The town of Franklin is seeking a sharp, strategic, and community-focused individual to join our team as Deputy Town Administrator.

You’ll manage key projects, lead performance initiatives, attend council and committee meetings, serve on the Emergency Management Team, and act as Town Administrator when needed. We’re looking for someone who brings leadership, financial expertise, and a commitment to public service — along with the ability to solve complex problems and, yes, a great sense of humor.
Preferred: Master’s degree in public administration, business, finance, or related field.
Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree; five to seven years of municipal or public administration experience (including at least 3 years in a leadership role); strong finance/budgeting knowledge; top-notch communication and customer service skills; high ethical standards with a passion for public service and community impact. A great sense of humor is a must!
