The posting

Missouri City, a diverse community southwest of Houston, is seeking a Development leader who will turn a coordinated vision for growth into reality across Fort Bend and Harris Counties. The City seeks an approachable leader who pairs sound planning judgment with predictable service, consistent standards, and staff development.

Reporting to the City Manager’s Office, the Director leads planning and zoning, permits and inspections, and community development functions. Missouri City operates under a council-manager government with a seven-member Council and an adopted fiscal 2027 citywide budget of approximately $305.9 million.

The next Director will help implement the updated Comprehensive Plan, align ordinances and staff practices with adopted policy, and support quality growth and reinvestment. Priorities include improving the application-to-completion process, coordinating reviews across departments, building on permitting technology gains, and coaching division leaders. The Director works closely with the Planning and Zoning Commission, Zoning Board of Adjustment, and City Council.

The ideal candidate brings emotional intelligence, humility, calm judgment, and a record of process improvement and execution through a team. Experience with redevelopment, master-planned communities, and residential and commercial development is valued. The Director will explain complex requirements clearly, resolve competing interests constructively, and earn trust with residents, applicants, colleagues, and elected officials through consistent decisions and follow-through.

The City may consider an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience. The salary range is $122,000 – $187,000, DOQ.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
