Houston, United States Downtown Houston + Full time

Downtown Houston+ is seeking a full-time administrative professional to support the CHI Engagement Team, which is responsible for Downtown events and programming, marketing and communications, and membership attraction and retention. Reporting to the Director of Engagement, this position directly facilitates the implementation of projects including, without limitation, digital marketing and social media, website management, experiential marketing, public relations, CHI membership events, and other outreach to champion and enhance Downtown Houston as a connected and thriving place for everyone. 

About Us:

Downtown Houston+ (DTH+) consists of the family of organizations that champion and lead urban development in Downtown Houston, including Central Houston Inc. / Central Houston Civic Improvement, the Downtown Redevelopment Authority, and the Houston Downtown Management District.

Downtown Redevelopment Authority / TIRZ #3:
Downtown Redevelopment Authority/TIRZ #3 (DRA) leads capital investments in infrastructure, parks, public realm improvements, and development projects that demonstrate a public benefit (e.g., flood mitigation, housing, historic preservation). The DRA is governed by a City-approved board. Projects are made possible through the reinvestment of incremental property taxes collected within the TIRZ #3 boundaries.

Central Houston, Inc. / Central Houston Civic Improvement:
Founded in 1983, Central Houston, Inc. (CHI) advocates and advances the vision for Houston's urban core. CHI has been behind the diversification of Central Houston's industries, cutting-edge land use, and catalyzed the creation of Houston's big city amenities (e.g., Theater District, Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center, George R Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green, Buffalo Bayou Partnership). Led by a prestigious board of leaders, CHI is a non-profit organization funded by its members. Central Houston Civic Improvement is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable affiliate of Central Houston, Inc. and serves as the fiscal agent for catalyst projects.

Houston Downtown Management District:
In 1996 and prompted by CHI, the Texas legislature created Houston Downtown Management District (HDMD) to beautify and care for the public realm, provide programming and marketing for Houston's urban core, and incentivize economic development. Guided by a diverse board, HDMD is funded through a fair and proportionate assessment on real property.
