The Company is seeking a Deputy Mayor to lead finance, budgeting, public order and safety, fire and disaster protection, and municipal real estate services. The role oversees multiple departments and a large workforce, coordinates and develops municipal structures, and leads efforts to consolidate the budget and restore long-term financial capacity.
