Lincoln, Hampshire - Town Manager

The Town of Lincoln, New Hampshire, with a year-round residential population of approx. 1600 and a peak seasonal population of 15,000 is seeking an experienced municipal manager to be its next Town Manager. Lincoln is located along the I‑93 corridor at the foot of New Hampshire’s White Mountains just an hour north of the state’s capital, Concord. The well‑known Kancamagus Highway that traverses the White Mountain National Forest begins/ends in Lincoln.

Bachelor’s degree in public administration or related field, and seven or more years of progressively responsible experience in municipal management preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant management experience.
