The Position:
Summit Search Group has been engaged by the RM of Stanley, Manitoba on the recruitment of their next Chief Administrative Officer. The RM of Stanley was incorporated in 1890 and includes many small, unincorporated Urban Centres and surrounds the Incorporated City of Morden and City of Winkler. The community base of Stanley is as varied as its landscape and its people. Much of the area is agriculturally based, but Stanley is also home to several industry, business, and government organizations.
Crops grown by farmers in the area vary from potatoes, onions, corn, and beans, to canola, cereal grains, and sunflowers. On the hills above the Pembina Escarpment, numerous cattle pastures are interspersed among the grain and oilseed fields. This strong agricultural presence has led to the development of several agricultural sales and service centers along the four-lane highway between Morden and Winkler. Rich deposits of gravel and shale above the escarpment drive a strong industry based in aggregate mining.
Reporting to Council, the Chief Administrative Officer is the administrative Head of the Municipality, and as such has responsibilities for the overall operations. This includes providing corporate leadership for the general management and stewardship of the municipality. The CAO works with elected officials, residents, community organizations, industry, agencies, neighbouring municipalities, and other stakeholders to advance the strategic priorities of the municipality.
The successful candidate will be required to review policies, practices, and procedures, recruitment, retention, and direction of staff. Coaching staff through performance evaluations, and ensure staff are delivering on core responsibilities.
Key Responsibilities include:
