About the role

The City of Columbia is seeking a skilled municipal attorney and manager to serve as its next City Counselor—a proactive problem-solver who leads with collaboration. Required qualifications include a Juris Doctorate, nine or more years of local government or public-sector law, active Missouri Bar, and a valid driver's license; residency within city limits is preferred but not required.

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.
