About the role

City of Seattle is seeking a seasoned Planning Manager to supervise planners, set priorities, train staff, and guide urban development initiatives in a politically complex environment. You will prepare and monitor the team operation budget, develop workplans, and advance equitable policies that serve diverse communities. The role requires four years of planning experience, leadership capabilities, strong communication, and the ability to navigate partnerships with city, county, and state 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.
