Part Time Executives

The municipality needs an executive skill set for a particular function, but can’t justify a permanent full time position. Perhaps it’s a temporary need for a particular skill. Maybe the coverage needed isn’t full-time. Maybe leadership is required for a finite project or transition.

Our experienced Senior Consultants have operations and management experience to help County Administrators and City Managers meet organizational goals and objectives. The part time executive will concentrate on the assignment and provide relief to internal staff to focus on their own key objectives. The community receives new programs without impacting other programs or perhaps earlier than expected.

Using a subcontracted executive is a great way to get executive expertise or bandwidth without risking an expensive hire.

Potential needs for local government part time executives:

  • Policy or procedure development and implementation

  • Community visioning effort

  • Contract and/or ARPA compliance audits

  • Drive strategic plan initiatives

  • Establish and/or measure Key Performance Indicators

  • Prepare variety of documents analyses and reports

  • Synthesize information from numerous sources and make presentations as needed

  • Oversee the development of department or CIP budgets

  • Develops and maintains resource projections for short and long-term needs

  • Collaborate with Department Heads to coordinate, manage and implement a wide variety of special projects and programs

  • Assist with the management of grant programs and correspond with internal and external representatives as needed

  • Supervise and participate in preparation of speeches, correspondence, and news release drafts

  • Conduct fiscal analyses and make recommendations related to local government revenue and taxation issues, and public funding instruments

  • Provide management oversight for Departmental functions

To fill a short term executive need, many municipalities will “load up” on existing staff, perhaps creating a situation where a valued executive has more responsibilities than time to properly manage. It is also possible a great employee is accidentally situated with a role that is beyond the individual’s current leadership capacity. The local government must balance the desire to give opportunities to existing staff and keeping things in house with the actual bandwidth an executive needs to perform at a high level.

The part-time executive will also provide financial flexibility. Unlike a full time hire, the monthly expense can be modulated.
