Somerville (Mass.) Retirement Board is searching for an executive director for the $174 million Somerville Retirement System, according to a job posting on the Massachusetts Public Employee Retirement Administration's website.
The position is new and was recommended in a management report completed for the board in February by the Abrahams Group, a government management consulting firm. The board approved the new position as well as the report's recommendations to create a deputy executive director and administrative assistant positions. The selected executive director will help choose who will fill those positions, according to the posting.

Current staff includes the executive secretary to the board, systems accountant, head clerk and principal clerk.
Resumes and cover letters should be sent by e-mail to [email protected] with SRB_ED appearing in the subject line. Submissions will be accepted until May 15. Mary Vetrano, spokeswoman for the retirement board, could not say when a selection would be made.
