APPLY NOW - Director of Economic Development - Austin, TX

Austin’s rapid growth and national reputation as a hub for innovation, culture, and opportunity create a unique environment for the next Director of Economic Development to make a lasting impact. This is a rare chance to lead a high-performing team in one of the country’s most dynamic cities—driving inclusive growth, shaping redevelopment, and building pathways to prosperity for all Austinites.

People in Austin enjoy the wide variety of what the city offers, including restaurants, museums, and nature trails, attending world class arts, culture and sporting events at The University of Texas of Austin, browsing uniquely local retailers and vintage shops, and cheering on Austin FC at Q2 Stadium. Austin is thriving and is fueled by an influx of people and businesses, making Greater Austin one of the country's fastest-growing regions. Austin is currently the 11th largest city in the U.S. and is projected to be the 3rd largest metro in the U.S. by 2100.

Located at the edge of the Texas Hill Country -- rolling terrain of limestone bluffs, springs, rivers, and lakes -- Austin’s climate is ideal for year-round jogging, cycling, hiking on the city’s many trails, or swimming at Barton Springs Pool or one of the area’s many other swimming holes. There are several excellent golf courses in the area, as well as opportunities for rowing, kayaking, canoeing, camping, rock climbing, disc golf, mountain biking, fishing, and more.
