About the role

The City of Sunnyvale is seeking a Senior Planner to join the Policy Planning team. Under direction, you will perform complex current and long-range planning, including zoning, environmental review, and general plan updates. You will prepare reports, maintain maps, and present to the Planning Commission and City Council. You will collaborate across departments on housing element implementation, area plans, and coordination with regional agencies.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
