Job Description
Are you a strategic leader who can balance big-picture vision with the day-to-day execution of complex economic development initiatives?

Are you a collaborative professional who thrives in building partnerships across public, private, and regional stakeholders?

Are you a results-driven innovator committed to strengthening economic health, expanding opportunity for all, and enhancing quality of life?

If so, the City of Danville is seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Director of Economic Development and Tourism to lead the City’s efforts to attract investment, support business growth, and drive long-term economic vitality.

This role ensures the City’s economic development and tourism initiatives are aligned to support job creation and retention, build local wealth, and expand the tax base—advancing overall economic health and quality of life. Danville is already gaining national attention—ranked among the Top 10 U.S. cities under 100,000 population for employers looking to locate or expand (Site Selection Magazine)—and this position will play a key role in building on that momentum.

New Development:

Significant and transformative developments are currently unfolding in Danville, specifically in three of its historic districts: the River District, the Schoolfield District, and the North Main District. These developments are not just reshaping the city but also ushering in a new era of growth, entertainment, and economic vitality for Danville. Visit www.danvilleva.gov to learn more about the City of Danville.

About the Organization, Office, and Position:

Danville is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia operating under a council-manager form of government.

Reporting to the Assistant City Manager, the Director leads the Office of Economic Development and Tourism through visionary strategy development, project management, tactical work in industrial development, and empowering the team to execute on the City’s big vision for economic mobility and local revitalization.

The Director manages six direct reports and two related budgets—$1.44 million for economic development and $1.01 million for tourism—ensuring resources are used effectively and aligned with priorities. The next Director will have an active role in advancing redevelopment and site readiness, including public-private partnerships, incentives and financing strategies, and coordination with internal departments and regional partners. This position will also oversee small business and tourism initiatives, support relevant City boards and authorities, and maintain clear communication with the City Manager’s Office on major projects and emerging issues.
