    ABOUT US |  At HR&A, we are problem solvers for cities.

    THE PRACTICE |  HR&A’s Housing Practice works at all levels of the housing ecosystem, from ideating statewide plans to supporting individual housing projects. Our practice spans 3 main areas: plans, policies, and transactions. 

    Plans: We create housing plans and strategies based on local needs and priorities. Most recently, we’ve created a housing plan that tackles affordability and climate resilience for Houston and Harris County and a regional strategy that responds to displacement challenges in Atlanta.  

    Policies: We design and implement solutions, from inclusionary zoning policies to anti-displacement programs. We have studied the feasibility of office to residential conversions in Boston, social housing development in California, and rent control in New York. 

    Transactions: We helped craft Amazon's Housing Fund, a $3.6 billion commitment to preserve existing housing and create inclusive developments through below-market loans and grants, and continue to serve as one of its underwriting partners. We also launched the $150 million Central New York Housing Fund, supporting over 2,500 new homes in the Syracuse region.

    Has worked in or closely alongside government agencies administering federal funding, and knows the difference between paper compliance and operational compliance 

    Can read a policy notice, assess its implications for an active program, and turn that analysis into concrete action steps for a client 

    Brings rigorous attention to detail and documentation, understanding that in federal grant administration, if it isn't written down, it didn't happen 

    Is comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously and communicating clearly with both technical staff and senior government officials 

    Senior Analysts are mid-level professionals with at least 4–6 years of experience who own the analytical core of the work, help direct junior staff, and bring rigor and creativity in equal measure.  

    DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES MAY INCLUDE:

    Supporting the design and maintenance of compliance tracking systems, desk audit protocols, and reporting review workflows that state client staff will use to manage their subgrantee portfolios 

    Reviewing subgrantee submissions (progress reports, attestations, cost documentation, construction records) and drafting findings memos that give clients a clear, defensible basis for certification decisions 

    Monitoring NTIA policy notices, Treasury guidance updates, and amendments, and translating their implications into actionable updates to client contracts, procedures, and monitoring systems 

    Supporting the development and administration of Master Subgrant Agreement templates, including flow-down clause drafting, enforcement mechanism design, and ongoing version control 

    Maintaining audit-ready administrative records for each project , including organizing change management documentation  that can withstand review audit 

    Contributing to project management and client communication, including weekly update preparation, meeting facilitation, and master schedule maintenance 

    Supporting or leading portions of business development, including proposal writing for compliance-related engagements 

    EXPERIENCE REQUIRED 

    We are looking for candidates with a strong grasp of federal grant compliance requirements, demonstrated experience in program administration or government advisory work, and the precision and judgment to build documentation systems that hold up under scrutiny. Competitive candidates will bring: 

    At least 4–6 years of professional experience in federal grant administration, program compliance, public policy, or a related field 

    Working knowledge of 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance), including subrecipient monitoring requirements, allowable cost frameworks, audit requirements, and internal control standards 

    Familiarity with federal grant programs either from inside a federal agency, a state broadband office, or an advisory role 

    Demonstrated ability to manage detailed documentation processes with precision and build administrative records that are structured for long-term audit defensibility 

    Strong written communication skills, comfortable drafting findings memos, policy summaries, compliance assessments, and client-facing deliverables for government audiences 

    Proven ability to manage multiple projects and workstreams simultaneously without letting documentation slip 

    Bachelor's degree in public policy, public administration, law, planning, or a related field; Master's degree preferred 

    IDEAL CANDIDATES WILL ALSO HAVE: 

    Direct experience at NTIA, U.S. Department of the Treasury, or a state broadband office, with exposure to BEAD or CPF program implementation 

    Experience drafting or reviewing federal grant agreements, including flow-down clause compliance, financial assurance requirements, and enforcement mechanisms 

    Familiarity with broadband infrastructure technologies and the technical compliance requirements that attach to fiber, fixed wireless, and satellite deployments under federal programs 

    Experience building or managing compliance tracking systems — including Airtable-based program management tools, desk audit checklists, or subgrantee risk assessment frameworks 

    Knowledge of single audit processes under 2 CFR 200 Subpart F, including how to review audit findings for program-level material weakness 

    Experience supporting program closeout, including documentation verification, asset management, and federal reporting 

    HYBRID WORK POLICY 

    HR&A fosters a collaborative and flexible work environment. Employees work from the office at least three days a week, balancing professional and personal needs while staying connected to their teams. 

    COMPENSATION 

    The base salary range for this position is $105,100  to $122,673 plus the opportunity for a discretionary year-end bonus. Where an offer falls within this range depends on experience. 

