The City of Wyoming is seeking applicants for the deputy city manager opening. Applications for the position will be accepted through Dec. 13.

The opening was created when former Deputy City Manager Megan Sall Rydecki left in November to take the community affairs manager for Kent County position for Consumers Energy.

The job posting – available on the City of Wyoming webpage at wyomingmi.gov/jobs – calls for candidates who have strong interpersonal skills and are experienced with public management techniques involved in project management, communications and public relations, and community and employee relations. The position is responsible for developing, overseeing, coordinating, and implementing diverse programs and activities related to business and community growth. It also will work with departments and the community to develop and implement programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“We’re looking for a candidate to help us grow into a better organization that serves our whole community,” City Manager Curtis Holt said. “We want to find the right candidate for this important position. One that will help steer our organization into a more equitable and prosperous future, someone with a passion for community growth and understanding.”

The Human Resources Department and other City leaders will vet candidates through an interview process. The City of Wyoming hopes to have a new deputy city manager in place by February. Interested candidates can apply at wyomingmi.gov/jobs by Dec. 13.
