About the Position
Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection’s Watershed Restoration Division (WRD) advances clean water, resilient communities, and sustainable landscapes. Within WRD, the Stewardship Programs Section leads the County’s RainScapes Program—a green infrastructure initiative that reduces stormwater runoff from private properties, especially in dense urban areas lacking stormwater management. Our flagship RainScapes Rewards Rebate program incentivizes residents and organizations to install conservation landscaping, rain gardens, and other small scale stormwater practices. We also partner with schools and community organizations on demonstration projects, provide contractor trainings, publish public resources and newsletters, offer online and in-person educational programs, and continually work to ensure our program and materials are accessible to a diverse audience.

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is seeking a dynamic and highly skilled Program Manager II with professional experience in the design and installation of small-scale stormwater management or green infrastructure to lead the County’s RainScapes program.  In addition to technical skills, DEP seeks a thoughtful, collaborative leader who can guide a team, manage a dynamic public‑facing program, and adapt to evolving community and regulatory needs. We welcome applicants who are strategic thinkers, strong communicators, relationship-builders, and enthusiastic about leading a program that blends technical review, public engagement, and long-term planning.

The RainScapes Program Manager II will lead a team of planning and program specialists and oversee all aspects of the program—from strategy and outreach to technical reviews and reporting. Beyond reviewing projects and managing workflows, the Program Manager II shapes the long‑term direction of the RainScapes program, leads a multidisciplinary team, builds partnerships across agencies and communities, and ensures the program continues to innovate and remain accessible to all residents.
