The Town of Drumheller is looking for a capable, motivated finance skilled to lead our day-to-day financial operations as Finance Manager .

Accounting, general ledger, month-end and year-end procedures
Budget coordination, forecasting, variance reporting, and financial analysis

The ideal candidate will bring:

Post-secondary education in accounting, finance, business administration, economics, or a related field
CPA designation (or equivalent); an equivalent combination of advanced municipal finance experience, education, and credentials will be considered




Five years of progressively responsible experience in accounting, budgeting, reporting, audit, and financial systems
At least three years of supervisory or management experience
Municipal or public-sector experience is preferred; NACLAA Level I or II or a recognized public administration program is an asset
Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to balance competing priorities
We are open to the right person, not just the perfect résumé.

We will look seriously at candidates whose potential outweighs their years.
