About City of Culver City
What is the City of Culver City?
The City of Culver City is the municipal government of Culver City, the Westside Los Angeles County city of about 40,000 best known as a screen-industry hub (Sony Pictures, Apple TV+ and HBO all base productions there). Incorporated in 1917, it is unusually full-service for its size: ~900 employees run its own bus network (Culver CityBus), police and fire departments, public works, community development, cultural affairs, finance and IT.
Where will I work?
Culver City City Hall on Culver Boulevard — which closes on alternating Fridays: the city works a 9/80 schedule, and the building's published closure calendar reflects it. Civic roles work eight 9-hour days plus one 8-hour day per fortnight, with every other Friday off.
What is the Culver City team like?
A professional municipal workforce with an unusually broad role mix for a small city — current postings include a Chief Information Officer leading a 22-person IT department across three divisions (Graphic Services, Public Safety Technology, and Systems & Network Infrastructure) and human-resources roles in risk management. We list Culver City's civilian professional positions; sworn police/fire and transit-operations roles run separate duty schedules and are excluded from our feed.
Work-Life Balance
The alternating-Friday closure makes the 9/80 structural rather than negotiated — the building itself keeps the schedule honest. Packages are senior-friendly too: the current CIO advert details a "generous benefits package" led by the CalPERS defined-benefit pension — "2%@60 for Classic members and 2%@62 for new members" — coordinated with Social Security (the city participates in both), plus a choice of health, dental and vision plans.
