THE OPPORTUNITY

The City of Sedona offers an exceptional opportunity for an accomplished municipal attorney to serve one of Arizona’s most distinctive and recognizable communities. This is far more than a traditional legal counsel role – it is an opportunity to help shape the future of a city known for its extraordinary natural beauty, engaged residents, and thoughtful approach to growth, sustainability, and quality of life. Working closely with the City Council, City Manager, executive leadership team, and community stakeholders, the next City Attorney will play a pivotal role in advancing the City’s strategic priorities while preserving the qualities that make Sedona a truly special place to live, work, and visit.

Situated in the high southwestern desert under the rim of the Colorado Plateau at an elevation of 4,500 feet, Sedona is blessed with four mild seasons, plenty of sunshine, and clean air. Because of Sedona’s pleasant climate, sightseeing, hiking, mountain biking, golf, tennis, horseback riding, and jeep touring are year-round activities. The City of Sedona’s main attraction is its array of red sandstone formations, which glow brilliant shades of orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun and provide a stunning contrast with the occasional winter snowfall. The red rocks form a popular backdrop for many activities, ranging from spiritual pursuits to hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails.
