Compensation will be dependent on qualifications and experience. The City’s pay plan identifies a range of $124,059 to $193,843 for the position. The anticipated hiring range is in the mid-$150,000’s. The successful candidate will be offered a generous benefit package including participation in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS), health insurance coverage, paid time off, professional membership and development, and other benefits as identified in a negotiated employment agreement.
