The town of Andover is seeking a dynamic and experienced professional to serve as Deputy Town Manager and oversee the town’s administrative and finance functions and drive critical organizational initiatives. Working in close collaboration with the Town Manager, the Deputy Town Manager will serve as Chief of Administration and Finance and will be responsible for leading and coordinating the departments and divisions that comprise the administration and finance functions of the organization.

The Deputy Town Manager will work directly with the Chief People Officer to advance the town’s priorities around organizational development, recruitment and retention efforts, and employee wellness and engagement.
