From pristine beaches and natural preserves to historic landmarks and first-class amenities, the community of over 101,500 residents and a regional population of 1.7 million, is among the fastest-growing counties in the country — and it’s no surprise.

The Executive Director is expected to proactively develop effective intergovernmental relationships and perform, plan, schedule, coordinate, monitor, and review interlocal and franchise agreements, and related legislative requirements impacting current and future utility affairs.

The city of Fort Worth is seeking an experienced and visionary leader to serve as our next City Manager. The next City Manager will have the pivotal role of leading one of the fastest-growing large cities in the U.S. with nearly 1,000,000 residents. With a budget of $2.79 billion for Fiscal Year 2025 and 8,214 authorized positions, this role offers the chance to shape the future of a dynamic and rapidly expanding city. About Fort Worth A city of Cowboys and Culture, Fort Worth is known for its Texas hospitality. Exuding both charm and expansiveness, Fort Worth is the 12th largest and one of the fastest-growing big cities in the United States, distinguished as one of the fastest-growing urban centers in the nation. 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 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. Once an essential stop on the legendary cattle drives from Texas to Kansas and home to cattle barons and oil wildcatters, today, this city seamlessly blends its cattle and oil heritage with a vast array of businesses, industries, and entertainment. Known for a commitment to preserving its history, this modern city proudly celebrates the famous Stockyards National Historic District, home to twice-a-day cattle drives, Billy Bob’s Texas - the world’s largest honky-tonk - and Mule Alley, formerly the horse and mule barns used during World War I and now home to restaurants, shops, western heritage brands, and creative workspaces. The city’s downtown includes Sundance Square, a 35-block business and entertainment district featuring architecture from the Victorian, Art Deco, and modern eras. Cultural district boasts world renowned museums, galleries, and public gardens. Major events include the MAIN ST Fort Worth Arts Festival, Mayfest - Fort Worth, and the iconic Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. In fact, Money Magazine once proclaimed that “Fort Worth offers big city arts and entertainment without the attitude or high prices of comparable metros.” The city’s proximity to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, located midway between the two cities, has enticed some of the best-known names in commerce and industry to locate their headquarters in Fort Worth, including American Airlines, BNSF Railway, Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems, and Bell Flight. Transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing are driving factors behind employment in the city and, as Fort Worth has emerged as a popular tourist destination, the hospitality and travel sector has become a significant economic generator. Other significant employers include JPS Health Network, Cook Children’s Health Care System, Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Texas Health Resources, and Alcon, as well as city and county governments and the Fort Worth Independent School District. In addition, the City of Fort Worth has several significant projects underway, including a new city hall and the continued development of Panther Island, a mixed-use development north of downtown. Fort Worth, Texas, has been recognized as a top travel destination for 2024 by Travel + Leisure for its unique blend of modern attractions and rich Western heritage. Beyond its cowboy roots, Fort Worth boasts a vibrant arts scene, cool boutique hotels, and a growing vegan dining culture. Additionally, the city is gaining attention for its booming workforce, earning a spot as one of the best cities for workforce growth, according to CultureMap Dallas. This North Texas gem is quickly rising as both a top place to visit and a hub for career opportunities. Access to health care and education are important quality-of-life factors, and Fort Worth offers an abundance of both. The city lays claim to one of the finest medical communities in Texas, including Cook Children’s Health Care System, Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, UT Southwestern Monty and Tex Moncrief Medical Center, Medical City Fort Worth, JPS Health Network, and the TCU School of Medicine. As to education, Fort Worth’s Texas Christian University (TCU), one of the state’s most prestigious universities, offers more than 100 undergraduate majors in arts and sciences, business, fine arts, communications, education, engineering, and nursing. Texas A&M School of Law, Texas Wesleyan University, and the UNT Health Science Center draw students from around the country and beyond, while Tarrant County College District serves the community across multiple campuses.

The next City Manager will have the pivotal role of leading one of the fastest-growing large cities in the U.S. with nearly 1,000,000 residents. With a budget of $2.79 billion for Fiscal Year 2025 and 8,214 authorized positions, this role offers the chance to shape the future of a dynamic and rapidly expanding city. About Fort Worth A city of Cowboys and Culture, Fort Worth is known for its Texas hospitality. Exuding both charm and expansiveness, Fort Worth is the 12th largest and one of the fastest-growing big cities in the United States, distinguished as one of the fastest-growing urban centers in the nation. 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 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. Once an essential stop on the legendary cattle drives from Texas to Kansas and home to cattle barons and oil wildcatters, today, this city seamlessly blends its cattle and oil heritage with a vast array of businesses, industries, and entertainment. Known for a commitment to preserving its history, this modern city proudly celebrates the famous Stockyards National Historic District, home to twice-a-day cattle drives, Billy Bob’s Texas - the world’s largest honky-tonk - and Mule Alley, formerly the horse and mule barns used during World War I and now home to restaurants, shops, western heritage brands, and creative workspaces. The city’s downtown includes Sundance Square, a 35-block business and entertainment district featuring architecture from the Victorian, Art Deco, and modern eras. Cultural district boasts world renowned museums, galleries, and public gardens. Major events include the MAIN ST Fort Worth Arts Festival, Mayfest - Fort Worth, and the iconic Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. In fact, Money Magazine once proclaimed that “Fort Worth offers big city arts and entertainment without the attitude or high prices of comparable metros.” The city’s proximity to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, located midway between the two cities, has enticed some of the best-known names in commerce and industry to locate their headquarters in Fort Worth, including American Airlines, BNSF Railway, Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems, and Bell Flight. Transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing are driving factors behind employment in the city and, as Fort Worth has emerged as a popular tourist destination, the hospitality and travel sector has become a significant economic generator. Other significant employers include JPS Health Network, Cook Children’s Health Care System, Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Texas Health Resources, and Alcon, as well as city and county governments and the Fort Worth Independent School District. In addition, the City of Fort Worth has several significant projects underway, including a new city hall and the continued development of Panther Island, a mixed-use development north of downtown. Fort Worth, Texas, has been recognized as a top travel destination for 2024 by Travel + Leisure for its unique blend of modern attractions and rich Western heritage. Beyond its cowboy roots, Fort Worth boasts a vibrant arts scene, cool boutique hotels, and a growing vegan dining culture. Additionally, the city is gaining attention for its booming workforce, earning a spot as one of the best cities for workforce growth, according to CultureMap Dallas. This North Texas gem is quickly rising as both a top place to visit and a hub for career opportunities. Access to health care and education are important quality-of-life factors, and Fort Worth offers an abundance of both. The city lays claim to one of the finest medical communities in Texas, including Cook Children’s Health Care System, Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, UT Southwestern Monty and Tex Moncrief Medical Center, Medical City Fort Worth, JPS Health Network, and the TCU School of Medicine. As to education, Fort Worth’s Texas Christian University (TCU), one of the state’s most prestigious universities, offers more than 100 undergraduate majors in arts and sciences, business, fine arts, communications, education, engineering, and nursing.