    We offer competitive compensation packages based on qualifications and experience. As an employee-owned company, you will benefit from the firm’s growth over time through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan. We also provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes coverage of 90–95% of healthcare premiums, dental and vision coverage, and more.

    Job DescriptionJob Description

    ABOUT US |   HR&A Advisors, Inc. (HR&A) is an employee-owned company advising public, private, non-profit, and philanthropic clients on how to increase opportunity and advance quality of life in cities. 

    We believe in creating vital places, building equitable and resilient communities, and improving people’s lives. 

    From Brooklyn to London, Medellin to Hong Kong, we have guided hundreds of clients in transforming real estate and economic development concepts, and public infrastructure, first into actionable plans and then into job-producing, community-strengthening assets. 
    Our clients include real estate owners and investors, hospitals and universities, cultural institutions and philanthropies, community development organizations, and governments. 

    HR&A has offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Raleigh, Washington D.C. and the Bay Area. We come from diverse backgrounds, have a breadth of lived experience, and share a passion for cities. We are former city officials, executive directors, planners, lawyers, architects, and economists. 

    Hear more about the HR&A experience from our staff. 

    Learn more about careers at HR&A on our website here. 

    THE ROLE | HR&A is building a new operational infrastructure to support its transition to a four-studio business line model. At the center of that infrastructure is a growing team of embedded studio operations professionals — people who sit inside each studio and provide dedicated financial, operational, and staffing support to studio leads. The Senior Director of Operations is the person who ensures that model works. This role will sit on our New York City or Washington D.C office.  

    Reporting directly to the Chief Finance and Operations Officer (CFOO), the Senior Director of Operations serves as the operational right hand to the CFOO — directly managing the embedded studio operations team, leading firm-wide operational initiatives, and ensuring that HR&A’s systems, standards, and processes are running at full effectiveness across all studios and offices. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of finance, operations, studio leadership, and firm-wide strategy. 

    The Senior Director of Operations will join HR&A at a pivotal moment. In the near term, this person will carry direct studio operations responsibility across multiple studios while the embedded studio ops team is built out beneath them in phases. As that team grows, the Senior Director will transition from doing to leading — managing a team of studio ops Directors and focusing increasingly on firm-wide strategic initiatives. The ideal candidate is energized by both the hands-on work of building a model from scratch and the longer-term opportunity to lead a high-performing team. The ideal candidate brings operational excellence, financial fluency, and the interpersonal skills to work credibly alongside senior consulting leaders. 

    RESPONSIBILITIES | Responsibilities include but are not limited to: 

    Team Leadership and Management 

    Directly manage, develop, and hold accountable a growing team of embedded studio operations Directors, each responsible for the financial, operational, and staffing health of one or more studios

    Job DescriptionJob Description

    ABOUT US | HR&A Advisors, Inc. (HR&A) is an employee-owned company advising public, private, non-profit, and philanthropic clients on how to increase opportunity and advance quality of life in cities.       

    We believe in creating vital places, building equitable and resilient communities, and improving people’s lives.      

    HR&A is building a new Tech & Society Studio, with a mission to help communities build and use technology to solve problems made worse by technology. Tech & Society builds on more than a decade of work developing and evaluating the impacts of digital infrastructure and tech policies and programs for clients that include state and local governments, universities, philanthropies, community-based organizations, and disruptive tech companies. 

    HR&A has offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Raleigh, Washington D.C. and the Bay Area. We come from diverse backgrounds, have a breadth of lived experience, and share a passion for cities. We are former city officials, executive directors, planners, lawyers, architects, and economists.       

    Hear more about the HR&A experience from our staff.   

    Learn more about careers at HR&A on our website here.    

    THE ROLE | HR&A is seeking to hire a Senior Analyst, Tech & Society in our New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles or San Francisco Bay Area office. As a Senior Analyst in the Technology & Society Studio, you will be a core member of project teams across a portfolio of projects, for which examples include: making the internet work for New York with New York State’s ConnectALL Office, transforming the social service infrastructure of Clark County, Nevada, building capacity in Texas’s digital inclusion ecosystem, supporting technology infrastructure providers in disrupting monopolies, advancing the Public AI movement, and designing and managing multi-million-dollar programs at the intersection of these issues.  

