Planning Director

Shape the Future of One of America's Most Iconic Coastal Communities

Hilton Head Island is seeking a visionary, strategic leader to serve as its next Planning Director — a pivotal executive role at the heart of one of the Southeast's most beloved destinations. With a thriving community, sensitive coastal environment, and ambitious plans for the future, this is a career-defining opportunity for an experienced planning professional ready to lead with purpose.

POSITION DETAILS

Department: Planning | Salary Range: $160,000 – $175,000 | Reports To: Deputy Town Manager | FLSA Status: Exempt

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor's in Urban Planning, Public Admin, Architecture, or related field (Master's preferred) | 10+ years of planning experience, with 7+ years in senior leadership | Coastal or tourism-driven municipality experience a plus | AICP Certification preferred

What You'll Do

Lead and execute strategic direction for all planning and development services — from long-range visioning and zoning policy to housing strategy and natural resource protection.
Serve as the Land Management Ordinance (LMO) Official and represent the department before Town Council, Planning Commission, Design Review Board, and regional/state/federal partners.
Drive the Town's Comprehensive Plan, Workforce Housing Framework, and Council goals from concept to implementation.
Mentor and develop a high-performing team including the Assistant Planning Director, Community Planning Manager, and Chief Housing Officer.

Champion community engagement and serve as a trusted bridge between residents, developers, elected officials, and partner organizations.

Who You Are

A proven executive with deep expertise in urban planning, land use policy, zoning, and community development.
A collaborative leader who thrives on building consensus, navigating politically sensitive issues, and forging lasting partnerships.
A skilled communicator with executive presence — equally comfortable presenting data to Council as you are listening at a neighborhood meeting.
A data-driven strategist with command of GIS tools, spatial analysis, and evidence-based decision-making.
A champion of smart growth, climate resilience, hazard mitigation, and equitable housing solutions.
