About the job

Economic Development Director
Location: Miami-Dade County

The Role
We are seeking a high-caliber Economic Development Director to join a progressive leadership team in Miami-Dade. This is an opportunity for a "diagnostic" leader to spearhead community-wide growth, managing everything from capital-access programs for local businesses to high-level infrastructure investment.

Core Impact Areas
  • Strategic Growth: Design and monitor comprehensive economic strategies that align with long-term master plans.
  • Investment & Revitalization: Lead major corridor improvements and public-private partnerships to attract sustainable investment.
  • Business Advocacy: Act as the primary high-touch liaison for developers, investors, and local entrepreneurs.
  • Innovation Pipelines: Drive technology-focused initiatives and foster partnerships with regional universities and trade schools.
  • Fiscal Oversight: Identify and secure federal and state funding while managing departmental budgets and staff.

 

Required Qualifications

  • Experience: Minimum 7 years of progressively responsible experience in economic development, urban planning, or redevelopment.
  • Leadership: At least 5 years of experience in a supervisory or management role.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Public Administration, Urban Planning, Business, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
  • Technical Skills: Deep understanding of financing mechanisms, grant management, and public-private partnership (P3) structures.
  • Credentials: A valid Florida Driver’s License is required; CEcD certification is highly valued.

 

Why This Position?
This role is designed for a high-touch strategist who wants to see their work reflected in the physical and economic growth of a vibrant community. Beyond traditional administrative oversight, you will be the primary driver of public-private partnerships and large-scale revitalization. You will lead a dedicated team and manage significant resources to foster an ecosystem where local entrepreneurship and global investment intersect.