    We're looking for someone who: 

    Understands how, why, and where technology gets built – and for whom it doesn’t - and why its benefits are inequitably distributed across communities 

    Has worked at the intersections where hard problems live and new solutions are needed – of policy and product, industry and community, global infrastructure and community interests  

    Can hold a room with public servants, community stakeholders, technical teams, and business executives, and translate fluently between them 

    Is rigorous enough to produce unimpeachable analysis, entrepreneurial enough to help shape a business, and savvy enough to know when a technology solution is the wrong answer entirely 

    Brings independent judgment to complex, ambiguous problems and isn't waiting to be told what the question is 

    Senior Analysts are mid-level professionals with at least 4–6 years of experience who own the analytical core of the work, help direct junior staff, and bring rigor and creativity in equal measure. We're specifically looking for people who combine policy and planning depth with practical technology literacy and program management capabilities – candidates who can evaluate a proposed regulation or a technology vendor, lead a procurement analysis or evaluate public-private partnership transactions, manage a complex digital equity program or generate a sophisticated economic and fiscal impact analysis, and write a cogent policy brief for an executive, often on the same project. 

    DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES MAY INCLUDE: 

    Quantitative and qualitative analysis, including policy analysis and market research, economic and fiscal impact modeling, and program evaluation 

    Project or program management, including supporting teams implementing public policies 

    Developing written reports, client presentations, and financial models that translate complex analysis for public, private, and civic sector audiences 

    Supporting or leading community engagement processes, including large and small group facilitation, stakeholder interviews, and participatory design 

    Managing workstreams and directing Research Analysts and Analysts on task assignments—including providing training and feedback 

    Contributing to business development through proposal writing and firm marketing materials and events 

    Applying AI tools and emerging analytical methods to accelerate research, modeling, and deliverable production, with sound judgment about when and how to use them, as well as how to address inherent biases 

    EXPERIENCE REQUIRED | We are looking for candidates with strong quantitative and qualitative skills, a genuine curiosity about technology’s role in society, and the drive to produce work that matters. Competitive candidates will bring: 

    At least 4–6 years of professional experience in a relevant field 

    Experience working at the intersection of technology delivery and policy in civic tech, govtech, internet infrastructure, digital services, or a comparable environment 

    Demonstrated ability to assess technical feasibility and communicate tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders 

    Strong written and verbal communication skills - comfortable writing for and presenting to policymakers, community organizations, and executive audiences  

    Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with precision and attention to detail 

    Demonstrated ability to conduct complex data analysis, including financial analysis 

    Proficiency in common AI tools (e.g., LLMs like Claude, ChatGPT, and others) and demonstrated understanding of responsible use, limitations, and independent verification 

    Bachelor’s degree in a related field; Master’s degree preferred 

    IDEAL CANDIDATES WILL ALSO HAVE: 

    Experience working directly with government agencies, technology companies, or tech-oriented nonprofits 

    Experience with software development tools including React, Vercel, Node, Github, and Mapbox 

    GIS or spatial analysis skills 

    Interest in broadband infrastructure, digital inclusion programs, AI governance frameworks, or workforce development policy and programs 

    Experience with program design and management at scale, with a recognition that operationalizing public policy through on-the-ground delivery is often more important than new regulations or budget allocations 

    ATTRIBUTES FOR SUCCESS 

    We seek candidates who: 

    Listen Intently: You proactively seek out and value diverse perspectives from colleagues, clients, and impacted communities. You approach complex problems with humility, knowing that lived experience is data too. 

    Make it Matter: You are motivated by work that drives meaningful progress on challenges you care about. You develop clear plans, aren’t afraid to course-correct, and take pride in delivering actionable, high-quality work. 

    Advance Equity: You continuously examine systems and historical context to identify barriers that affect some more than others. You push to center the most vulnerable and most impacted people in your analysis and recommendations. 

    Choose Kindness: You respect differences in viewpoints, backgrounds, and lived experience. You deliver on commitments, share feedback constructively, and create space for others to bring their whole selves to work. 

    Take a Risk: You are excited by complex projects that require entrepreneurial thinking. You share your opinions and analysis without fear, regardless of tenure, and embrace opportunities to stretch your skills. 

    HYBRID WORK POLICY | HR&A fosters a collaborative and flexible work environment. Employees work from the office at least three days a week, balancing professional and personal needs while staying connected to their teams. 

    COMPENSATION | The base salary range for this position is $105,100–$122,673, plus the opportunity for a discretionary year-end bonus. Where an offer falls within this range depends on experience. 

    We offer competitive compensation packages based on qualifications and experience. As an employee-owned company, you will benefit from the firm’s growth over time through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan. We also provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes coverage of 90–95% of healthcare premiums, dental and vision coverage, and more.

    THE PRACTICE |  The Housing Affordability Practice works at the state and community level to create and preserve homes that meet the needs of the community.

Over the past several years we have launched several affordable housing funds and have facilitated over $300 million annually of impact-oriented debt for our clients and our underwriting is as much about maximizing impact and public good as it is about financial return.
