Job Description

Job Summary

The Clark County Treasurer’s Office is seeking a dynamic individual with exceptional organizational, analytical, communication and customer service skills to serve the needs of the elected Treasurer and entire leadership team.

 

The primary role of the Treasurer’s Office is to bill and collect property related taxes. We also serve as the custodian of all funds for the county and its governmental subdivisions. In short, we are the “Bank of the County.” Our mission is to be the locally trusted source for collecting and protecting public funds and our values include superior customer service; inclusion and teamwork; reliability, accuracy, and accountability; and continuous improvement. Successful candidates will share these values and seek to uphold our mission.

 

Plans, coordinates and administers a specific program within a designated department. Assigned programs typically involve heavy administrative components and require a single incumbent to administer. Responsibilities include project/task planning, design, recommendation, implementation and day to day administration of program responsibilities.

 

The Program Assistant is a stand alone job classification. This position has administrative, and often clerical responsibilities within the assigned program, but is distinguished from clerical support positions due to the technical knowledge required for principles and practices utilized on the job, and the discretion and judgment that is exercised to accomplish work objectives.

 

Qualifications

The Program Assistant supports the day-to-day operations of the Treasurer’s Office and reports directly to the Chief Deputy Treasurer. This position regularly interfaces with constituents, elected officials, district leadership, vendors, other county departments, government agencies, and front-line personnel via email, phone, and/or in person. Public relations are a major component of the duties assigned to the role. Specific responsibilities include:

 

  • Coordinating with the elected Treasurer and Chief Deputy Treasurer toward accomplishment of program, divisional and departmental objectives;
  • Assisting leadership team with performance measures and project tracking and preparing reports on program performance;
  • Developing and organizing program materials, quarterly newsletters, public meeting materials, press releases, surveys and annual reports;
  • Researching and analyzing data and recommending procedure modifications;
  • Providing outreach and direct customer service to districts and Clark County citizens by leveraging program knowledge;
  • Assigning work activities, managing officewide program initiatives, monitoring workflows, and reviewing work products;
  • Creating and maintaining website and social media content;
  • Coordinating activities with related programs, departments or agencies and working through controversial issues;
  • Invoicing, contract tracking, purchasing, responding to public disclosure requests, scheduling meetings and training and travel coordination.
