Are you interested in helping our communities thrive? Do you have a background in public administration, public policy, city planning, or local government management? A successful track record of managing challenging projects and having fun doing it? Are you a proactive and resourceful problem-solver and natural multi-tasker? If so, we need you to join Shockey and work with a team of innovative and community-inspired public policy, planning, and public engagement specialists.

ABOUT US

Shockey Consulting Services: We provide award-winning management, planning and public participation services to federal, regional, state, and local governments from our offices in the Kansas City and St. Louis regions. https://shockeyconsulting.com/ Learn more about us here: https://shockeyconsulting.com/our-story/.

ABOUT THE POSITION

You will work in our St. Louis Office managing planning and public engagement projects for city, state and regional planning organizations. Projects touch on many areas: urban planning, transportation, water, financial management, management consulting, and more. This position will report to the Manager of the St. Louis office. This position will be supported by a junior planner/engagement specialist in the St. Louis Office and will collaborate virtually with Shockey’s team of planners, graphic designers, and business support function located in the Kansas City area.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate will have:

· A background in public administration, public policy, planning, or local government and familiarity with municipal planning. Our clients are cities, counties, and state governments so a basic understanding of how they work and the problems they face is necessary. Previous work interacting with elected officials and the public will be an asset.

· Successful project management experience. Much of our work is moving projects along: keeping them on schedule and on budget, coordinating a team effort, troubleshooting as needed, keeping clients happy, and delivering an exceptional product. You will be a working project manager producing deliverables and directing the production of deliverables by others.

· Stellar interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. We are story tellers, sharing our client’s plans with audiences that range from policy experts to skeptical members of the public. We are writing and communicating ideas constantly: fact sheets, technical memos, PowerPoint presentations, final plan documents.

· The ability to have fun while working hard and a super can-do attitude. Our clients need us to bring the energy and expertise to build consensus for plans and drive implementation. Public policy is often messy – we help our clients see a way forward

and celebrate the wins, big and small. Internally, we are willing to wear a lot of hats to get the job done.

· Confidence in managing the unknown and defining work. As consultants, we don’t always have a script. We have to figure out what our clients’ needs are and work with them to find the right solution.

· Curiosity. We love to learn about how the world works and how it could work better. As an organization, we value individual and collective learning and seek to share what we learn with each other, with clients, and with our professional networks.

· An appreciation for the wild and wonderful in public service. It’s a little different every day, people are not always happy, and sometimes the ideas are really “interesting.” Sometimes it’s a little wild, sometimes it all comes together and it’s wonderful.

Responsibilities

· Project management duties including managing planning and production deadlines and budgets, developing and maintaining client relationships, and delegation/oversite of tasks to other consultants

· Providing sound advice and quality deliverables to support client needs

· Review of qualitative/quantitative analysis and synthesis into clear recommendations

· Writing reports, plan documents, and communications materials

· Presenting data and ideas in accessible and creative ways

· Designing and executing public engagement processes that are innovative, inclusive and compelling

· Mentoring and training other Shockey staff

· Contributing to firm’s thought-leadership through activities including presenting at professional conferences and contributing to internal and external publications and forums
