The City of Saratoga is in search of a collaborative, service minded, and technically competent municipal finance expert who possesses exceptional operational strengths and leadership to take on the role of Administrative Services Director. The Administrative Services Director is a critical position to the organization responsible for the planning, organizing, managing, and providing administrative direction and oversight for all functions and activities of the Administrative Services Department. The incumbent will also serve as the liaison with the City’s Finance Committee and provide executive-level expertise in finance and accounting.
The Administrative Services Director (ASD) is a management-level, at-will position, appointed by and reporting to the City Manager, and oversees 9.75 full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel across multiple administrative services programs: general department administration, finance, human resources, information technology, workers compensation, risk management, long-term debt service, and non-departmental activities. The ASD provides strategic financial leadership and performs daily tasks in budget development and oversight, accounting, payroll, financial reporting, banking, investments, and debt management.
The ASD incumbent is expected to provide a high degree of executive-level expertise in finance and accounting. We forecast a structural deficit emerging in the next several years due to expenditure inflation and a revenue base that cannot keep up. As such, the organization devotes extensive resources to the budget development process, with the ASD presenting budgetary topics at almost every City Council meeting from January through June.
