Job Summary:

The Manager of Public Safety provides day-to-day operational leadership and systems-driven management for Arrowhead’s Public Safety Team. The role leads people, process, and technology to deliver reliable access control, patrol, incident response, and community engagement while building a culture of accountability, professionalism, and measurable results.

Arrowhead’s operating environment blends a private, gated residential community with resort access, public amenities, and significant seasonal demand. The Manager ensures the team is properly staffed, trained, equipped, and organized to perform consistently across seasons and events, balancing community expectations with practical, outcome‑oriented service delivery.

Role Context

Arrowhead is a high‑value, complex private community with residential neighborhoods, ski access, and shared facilities. Public Safety plays a critical role in access management, emergency response, covenant enforcement, and coordination with local law enforcement and fire agencies. The community’s wildland–urban interface (WUI) setting elevates wildfire as a primary life‑safety risk, with additional seasonal hazards including severe weather and high‑altitude medical events.
