The Town of Telluride is seeking a Finance Director for this community of 2,500 tucked in a box canyon at an elevation of 8,750 feet in southwest Colorado. The historic town of Telluride is known for its stunning setting, unmatched alpine recreation, charming Victorian architecture, and vibrant small-town atmosphere.  
THE TOWN OF TELLURIDE

Incorporated in 1887, Telluride operates under a Council-Manager form of government with a Town Council consisting of six members and a mayor, all elected for four-year terms. The Town serves a population of about 2,500 across 2.2 square miles with a team of 118 FTEs. Departments include Clerks, Human Resources, Parks & Recreation, Community Services, Finance, Historic Preservation, Planning & Building, Marshal's Department, Legal, and Public Works. The Town's 2025 total budget is $103.3 million, and its bond rating is AA-.    
THE FINANCE DIRECTOR 

Reporting to the Town Manager, the Finance Director is the department head of the Finance Department and a key contributor to the Town's leadership team. Operating with a budget of $906,074 and a team of five FTEs, the Finance Department is responsible for general accounting and financial reporting, budgeting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, sales tax collection, utility billing and collections, cash management, investments, and debt management. Telluride's community swells to over 20,000 during peak tourism seasons, creating complexities typical of much larger, tourism-based economies. The successful Finance Director will manage substantially more challenging and complex financial issues than the town's size might otherwise suggest. 
WHY APPLY

This is an excellent opportunity to advance your career as a municipal finance director for a small, outstanding community in southwestern Colorado. The Town of Telluride is seeking a Finance Director to take the Town's financial operations to the next level. Telluride is an exceptionally well-managed, progressive, and professional community with a dedicated staff committed to public service and to providing an outstanding quality of life for its residents and visitors. This position offers a rare chance to enjoy the unique rewards of remote mountain living in a stunning alpine environment.
