Description

Our client is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the newly established City of Dallas Economic Development Corporation. With an initial funding of $7 million, the CEO will play a crucial role in shaping the organization's strategic vision and guiding its operations to promote inclusive economic growth in Dallas. Responsibilities include organizational development, financial oversight, administrative leadership, community outreach, branding, team building, and talent management. The ideal candidate will have 15+ years of leadership experience in economic development, finance, or real estate, with a track record of operational excellence and a commitment to equitable growth.

Dallas, as the ninth-largest city in the nation, is a cultural powerhouse with a diverse population and a thriving business environment. The CEO will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic team to build the Dallas EDC from the ground up, creating a lasting impact on the city's economic landscape. With a focus on quick wins and long-term sustainability, the CEO will be instrumental in leveraging the initial public funding to establish the EDC as a financially independent organization. This role requires a strategic, agile leader with a deep understanding of Dallas' local and regional politics, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and the ability to navigate through ambiguity to drive meaningful outcomes for the city.
