Progressive, energetic and wise to the pressures of growth - just some of the things the Tauranga City Council wants in a chief executive.
Advertisements have appeared in print and on various job search websites for the city leadership role.
Former Wellington City Council chief executive Garry Poole has held the $356,000-a-year position since February 2013.
His five-year contract was due to end in April.
Last year elected members opted to advertise the role rather than reappoint Poole for another two years.
