Application Deadline or First Review: 08/01/2025

Welcome to Brevard County! Home of the famed Space Coast, the County is located on the eastern coast of central peninsular Florida less than 55 miles east of Orlando. The County serves as both a destination and launching point for travelers due to the Melbourne Orlando International Airport and Port Canaveral within its boundaries. Its scenic beach views, thriving city sprawls, lush vegetation, friendly neighbors, and rich history make this region an alluring attraction for all.

The Board of County Commissioners is seeking an accomplished professional to work with it as a partner, a supporter and a trusted advisor. The next County Manager will be diligent in keeping them informed and ensuring there are no surprises. Personally, he/she will be someone that people are drawn to – someone who is intelligent, upbeat, friendly, outgoing, organized, and positive. He/she will be politically savvy but not involved.

In terms of specific skills, the individual will have a demonstrated track record of achievement in management, finance, economic emergency management, development and redevelopment. Given that in addition to supporting the Commission, he/she must work with 16 cities, five constitutional officers, four other elected boards and one other appointed official, the best candidate will have demonstrated success in both intra- and inter-governmental relations. The ability to collaborate and build consensus will be critical. The ideal candidate will have a bachelor’s degree in business administration, public administration, public policy or related field and seven to ten years of increasingly responsible experience as a senior-level executive in a large, multifaceted organization. A master’s degree is preferred.

The County is committed to paying the right candidate a fair and competitive salary. Check back here for further updates. The salary will depend on qualifications and experience. The benefits are excellent. To apply, e-mail your cover letter and resume to Recruit43@cb-asso.com by August 1, 2025. Please apply ASAP as resumes will be screened as they arrive.
