11/2/2023

 
https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/cowashingtonor/jobs/4255745/gis-cartography-supervisor?pagetype=jobOpportunitiesJobs

The Department 
The Department of Assessment & Taxation (A&T) is eager and committed to hiring individuals with a variety of language abilities and multicultural experiences that reflect the many and diverse communities of Washington County, which will strengthen and bring improvements to the work of the department. The differences that unite us reflect the community we serve. If this sounds like an organization that models the values you uphold, we invite you to join our team at Washington County. 
 
The Opportunity 
The GIS/Cartography Supervisor is primarily responsible for supervising and overseeing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) cadastral mapping activities related to property assessment and tax administration.  In addition to creating tax assessor maps, the Cartography Section of A&T is also responsible for processing property ownership changes based on recorded deeds and other documents, updating taxing district boundaries for taxation purposes, maintaining the main situs address repository for the county, and helping the public with mapping and ownership questions.
 
The team reporting to the GIS/Cartography Supervisor consists of seven (7) staff:
  • One (1) Senior GIS Technician
  • Four (4) GIS Technician II's
  • Two (2) Administrative Specialist II's
A GIS Analyst provides technical support for the team but reports to the Division Manager.  

This is currently an in-person opportunity, with the possibility of some hybrid work in the future.
For more information about the Department of Assessment & Taxation, please visit www.washingtoncountyor.gov/at.

The Ideal Candidate
  • Strong leadership skills: We're looking for an experienced leader who knows how to build a cohesive, collaborative team. They can create, communicate, and implement a clear vision for the group and follow through to make that vision a reality. They know how to delegate responsibility within the workgroup and coach employees effectively, getting to know them as individuals and viewing the team through an equity lens. We're looking for an emotionally intelligent leader who can model a balance of getting the work done but having fun while doing it. 
  • Strong communication skills: We're looking for a leader who can build relationships across the organization and beyond through their exceptional verbal and written communication skills. ?They have honed their active listening skills, helping employees feel included and truly heard. 
  • Strong supervisory skills: We're looking for a supervisor who can plan, prioritize, direct, and evaluate the day-to-day operations of the team. They can create process documentation, train staff effectively, then hold them to performance standards, offering encouragement, support, and course correction as necessary.
  • GIS/cadastral mapping experience: We're ideally looking for a GIS professional or someone who has experience creating tax assessor maps. However, the GIS experience does not have to be in an assessor's office, and beyond GIS there's a range of experience that could apply to this position, including land surveying, deed preparation or title company work, or many other fields. A willingness to dive in and learn what we do is key.

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job and that candidate may come from a variety of backgrounds and lived experiences. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role, even if you believe you do not meet all the hiring criteria described above.
