ABOUT THE COMMUNITY
Raleigh is the capital of the state of North Carolina
and the seat of Wake County in the United States. It
is the second-most populous city in North Carolina,
tenth-most populous city in the Southeast, and the
largest city of the Research Triangle metro area.
Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many
oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the
city. The city covers a land area of 147 square miles
with a population of approximately 474,069. It is one
of the fastest growing cities in the country. The City
of Raleigh is named after Sir Walter Raleigh, who
established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day
Dare County.
Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University
(NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle
together with Durham (Duke University and North
Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill
(University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The
Research Triangle Park (RTP) is one of the greatest
technological research parks in the world, with more
than 200 companies and over 50,000 people with
expertise in fields such as biotechnology,
pharmaceuticals, chemicals and environmental
sciences. The name of the Research Triangle (often
shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the
1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP),
located in Durham and Wake counties, among the
three cities and their universities.
Raleigh has something for the entire family. If you
like walking or biking on trails, you will find that the
Raleigh area has 190 miles of greenway trails to
explore. Pullen Park and its 66 acres of land was the
first public park in North Carolina and the fifth oldest
operating amusement park in the United States.

ABOUT NCLM
The North Carolina League of Municipalities (NCLM) is a service and advocacy
organization representing nearly every city and town in North Carolina. For more
than 100 years, NCLM has worked to promote good government and vibrant cities
and towns. We do that by offering non-partisan advocacy, insurance, and a range
of other services. The League truly is a member-driven organization, with those
members deciding advocacy goals, directing internal- and external-facing policies,
and leading service initiatives.
An active, 35-member Board of Directors represents a diverse group of cities and
towns of all sizes, from the mountains to the coast. NCLM members are dedicated
to the idea that, working cooperatively together, we can protect local decisionmaking authority so that residents can pursue their own unique visions of what
their towns and cities can and should be. With that aim in mind, we strive not only
to serve an array of needs of member municipalities, but to bolster local leadership
and empower North Carolina citizens so that they can make their cities and towns
the best that they can be.
SERVICES INCLUDE
As part of the NCLM mission to
promote excellence and efficiency in
municipal government, the League
provides a forum for the exchange of
ideas among municipal officials.
The League consults with members to
assist municipal leaders in addressing
the needs and interests of their citizens.
Our staff support citizens working
together with municipalities and
municipalities working together through
the League.
The League offers consulting services
to its members including legal
assistance, financial and operational
research, and employment policy
guidance.
ABOUT THE POSITION
The Chief ARP Officer will lead the development and implementation of the League¡¯s
American Rescue Plan (ARP)-focused technical assistance effort funded by an
appropriation from the State of North Carolina. Reporting to the Director of
Technical Assistance, this position will have primary responsibility for determining
from League members what types of guidance and assistance are needed from the
League members, hiring a team of employees who will provide this guidance and
assistance directly, overseeing the work of these employees, and ensuring that
these services are being delivered equitably to League members across the state.
The position will work to ensure that cities and towns are both complying with
relevant federal and state requirements, and providing them with the tools they
need to invest their ARP funds in transformational projects where possible. As part
of the League¡¯s guidance and technical assistance efforts, the position will have
primary responsibility for coordinating the League¡¯s work with that of external
technical assistance providers. The position will also facilitate high-level
conversations with external stakeholders to encourage effectiveness and efficiency
through regionalism and innovation.
Within the League, the position will be a leader of the team managing the League¡¯s
ARP-related state appropriations and ensuring full League compliance with all
relevant state and federal regulations.
Since this position is newly created and is in the early stages of development,
flexibility exists with how the position may be structured. This will depend on the
needs of the organization and members served. While there is a position
description noting core duties and responsibilities, this position is the first of its kind
and will require innovative approaches, including: focusing on structured reporting
and auditing of funds; identifying solutions to problems that arise unexpectedly;
creatively seeking best practices in an environment that is rapidly changing with
limited past practices; researching/analyzing regulations, laws, etc., in order to
ensure continuous compliance; as well as looking down the road to anticipate
unintended consequences of decisions, policies and practices being implemented.

successful and effective program that
meets the League¡¯s goals within a short
timeframe. This position requires
building trust with internal and external
partners, including local elected officials,
municipal staff and colleagues with NCLM.
To engage with these diverse groups, a
successful candidate will possess
outstanding communication skills,

and active listening skills. The new
