Chief Executive Officer Oklahoma City Innovation District

3 months ago

Oklahoma City, United States Mackenzie Eason & Associates Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionOKC Innovation District Chief Executive Officer

Oklahoma City Innovation District
Oklahoma City’s Innovation District is an 832-acre research and technology hub located east of downtown between 4th and 13th street, stretching from Robinson to Lottie avenues. Home to internationally-acclaimed organizations spanning Oklahoma’s diverse sectors – health, energy, aerospace, technology, academia and more – the Innovation District provides opportunities for entrepreneurship, innovation, and community growth. This 1.3-square-mile area encompasses both the Oklahoma Health Center and the vibrant commercial corridor of Automobile Alley. A significant center of job growth, the district reflects the shifting geography of the global economy and the emergence of dense hubs of economic activity where innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, and placemaking intersect.

Plans for the district began in 2016 when the Brookings Institution and the Project for Public Spaces determined the area had potential to become a regional magnet for innovation and economic development, leading local leadership to dive into placemaking the area. What began as a dream to further Oklahoma City’s momentum has become a strategic effort to create a district that serves as a catalyst for the professional industries of Oklahoma as they collaborate and develop new technologies and services while also balancing cultural and historical assets.

From parks to restaurants to research facilities, the Innovation District is focused on creating a vibrant, fully integrated community where people can live, work and play, all while maintaining its dedication to research and collaboration. The efforts of the Innovation District will include creating substantive programming that inspires collaboration across multiple industries, positioning Oklahoma City to be competitive on a global scale.

The Oklahoma City metropolitan area has long-standing industry strengths and assets on which to build a new convergence economy. The region dominates in oil and gas extraction, and it is becoming a global center for advanced energy technology, evidenced by the recent opening of the Harold Hamm Center for American Energy, located in the former General Electric (GE) Global Research Oil & Gas Technology Center. Outside of energy, the region has economic strengths in aerospace engineering, led by Tinker Air Force Base, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, and in health care, driven by the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC), the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), and several private-sector firms, including COARE Biotechnology, Charlesson, and Wheeler Bio.

Over 18,000 people work in the area, which accounts for almost 5 percent of the city's total workforce. Its cluster of medical and research institutions attract three-quarters of the project dollars the state receives from the National Institutes of Health, and its improved commercialization outcome's, coupled with the presence of business support organizations like OKCID, position it to be the region's hub of entrepreneurial activity.

Furthermore, the district's proximity to downtown gives it a powerful locational advantage. Though only about 1,200 people live within the district itself, the neighborhoods to the west and south, such as Bricktown and Deep Deuce, have enjoyed a noticeable uptick in housing values, development, and amenities. The potential offered by the area from a residential living perspective is vast.
The Innovation District received funding from the City of Oklahoma City through the MAPS 4 program for the construction of Innovation Hall. The funding was made available only if it were matched by at least $10 million of funding from non-MAPS sources. Innovation Hall is currently under construction by BT Development as a part of Convergence – a mixed use development that will include office, research, hotel and public places.

Innovation Hall will be completed in January 2025 and the Innovation District has been designated as the operator of the facility by the City. Innovation Hall will be home to a Bio-manufacturing training center, BioTC of Oklahoma. BioTC is funded by a US EDA Build Back Better grant and ARPA funding from the State of Oklahoma. This exciting new development will provide a place to catalyze the innovation assets of the region, train Oklahoma’s growing bio-manufacturing sector and convene stakeholders.

The Position
The President & CEO reports directly to the 13-member Board of Directors. Board members represent the organizations responsible for the creation of OKCID, community leaders and industry representatives. The CEO’s direct reports include the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Programs, and the Director of Communications.

Serving at the will of the Board of Directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) provides leadership, direction and management for all aspects of OKCID activities and is responsible for effectively implementing the strategic initiatives and policies of the board.

The CEO provides counsel to the Board and other groups regarding public policy, programs and other key initiatives and serves as the principal advocate and spokesperson for the Innovation District in conjunction with the board chair. The CEO works closely with a wide range of constituencies throughout the region to build support and coalitions to support the mission and vision of the organization.

The President & CEO will possess a solid understanding of the innovation ecosystem and have the ability to coordinate potential partners around the organization's defined goals and strategies. The President & CEO will create, identify, and lead strategies in which the innovation district's anchor institutions, firms, and civic leaders will rally city and regional stakeholders to engage with their time, expertise, and resources to support the innovation district's vision to create a dynamic, inclusive hub of innovative and entrepreneurial activity. This concentration of innovation and technology assets will propel the region into global prominence within a range of converging technologies, particularly those related to health, energy, and aerospace.

The President & CEO will serve as a conduit between and among institutions to catalyze a shared vision which holds a strong value proposition for each individual partner. Fulfilling this role will require a scientific understanding of the research portfolio and the ability to identify external partners, market opportunities, and funding opportunities.
As the chief executive officer of the organization, the CEO is responsible for a full range of activities to ensure the success of the Innovation District in meeting its goals and objectives.
