This extraordinarily attractive Gulf Coast community has a fast-growing permanent population of more than 9,750, a seasonal population of 60,000 and a seasonal weekend population which frequently exceeds 100,000. Gulf Shores hosts more than five million tourists annually.

The City of Gulf Shores is a strong mayor/council government which functions much like a mayor/council/administrator government. The Mayor, with the approval of Council, appoints a City Administrator to oversee and manage municipal operations. The City Council consists of five members.

The City Administrator is responsible to the Mayor and Council to oversee and manage the following functions: Finance & Administrative Services, Recreation & Cultural Affairs, Public Works, Planning & Zoning, Building, Police, Fire/EMS and Court. With a general fund budget of $30,291,851 and 214 full-time City employees, Gulf Shores functions like many cities with populations of 20,000 or more. For more information, please visit the City’s website at www.cityofgulfshores.org. Requirements include the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree in public administration combined with at least five years experience as a local government manager or full range assistant in a full service community comparable to Gulf Shores. Prefer experience with rapid growth, a coastal community, a tourism-based economy and disaster relief. Must have high energy and clearly possess and apply superior management, financial and leadership knowledge, skill, ability and commitment.
