Description of Job

This posting is only open to residents of the State of Colorado at the time of submitting your application.

We want you to share in our excitement over intergenerational stewardship of natural assets and share in our pride of providing significant financial support to Colorado’s public schools. Your work will be a model across the country for massive-scale (2.8 million acres) of land management.

The District Manager is charged with administering all district assets (surface and subsurface) in a manner that optimizes current revenue, ensures that appropriate stewardship practices are followed, and protects the future value of the land and improvements. This position is also responsible for managing all surface use on approximately 424,000-acres of state trust lands in a part of the state where grazing is the predominant agricultural use, oil and gas development is prevalent, water rights are critical to continued agricultural production, recreational use is increasing, competition for the acquisition of large ranch properties is significant, and land values are rapidly rising. The position represents the State Land Board in negotiations with lessees, land owners, and other agencies and develops critical program recommendations for consideration and approval by the Board.

Strategic Business Planning and Development: The District Manager contributes to the development of, and implements, annual business plans that contribute to the achievement of the agency’s mission, strategies, and goals. The position is responsible for achieving specific goals for revenue, revenue growth, and the development of particular lines of business. The District Manager develops and maintains relationships with existing and potential customers in order to build and maintain a stable revenue stream for the organization.

Communication and Outreach: The District Manager represents the agency at meetings with lessees, local and state level elected officials, community organizations, industry and trade associations, and Federal land management agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management and US Fish and Wildlife Service. The position fosters clear and consistent internal communication between the district office, the Filed operations Team Leader, the assistant director, and other agency staff.

Supervision and Personnel Management: The District Manager supervises the District Assistant and District Resource Specialist and also has responsibility for managing outside consultants and/or other agency staff assigned to specific projects in the district. The position establishes employee and consultant work priorities and approves time keeping requests. The position prepares performance plans and conducts performance reviews. The District Manager ensures a positive work environment in the District office and identifies opportunities to collaborate with State Land Board staff in other offices.
