President and CEO
Mohawk Valley EDGE Rome , NY N/A Full Time Senior or executive-level
9/10/2026

ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

Mohawk Valley EDGE is a private, not-for-profit regional economic development organization created through a unique collaboration of public and private sector leaders. Its mission centers on strengthening existing businesses, attracting new industries and talent, and building a vibrant environment for companies and their employees. The organization's work is framed around three core actions-Attract, Assist, and Align.

Headquartered in Rome, New York, Mohawk Valley EDGE is a coordinated economic development organization that assists businesses to locate, grow, and prosper. The organization works across a portfolio of strategic development projects, site readiness initiatives, redevelopment efforts, and business attraction and expansion activities that primarily serve Oneida and Herkimer counties. Mohawk Valley EDGE also supports Fulton, Montgomery, Otsego, and Schoharie Counties as part of the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council.

THE POSITION

Mohawk Valley EDGE seeks an experienced, strategic, and execution-oriented President & Chief Executive Officer to serve as the organization's chief executive and principal economic development leader. The President will lead efforts to strengthen and grow the Mohawk Valley economy through business attraction, business expansion, site development, infrastructure coordination, public-private partnerships, and long-range strategic planning.

This role requires a highly credible leader who can operate effectively at both the strategic and project levels, someone who builds confidence with corporate executives, developers, site selectors, government officials, educational institutions, utilities, and regional stakeholders while ensuring disciplined follow-through on complex initiatives. The President must be both a compelling storyteller and a skilled dealmaker: able to translate the Mohawk Valley's assets into a persuasive investment narrative, and equally able to structure and close complex transactions. This demands an in-depth understanding of the public and private financial pathways-including incentives, grants, project finance, tax credits, and private capital structures-that attract and secure investment to the region. Equally important, the President must be an exceptional internal leader who sets clear direction, communicates with consistency and polish, empowers staff, builds trust, and creates a high-performing, stable organizational culture.

The successful candidate will preserve Mohawk Valley EDGE's core strengths in project execution and public-private collaboration while advancing a forward-looking vision for the organization and the broader Mohawk Valley region.

Reporting Relationship
The President reports directly to the Board of Directors of Mohawk Valley EDGE and works closely with affiliated economic development partners and regional stakeholders.

• Guide real estate development and transaction activity involving leases, sales, development agreements, and project terms associated with business growth and redevelopment.
• Coordinate capital improvement and infrastructure efforts needed to improve site competitiveness and project readiness.

Finance, Incentives & Deal Structuring

• Review and analyze financial statements, underwriting materials, project budgets, and economic impact considerations relevant to major projects and business opportunities.
• Assist in the development of grants, funding applications, and financing strategies involving local, state, federal, and private sources.
• Ensure organizational decisions and development activities are grounded in sound financial analysis, disciplined project evaluation, and measurable results.

Regional & Statewide Coordination
• Maintain strong working knowledge of the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council structure, priorities, and related New York State economic development processes, and use that knowledge to strengthen project competitiveness.
• Work effectively across the full six-county Mohawk Valley region and build productive relationships with county leaders, municipal officials, industrial development agencies, employers, developers, educational institutions, and other regional stakeholders.
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with local, state, and federal agencies and partner organizations to advance major projects and secure supportive resources for development.

Industry Strategy & Regional Strengths
• Advance business attraction, retention, and project development strategies that reflect the Mohawk Valley's established and emerging strengths in advanced manufacturing, agribusiness and food-related production, materials and metals manufacturing, and cyber/information technology.
• Communicate the value of the region's assets-including strategic location, major development sites, academic and research institutions, transportation access, cybersecurity presence, semiconductor-related investments, agribusiness opportunity, and manufacturing capability-to corporate prospects, site selectors, investment partners, and public agencies.
• Collaborate with workforce, education, and training partners to support employer needs and align talent resources with opportunities in the region's priority sectors.

• Dual-Facing Relationship Builder: Maintains and strengthens strong external relationships, networking, and regional representation while matching that external strength with equally intentional internal relationship-building and engagement.
• Institutional Knowledge & Adaptive Operator: Quickly develops, or already possesses, deep understanding of the organization, region, and stakeholders; executes projects effectively while building systems and people capacity, not just delivering personally.
• Culture & Retention Champion: Treats staff engagement, burnout prevention, and talent retention as top strategic priorities; drives visible cultural improvement and operational stability, especially in the critical first 90 days.

Several new and emerging technologies – that are part of Industry 4.0 – are dramatically transforming manufacturing. Additive manufacturing, advanced materials, artificial intelligence, big data, internet of things are just some examples that are making it possible for people and machines to interact more efficiently and improve production processes.
