The Town of Awendaw seeks an accomplished local government leader to guide its daily operations and help shape its next chapter. Situated between the Francis Marion National Forest and Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, north of Mount Pleasant and Charleston, Awendaw offers a compelling opportunity: meaningful public service in a coastal community where professional experience can make a lasting difference.

Working under the direction of Town Council, the Administrator will oversee daily operations, lead a small staff, implement Council policies, and coordinate the town’s professional and regional partners. Priorities include strengthening administrative and financial systems, supporting water service improvements, coordinating planning and land-use efforts, and building productive relationships with residents, businesses, and community organizations.

As growth brings new opportunities and demands, the Mayor and Town Council are pursuing a thoughtful, forward-looking vision—protecting natural resources, preserving rural character, and improving everyday life for the people who call Awendaw home. The next Town Administrator will help translate that vision into practical plans, sound financial decisions, and responsive town services.
