About the Position
Lane County Government is seeking a strategic and influential relationship-builder to fill the role of Intergovernmental Relations Manager. This position, as part of the Policy Division within County Administration, serves as the principal lobbyist for Lane County and plays a pivotal role in advancing Lane County's interests at the state and federal levels of government. The Intergovernmental Relations Manager works closely with elected and appointed officials, government agency staff, community stakeholders, and advocacy organizations to frame compelling solutions for the critical public policy challenges of the day.

This includes strong ground support and strategic thought partnership. This role contributes significantly to Lane County's presence in Salem, supporting the interests of county elected officials and appointees. Despite operating with limited resources, Lane County aims to set a standard in the realm of local government, striving to be a beacon of innovation and thought leadership on major policy issues in the state.

Studies have shown that women and BIPOC individuals are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they are able to perform every task in the job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. The county will consider any equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
