Job Description
Description

About the Department
San Mateo County Emergency Management (SMC EM) is not your typical government agency. We operate more like a startup within the public sector, building innovative programs, forging cross-sector partnerships, and redefining what modern emergency management looks like for a county of 775,000 residents across 20 cities and 18 unincorporated areas.

Our mission is to advance community resilience through a proactive and comprehensive approach to emergency management, involving the whole community in every phase of preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.

About the Role
This is not an entry-level role. This is not a position for someone learning the field. This is a role for someone who has already been in the crucible of crisis, learned hard lessons, adapted under pressure, and is eager for more.

The Emergency Coordinator sits at the operational center of SMC EM. You will plan. You will write. You will brief. You will execute. You will move between strategy and the tactical detail of getting things done, across a complex Operational Area of 20 cities, 18 unincorporated communities, and the partners who serve them.

This work requires range. One day you are facilitating a planning cycle that will shape the next twelve months of countywide preparedness. The next, you are translating policy into a one-page brief for a city council, then coordinating an exercise design with fire and law partners, then back at your desk drafting a memo that will move across the Operational Area in 48 hours.

The throughline is judgment. We need someone who can prioritize, pivot, and produce . Someone who has thrived in uncertainty before, and is energized to do more of it here.
What This Role Actually Involves

Planning (Primary Focus)
Planning is the center of gravity for this role . You will lead and contribute to the full planning cycle, from scoping through drafting, coordinating, executing, exercising, and updating operational plans, annexes, and frameworks across the Operational Area. The work means translating federal and state guidance (FEMA, CalOES, SEMS, NIMS) into plans that are usable on a Tuesday and survive a Saturday at 2 a.m. It means coordinating reviews and revisions with internal staff and external partners, building consensus around standards while protecting quality. Asking how could this be better, more practical and more useful in the moment. And it means maintaining a working understanding of the threat and hazard landscape facing San Mateo County, so the plans on the shelf actually reflect the risk on the ground.

Communication and Coordination
You will brief and present to varied audiences on a regular basis and on demand: senior county leadership, elected officials, fire and law chiefs, Operational Area partners, community organizations, and the public. The substance has to hold steady; the delivery has to flex for the room. Alongside the briefing work, you will produce clear, accurate written products on tight timelines: memos, briefings, plans, talking points, after-action reports, and correspondence that moves at the speed of decision-making. You will represent SMC EM credibly in working groups, advisory committees, tabling events, and external meetings at all levels of government, and you will maintain steady, professional communication with partners across all 20 cities and 18 unincorporated communities.

Project Management and Execution
Carry assigned projects from initiation through completion. Own timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder coordination.
Manage multiple concurrent priorities without dropping quality or letting partners go silent.
Identify obstacles early, problem-solve collaboratively, and escalate when needed.
Document the work. Hand off cleanly. Build for the next person.

Exercise, Training, and Operational Readiness
Contribute to the design, development, facilitation, and evaluation of exercises (tabletops, functional, full-scale) aligned with HSEEP standards.
Support training programs for staff, partners, and the broader Operational Area.
Participate in a weekly on-call rotation, maintaining 24-hour readiness and responding to the field or Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during emergencies or disasters.
Participate in after-action reviews and improvement planning. Treat lessons learned as a discipline, not a deliverable.

Who We Are Looking For
The right person for this role has been tested. They have been in crisis situations and knows what it's like to be in a real EOC. They have written a plan that was used and know what it means to adapt in the moment. They have briefed leadership when the picture was unclear and the pressure was high. They have learned that emergency management is less about the binder on the shelf and more about the relationships, the judgment, and the ability to keep moving when the information is incomplete.

We are looking for someone who is technically capable, operationally seasoned, relationally skilled, and intellectually restless.
Mindset and Character
You are crucible-tested . You have been through real incidents, real activations, and/or real high-stakes operations, and you did not just survive them; you took something from them. You are agile, able to shift directions quickly when priorities change without losing your composure or your standards. You bring a growth mindset: insatiably curious, always learning, never satisfied with the way it has always been done. You are comfortable with ambiguity and can operate effectively when the situation is messy, the information is incomplete, and the stakes are high. And you lead with integrity and courage. You speak up when something is wrong, you ask for help when you need it, and you verify before you act.
Knowledge and Experience
Working command of the planning cycle. You have led or contributed substantively to plan development, from scoping through publication and exercise.
