About the role

The City of Syracuse is seeking a Director of Business Development to lead the Division of Business Development and drive economic growth for the City. You will supervise staff, partner with city departments, and coordinate incentives and resources to attract and retain businesses. Responsibilities include strategic planning, project analysis, grant coordination, and representing the city to public officials and stakeholders. Strong communication and analytical skills are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
