APPLY NOW - City Attorney - Tucson, AZ

The City of Tucson is seeking a seasoned legal strategist and trusted advisor to serve as its next City Attorney – a rare opportunity to shape the future of one of the most culturally rich and community-driven cities in the American Southwest. This is a role for a principled leader who combines sharp legal acumen with a collaborative spirit, and someone who sees the law not as a constraint but as a tool to empower good governance. Reporting directly to the Mayor and Council, the City Attorney will guide complex legal decisions that impact Tucson’s residents, protect its resources, and uphold its values. For those drawn to meaningful public service, bold civic leadership, and the chance to make a lasting impact in a city that celebrates innovation, equity, and cultural heritage, this is more than a job – it’s a calling.

Tucson blends centuries of Hispanic, Native American, and Anglo heritage into a vibrant and authentic cultural landscape that is steeped in cultural history. With more than 4,500 years of inhabitation, Tucson’s ancestral inhabitants – the Tohono O’odham Nation and the Pasqua Yaqui Tribe – continue to have a presence and influence in Tucson. With its population over 40% Latino, Tucson’s culture is enriched through vibrant traditions, culinary excellence, family-centered values, and a deep sense of community that shapes the city’s identity and spirit.

As the 33rd largest city in the country, and the first U.S. city designated a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, Tucson offers exceptional culinary experiences alongside a rich mix of art, music, and outdoor recreation—from hiking and cycling to world-class stargazing. With 330 days of sunshine annually and mountain ranges in every direction, Tucson is a year-round outdoor playground. The Loop, a 131-mile network of paved, shared-use paths, provides safe and scenic routes for walking, running, and biking across the city. Whether you’re drawn to the stunning desert surroundings, the inclusive and caring community, or the city’s forward-thinking approach to public service, Tucson offers an exceptional place to live, work, and lead.
