Career Opportunity: Deputy Village Utility/Clerk-Treasurer

A Legacy Role with Long-Term Stability

The Village of Merrillan is seeking a disciplined, quick-learning professional to fill the role of Deputy Village Utility/Clerk-Treasurer. This position is a key component of our long-term succession plan; we are looking for a candidate who desires a stable, permanent “home” and is eager to undergo extensive mentorship under our current Clerk.

This is not an entry-level “stepping stone” position. We are looking for a dedicated individual who intends to become an integral part of our community’s administration for years to come.

Are You the Right Fit?

To maintain the high standards of our Village office, we are looking for specific traits. Please only apply if you meet the following:

• The “Sponge” Factor: You have a proven track record of learning complex software, state regulations, and financial processes quickly and accurately.
• Meticulous Accuracy: You understand that in municipal finance and utility billing, “close enough” is never enough.
• Long-Term Vision: You are specifically seeking a role that offers the security of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS), excellent insurance, and benefits.
• Professional Integrity: You handle confidential information with absolute discretion and treat every resident with professional courtesy.

The Rewards of the Role

• Unrivaled Security: Enrollment in the WRS Pension Plan and a comprehensive benefits package (Health, Vision, Dental, PTO).
• Consistent Work-Life Balance: A 32-hour work week (Monday–Thursday, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM). Enjoy every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off.
• Professional Growth: Work daily with an experienced mentor to master the complexities of municipal government.
