Chief Transformation Officer

A city of Cowboys and Culture, Fort Worth is known for its Texas hospitality. Stunning and sprawling, the City of Fort Worth is the 13th largest and one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. With great neighborhoods, scenic terrain, and a rich history of arts and culture, paired with world-class opportunities for business and education, it’s not only fun to visit Fort Worth, but it’s also even more rewarding to call it home. Fort Worth truly offers all the benefits and amenities of a bustling metropolitan city while keeping the small-town charm that keeps it unpretentious and charismatic in all the right ways. Designated as one of America’s “Most Livable Communities” by the Partners for Livable Communities, the city truly offers a melting pot of culture, commerce, community, and, yes, cowboys.

The City of Fort Worth is searching for a collaborative and innovative leader with the skills, knowledge, and drive to transform the new FWLab into a strategic, collaborative team that can lead long-range city planning, development, and budgeting with a focus on data-driven and community-supported priorities and goals.

Candidates should be passionate about solving public policy issues, critical thinkers and change agents who are naturally curious and ask lots of questions. Overseeing a department focused on fiscal and other related data analytics to drive decisions and policy-making, they should also understand local government inside and out. Knowledge of municipal budget preparation, financial reporting and administration; methods and techniques of statistical data collection and analysis and translating findings into strategic action; short- and long-term municipal comprehensive planning and their financial impacts on the City; pertinent federal, state, and local laws, codes, and regulations; and program development and administration will all be valuable.

The right fit for this role is data-driven, organized, and solutions-oriented. They are skilled in building strong community and business partnerships, negotiating a broad range of project-related and administrative functions, and bridging operational needs with a fiscal strategy.

This position requires a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in public administration, social or behavioral science, organizational development, or a related field. Candidates should also have eight years of responsible experience in program or project administration and evaluation or organizational learning and performance management, including four years of supervisory experience.
