Cobb County Government careers

A 1964 act of the Georgia legislature, amended over the decades since, established the five-member board that governs Cobb County today: a Commission Chair elected by the entire county and four commissioners elected by their districts. Day-to-day administration belongs to a county manager, the government's senior appointed official, and the whole operation runs from 100 Cherokee Street in Marietta, the county seat. If you're applying for county work here, the structure is worth knowing: policy comes from the elected board, but the departments you'd actually join report up through the manager's office, while the sheriff, the courts, and the tax commissioner hire on their own elected authority.
