About the Role
Reporting to the Manager of Planning & Development, you'll lead and coordinate initiatives that support business attraction, business retention, investment, entrepreneurship, and community growth. This is a collaborative role that works across municipal departments, alongside local businesses, regional partners, developers, government agencies, and community organizations. You'll also support the Town's Economic Development Committee and play an important role in implementing Council's economic development priorities.
What You'll Bring
· Post-secondary education in Economic Development, Business Administration, Commerce, Economics, Marketing, Planning, or a related discipline.

· Experience working with businesses, investors, developers, or community
organizations.
· Grant writing and project management experience.
· Knowledge of municipal planning, development processes, and provincial funding programs.
· Experience working with immigration, workforce attraction, or business support initiatives.
· Incident Command System (ICS) training is an asset (training can be provided).
