Entry-Level / Paid Training / Certification Included Village of Jemez Springs, New Mexico • Full-Time • $20.00–$22.00/hour DOE • PERA Pension

The Deputy Clerk supports day-to-day Village administration and trains toward the Village Clerk/Finance Director role. This is a full-time, entry-level position, and we hire on aptitude rather than experience. Over your first year you'll train in municipal finance, grants, human resources, and public records, and the Village will cover the cost of certifying you as a Notary Public and Chief Procurement Officer.

What you'll do: Working directly with the Mayor, you'll support Village projects and day-to-day administration. That means helping with grant applications, compliance, and reporting, keeping Village operations aligned with the Open Meetings Act, the Inspection of Public Records Act, and the New Mexico Procurement Code, and tracking internal items like property inventory and vendor documentation. You'll also help manage official records and support and document public meetings.

What we'll train you in (no prior experience required): We expect to teach most of this on the job.

  • Municipal financial management, including fund accounting, bank reconciliation, and budget preparation
  • Human resource administration, payroll processing, and state and federal reporting
  • Records management and public-meeting documentation
  • Notary Public and Chief Procurement Officer certification, completed in your first year (or as soon as the state schedule allows) and paid for by the Village

What we're looking for: Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, clear writing and speaking, and a willingness to learn. If you can read carefully and follow a rule once you've been shown it, you can learn to apply state statutes and local regulations, and we'll show you. Comfort working as part of a very small team matters more here than any single credential.

Schedule and location: Full-time, non-exempt, approx. 40 hours per week during regular office hours, with occasional evenings for Board of Trustees meetings.

Pay and benefits: $20.00 to $22.00 per hour depending on experience, plus a PERA (Public Employees Retirement Association) pension, health insurance, and paid holidays.

How to apply: Submit a résumé and cover letter through the Village's online application form at https://www.jemezsprings-nm.gov/job-openings/. Questions can go to Heather Gutierrez at heather.gutierrez@jemezsprings-nm.gov. Open until filled.
