywide resource and lead County staff, community partners, and community members to become well-equipped to handle potential threats and high-stakes situations.
