What are the responsibilities and job description for the Southeast Regional Director position at Wyoming Business Council?
The Southeast Regional Director collaborates with community leaders to create pathways for navigating change and building durable local and regional economies. Using a problem-driven approach, the Southeast Regional Director helps communities uncover root challenges, remove obstacles, and develop the skills, resources, and systems needed to strengthen economic resilience unique to their circumstances. This role works in close collaboration with fellow WBC team members while cultivating and broadening relationships with partners, businesses, and local leaders. Serving as a trusted guide and connector, the Southeast Regional Director inspires progress, nurtures collaboration, and steers communities toward new possibilities.
Who we are:
The Wyoming Business Council focuses on identifying policies or systematic limiting factors that are constraining state and local economies. This is not about short-term wins but rather sustainable opportunities to build resilience: policies, programs, and services designed to unlock long-term, systemic change.
We are a diverse team of people across the entire state of Wyoming, working together to create new opportunities for current and future generations of Wyomingites. By activating our individual purpose and leveraging our strengths, we’re realizing diverse, broad and lasting growth for Wyoming’s present and future.
The Regional Team lives and works in the regions they serve. We know that having a direct connection to what affects a community is best understood by those who experience life in the area similarly. Our Regional team is built to help you work on the right challenge at the right time for the right reasons because we collaborate closely with city, town, county, tribal, and business and industry leaders in the interest of connecting and facilitating the process of accessing WBC programs and services best suited for the community’s unique situation.
Who you are:
As the Southeast Regional Director, you lead with a collaborative spirit, engaging others in inclusive, far-reaching decision-making to advance shared goals. You pair ambition with generosity, sharing your perspective while actively seeking and valuing diverse voices. You thrive in both giving and receiving coaching, sparking ideas with a clear end goal and refining them through continual testing, learning, and adaptation. You excel in navigating challenging conversations, guiding others through moments of tension toward constructive, lasting solutions. Your greatest strengths lie in connecting, advising, and mentoring—helping people approach crossroads with confidence, humility, and clarity.
This position has the flexibility to be located in any of the counties within our Southeast region (Carbon, Albany, Laramie, or Goshen). While WBC does have office space in some locations around the state, it may not be an option where you are located. Applicants are advised to be prepared to work from home and travel frequently.
