Ever wanted to build a Economic Development District (EDD) from the ground-up and operate it in your leadership style? The Northwest NM Council of Governments is looking to hire an EDD Manager, who will be able to build their team, institute leadership, and build from strong budget, downtown office space, and other organizational assets in the heart of the Four Corners. Even wanted to get anyway from large cities and an intense corporate environment, this job may be what you are looking for.

Qualifications:
  • The COG is looking for an experienced professional to take on the role of Regional Economic Program Manager, with specific assignment to serve as Program Manager for the Northwest New Mexico Economic Development District (NWEDD) and its work program.

An overview of the primary responsibilities are outlined in our work program. 
  • The Regional Economic Development Program Manager will need to be a self-starter, as well as a good teammate, and should be proactive in managing the assigned work programs. Beyond the EDD focus, the Program Manager may also be assigned to manage our Revolving Loan Fund program and participate in other projects and programs of the COG organization, as needed and feasible, and particularly where integration of economic development issues into other plans is called for. 


Responsibilities:
