Economic Development Manager information

What is an economic development manager?

Economic Development Managers are professionals responsible for planning and implementing strategies to boost economic growth within a community, city, or region. They work with government agencies, businesses, and other stakeholders to attract new investments, support local businesses, and create jobs. Their role often involves analyzing economic data, coordinating development projects, and promoting the area to potential investors. By fostering a healthy business environment, they help improve the overall quality of life for residents.

What are some common challenges economic development managers face when balancing community needs with business interests?

Economic Development Managers often navigate the complex task of balancing the goals of attracting new businesses and investments with the needs and concerns of the local community. Challenges can include addressing potential impacts on housing, infrastructure, and the environment while ensuring job creation and economic growth. Success in this role relies on strong stakeholder engagement, transparent communication, and creative problem-solving to find solutions that benefit both the community and business partners. Collaboration with local government, business leaders, and residents is essential for developing sustainable, mutually beneficial strategies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an economic development manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Economic Development Manager, you need expertise in economic analysis, project management, and community engagement, typically supported by a degree in economics, urban planning, or public administration. Familiarity with GIS tools, economic modeling software, and grant management systems is often required, along with certifications like CEcD (Certified Economic Developer). Strong networking, negotiation, and communication skills help build effective partnerships and foster stakeholder collaboration. These competencies enable Economic Development Managers to drive sustainable growth, attract investment, and successfully implement development initiatives within communities.

What will your typical day look like?

Pre-sales and pursuit leadership (all tracks):


•    Lead pre-sales solutioning for opportunities in your domain, partnering with account teams to qualify, shape, and win pursuits
•    Support pricing and scoping work, produce proposals and RFP responses, and present solution narratives that connect business problems to technical architecture
•    Own the hand-off into delivery—remain accountable post-sale, oversee mobilization, and ensure delivery teams have the context and guardrails to succeed
•    Consolidate and manage the deal desk/pipeline, capturing opportunity details, resourcing needs, status, value, and timelines; drive weekly pipeline calls focused on progress, risks, and next steps
•    Apply clear labels and governance across pursuits (RFP/pursuit classification, resource counts, owners) and maintain accurate notes that support resourcing and forecasts
•    Collaborate across disciplines (architecture, delivery management, staffing/availability) to align demand and supply and scale through delivery managers

Depending on your technical domain, you will also:

  • Custom development: Architect cloud-native applications across the full technology stack (Java, .NET, Python, Node.js), shaping modernization and product engineering solutions from pursuit through production
  • Integration/middleware: Shape integration strategies and architect middleware solutions (e.g., MuleSoft, Software AG, IBM), leading API, event-driven, and enterprise connectivity engagements
  • Curam: Lead solutioning and delivery of Merative Curam social program management engagements, guiding public sector clients through implementation, customization, and modernization of health and human services platforms
  • DevOps/platform engineering: Architect enterprise automation strategies—infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep), CI/CD, container platforms (Kubernetes, AKS), and GitOps—and lead the delivery teams that implement them
  • AI-enabled delivery: Shape AI-accelerated engineering propositions—LLM/SLM integration, RAG architectures, vector databases, agentic workflows, and AI development tooling (Cursor, Claude Code, Devin)—and embed AI-assisted delivery models into how we sell and execute engagements
  • Azure cloud engineering: Architect solutions across the Azure ecosystem (App Service, Functions, AKS, Container Apps, Service Bus, API Management, Cosmos DB, Entra ID), leading cloud-native and migration engagements from business case through delivery
About the team

Depending on your background, you'll support pursuits and delivery in one or more technical domains: custom development, integration/middleware, Curam (social program management), DevOps/platform engineering, AI-enabled delivery, or Azure cloud engineering. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technology practitioner with strong pre-sales experience who can translate customer needs into implementable architectures and manage teams toward high-quality outcomes.

o    Integration/middleware (MuleSoft, Software AG, IBM, or similar enterprise integration platforms)
o    Curam social program management solutions
o    DevOps/platform engineering (infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, Kubernetes, cloud automation)
o    AI-enabled delivery and software engineering (GenAI, LLMs, RAG, agentic systems, AI-assisted development, GitHub Copilot, AI-powered SDLC acceleration)
o    Azure cloud engineering (Azure PaaS, container services, cloud-native architectures)
•    Proven experience leading custom application development and modernization engagements, including solution shaping, architecture oversight, estimation, delivery planning, and risk management.
•    Demonstrated knowledge of AI-enabled delivery methodologies, leveraging generative AI, intelligent automation, and AI-powered development tools to accelerate development, testing, migration, documentation, and operational processes while maintaining quality and governance.
•    Proven ability to scope, estimate, and price complex technology engagements spanning application development, cloud transformation, integration, and AI-enabled solutions.
•    Track record of owning delivery outcomes for solutions you've helped sell; comfortable operating across pre-sales, solution architecture, client relationship management, and delivery leadership.
•    Excellent executive communication, client-facing storytelling, stakeholder management, and workshop facilitation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate business value, technical strategy, and delivery approaches to both business and technical audiences
Nice to have:
•    Experience across multiple technical domains listed above
•    Experience scaling delivery through delivery teams; strong pipeline governance habits
•    Familiarity with CRM tools; emphasis is on pre-sales, pricing, and delivery integration
•    Certifications relevant to your domain (Azure, AWS, MuleSoft, Kubernetes, Curam, etc.)
