Wright County's safety initiative is on the hunt for a new leader. The Safe Communities of Wright County announced it's actively in the market for an executive director, a role that promises flexibility with remote work options and a pay ranging between $35 and $40 per hour, according to a recent statement.
The part-time position, clocking in at 20 to 32 hours weekly, isn't just about calling the shots. The organization, dedicated to slashing the rate of traffic-related injuries and deaths throughout the county, is expecting the director to take a hands-on approach to safety education, and prevention, and be the strategic mind behind their operations, and implementation of their core mission. Candidates will be expected to not only have a strong familiarity with core programs and business plans; they're also tasked with fulfilling the intricacies of grant obligations.

Being the face and voice of the organization means juggling the hats of the public relations coordinator and traffic safety advocate in Wright County. The executive director's responsibilities include everything from grant management to strategic planning and program development. Whoever lands the gig will also need to be well-versed in QuickBooks, as they're on the hook for the full spectrum of administrative and financial tasks.
From coordinating facilities and technology to rallying the troops of volunteers, the executive director's job description spans a wide berth. The ability to maintain the group's online presence is key, alongside tech educational class and event organization. The ideal candidate will be someone who's not only self-motivated and fiscally responsible but also a whiz at communication, with a knack for marketing, public relations, and an undying commitment to community safety.
Wright County doesn't just want a candidate; they want a crusader for safety, someone who can stand up and speak at community events, and engage with local government and organizations, all while keeping an eagle eye on the ebb and flow of grant requirements and the pulse of local school activities. If you think you've got what it takes to lead Wright County's charge against traffic tragedies, your shot is here.
