Firm Overview | HR&A is an industry-leading consulting firm that provides strategic advisory services for clients in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, focused on solving the most complex challenges facing cities today. We care about improving the quality of urban life, and we are increasingly focused on the challenges of equitable development, inclusivity, infrastructure, and technological innovation in cities as we advance projects that improve social, economic, and environmental outcomes.

We are former public servants, urban planners, economists, and real estate developers. Our projects win awards due to our ability to integrate disparate disciplines for our clients, and we often lead teams with engineers, architects, lawyers, community organizers, and other specialists.

HR&A is proud to be an employee-owned company, and is committed to building a diverse workforce while centering issues of equity and inclusion in the work that we do. In 2020, we convened an Anti-Racism Task Force to lead the development of internal equity initiatives and strategies to more effectively incorporate equity into our client work.

Position Description | We are seeking Analyst candidates for our growing Washington, DC office. Our analytical staff form the foundation of our team-oriented and collaborative structure and help to drive our data-driven approach to city building.

Analysts own the substance of our client work products. Day-to-day tasks range from project to project and often include market analysis; case study research; econometric modeling; community engagement; preparation of real estate pro formas for a range of uses and public-private structures; and public policy analysis. Analysts also help prepare written reports, presentations in PowerPoint, and Excel models for clients, as well as firm marketing materials and proposals for new projects.
The positions provide significant opportunities for growth and diversity within the role as individual project portfolios change. HR&A staff are often generalists but have the opportunity to specialize over time. Many of HR&A's senior staff started as Analysts.

Experience Required | Successful candidates will possess strong skills in both quantitative and qualitative analysis, a passion for urban development and policy, and a deep curiosity about the challenges and opportunities facing cities.

They must possess excellent written and verbal communication skills; proficiency with PowerPoint, Excel, and Word; and the ability to manage multiple assignments at once. Furthermore, candidates should be highly motivated independent thinkers who are detail-oriented, entrepreneurial, and sufficiently poised for client interaction.

The most successful candidates will show a capacity for leadership, the ability to think critically and creatively, and the potential for professional growth. Specific experience required as follows:

Analyst: Candidates should have a Master’s Degree, or a Bachelor’s Degree, with a focus on economics, urban planning, business, public policy, real estate, or other closely related fields, and one to three years of relevant full-time experience.
Compensation | We offer competitive compensation packages, based on qualifications and experience.
