Executive Director
The Ventura Council of Government (VCOG) is looking for its next Executive Director! If you are a dynamic and experienced professional ready to lead under a member board, this is a great opportunity for you. As a strategic thinker, an effective communicator and a collaborative leader, the ideal candidate will have a proven track record in policy areas relevant to VCOG’s work—such as regional planning, homelessness, and Ventura Regional Broadband Initiative (VRBI)—while collaborating effectively with stakeholders and elected officials in a political environment.
In this role, you will serve as the primary point of contact for VCOG’s 11 member agencies, providing guidance and expertise when requested. Your background of working with local and regional agencies, such as Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), will help you lead the VCOG team to accomplishing its goals. A comprehensive understanding of regional issues impacting Ventura County and the SCAG region, as well as a broad familiarity with state-level agencies and Sacramento’s legislative processes, will be highly beneficial.
