    El Paso County is seeking an Executive Director of Communications for Colorado’s most populous county. With over 750,000 residents, El Paso County is home to Colorado Springs—the county seat and the state’s second-largest city—and the iconic 14,115-foot Pikes Peak. The county's unique blend of natural beauty, access to both outdoor recreation and metropolitan amenities, and over 280 days of sunshine each year make it one of the most sought-after places to live in Colorado. 

     

    EL PASO COUNTY 

     

    El Paso County serves a population of approximately 750,000 residents across over 2,100 square miles with a team of over 3,000 authorized FTEs. The County is dedicated to fostering a culture of excellence through their core values of being service-focused, collaborative, accountable, trustworthy, and transparent. The County fully embraces its 2025-2029 Strategic Plan initiatives, is service driven, and strives to provide outstanding services while keeping taxes low and limiting government regulations. As El Paso County’s popularity continues to grow, state projections anticipate that the population will grow by roughly one‑third of its current size over the next 25 years.
