Executive Search Services for Position of Town Administrator

The Town of Paonia, Colorado, is seeking executive search services to recruit a new Town Administrator. The agency needs a partner to collaborate with town staff, the mayor, and the board of trustees to refine the job description, establish a proposed salary range, determine benefits, and identify town goals to build a candidate profile. To ensure community alignment, the selected vendor must organize and facilitate a meeting with local residents, businesses, and organizations to further refine this profile. The scope of work requires the creation of an agreed-upon candidate recruitment profile, a formal position application, and a recruitment brochure. The chosen partner must also develop a structured application process and a recruitment timeline based on weekly milestones. The agency is establishing a contract period of four years to cover these services. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations. The agency allows the selected vendor to perform all work offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal, though the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is openly looking for proposals. The agency requires all clarifying questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than July 20, 2026.
