Help identify challenges before they arise, collaborate in creative problem-solving with our forward-thinking teams, and work on government-wide initiatives led by OTO and designed to make Commonwealth government more business-friendly.

Specific duties include:

• Project management, engaging with stakeholders to answer questions, tracking permitting progress, and collaborating with project sponsors.

• Assisting with broader OTO priorities including small diverse business procurement.

• Supporting the implementation of the Commonwealth’s Economic Development Strategy.

• Marketing the Commonwealth as a great place to do business by providing high-level guidance and assistance to companies considering locating in Pennsylvania.
