The City of Elk Grove Office of Economic Development (operating under the brand name "Invest Elk Grove") is seeking a highly qualified economic development professional to join its team. The Office of Economic Development is responsible for planning and directing all aspects of the city's economic development programs and activities. Our mission is to cultivate economic opportunity for businesses and residents through the implementation of projects and programs that sustain and grow the economy. This position will play a critical role in furthering that mission.

The ideal candidate will have a particular interest in local government who wants to make a difference in the Elk Grove community. While some local government professional or internship experience is preferable, Economic Development experience is even better.

What you bring to this role:
You have a growing understanding of economic development and its real-world applications. You believe that government should be practical, efficient, and innovative. You are passionate about Elk Grove and public service and believe that strong economies make strong communities. You are a solutions-oriented generalist who tackles any task, big or small, with a can-do attitude and an always improving mindset. You are thoughtful, articulate, professional, innovative, ethical, outgoing, and confident. You are an effective brand ambassador, storyteller, and supporter who is comfortable representing the City in public. You work well in a small, close-knit team environment but you aren't afraid of taking center stage either. You are apolitical but politically astute. If this is you, consider joining one of the most innovative and forward-thinking economic development departments in California and start or accelerate your career with us.

The Department will be creating an eligibility list which will be used to fill one vacancy at either the Economic Development Analyst I or level II. Placement will be made dependent upon the qualifications of the candidate.
