Introduction

The Pamunkey Regional Library is seeking an experienced, forward-thinking library leader to serve as Deputy Director and play a key role in the leadership and day-today operations of our regional library system.

Reporting directly to the Library Director, the Deputy Director serves as a senior operational leader for the organization, helping translate strategic direction into action across seven library locations serving Hanover and Goochland Counties and the Town of Ashland. This position is ideal for an experienced public library administrator who understands how to coordinate people, resources, projects, and priorities across a complex organization.

The Deputy Director will work closely with the Library Director in a chief-of-staff-style capacity—anticipating organizational needs, identifying challenges before they escalate, coordinating cross-departmental initiatives, and ensuring leadership priorities move forward. The successful candidate will be a strong systems thinker and problem solver who can take high-level direction and develop clear, actionable plans for implementation.

This role requires a visible, collaborative leader who is comfortable working across library locations, supporting managers and staff, coordinating complex operational workflows, and building strong relationships with community and local government partners. The Deputy Director will help strengthen consistency across the library system while maintaining a strong focus on customer service, staff support, organizational effectiveness, and the evolving needs of the communities we serve.

We are looking for a leader who is resourceful, approachable, and ready to help move the Pamunkey Regional Library forward. For the right candidate, this is an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the operations, services, and future direction of a growing regional public library system.

This position directly oversees PRL's Branch Managers and works closely with them to ensure strong, consistent, and customer focused library services across all seven library locations.

A major focus of this role is supporting Branch Managers as leaders within their locations.

Beyond branch operations, the Deputy Director will coordinate major systemwide projects and initiatives that require collaboration across departments and locations. Working closely with the Library Director and other members of the Library Leadership Team, this position will help turn organizational priorities into actionable plans, coordinate staff and resources, establish timelines, and ensure projects continue moving forward.

The Deputy Director will also play an important role in strengthening public services throughout PRL by evaluating service practices, improving consistency between locations, and helping develop procedures and best practices that support an exceptional customer experience. This position requires someone who can see the larger organizational picture while also understanding the day-to-day realities of operating busy public library locations.

The successful candidate will be a visible, approachable, and solutions-focused leader who enjoys working with people, coordinating complex operations, and helping teams succeed. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can balance daily operational needs with long-term organizational priorities and help move the Pamunkey Regional Library forward.

 Preferences

PRL is seeking a dynamic and highly engaged library professional who brings energy, confidence, and a forward-looking approach to organizational leadership. The ideal candidate is comfortable making decisions, providing clear direction, and serving as a visible presence throughout the library system.

The preferred candidate enjoys building relationships and is equally comfortable working with library staff, local government leaders, community organizations, and members of the public. They are eager to be present in the communities PRL serves, develop new partnerships, represent the Library at meetings and community events, and confidently communicate the value and impact of public library services.

This individual will bring new ideas and a willingness to challenge traditional approaches when opportunities exist to improve services, operations, or the customer experience. They can see opportunities for the future, inspire others around new initiatives, and help move ideas from conversation to implementation.

The successful candidate will be approachable, collaborative, and highly communicative while also being comfortable setting expectations and holding teams accountable.
