Description


ABOUT US | HR&A Advisors is a top real estate, economic development, and public policy consulting firm. We provide strategic advisory services for clients in the public, private, and non-profit sectors to solve some of the most complex challenges of urban development. Our projects range in scale from buildings to neighborhoods, public parks to infrastructure systems, and from program design and management to public policy development and implementation. We care about improving the quality of urban life, and we are increasingly focused on the challenges of inclusivity, infrastructure, and technological innovation in cities as we advance public-private development projects that improve economic, environmental, and social outcomes.

 

We are former public servants, real estate developers, urban planners, city officials, activists, and economists. We are unique in our ability to create value by integrating disparate disciplines for our clients, and we often lead teams with engineers, architects, lawyers, community organizers, and other specialists.

 

Our Washington DC and Raleigh offices are tight-knit teams that collaborate closely with colleagues in HR&A’s other offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas. In addition to providing the full range of real estate and economic development services offered by the firm, HR&A’s Washington DC and Raleigh offices are distinguished by a specialization in advancing the practice of affordable housing, transit-oriented development, urban resilience, and innovation districts and research parks at the local, national, and global scales.

 

THE ROLE | We are seeking Director candidates to join our Washington DC and Raleigh offices. Successful candidates will have relevant project management experience in real estate, economic development, affordable housing, or related consulting fields, must demonstrate critical analytic thinking skills to serve our clients, possess a passion for intelligent urban development and a deep curiosity about the challenges and opportunities facing cities and institutions. Successful candidates will have a passion for housing affordability, community development, and inclusive communities overall, and be able to work with cities, advocates, developers and housing authorities across the country to understand their housing challenges and develop effective solutions.  Day-to-day tasks will require managing internal and external teams to complete complex real estate and economic assignments including pro forma analysis for a range of uses, market feasibility research, business planning, fiscal and economic impact studies, public-private partnership strategy, and public policy design. The Director will review and present client deliverables, including memos, reports and PowerPoint presentations; and will support the firm’s business development efforts. The successful candidate will bring a strong foundation of real estate, economic development, or affordable housing expertise and an interest in creative public-private solutions, as well as significant capacity for leadership.

 

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED | We are looking for candidates with strong quantitative and qualitative skills, a passion for urban development and policy, and a deep curiosity about the challenges and opportunities facing cities today. Candidate should have a minimum of five years of work experience in economic development, real estate, housing, public policy and/or consulting in a related field. Candidates should also have a Master’s Degree, preferably in real estate, city planning, economic development, public policy, and/or business.  Considerable additional experience in a closely-related field may also be substituted for a graduate degree. 

 

In addition to considerable experience in real estate and economic analysis, the candidate must also possess substantial project management experience in real estate, economic development, or affordable housing development or policy; excellent writing and presentation skills; and mentorship capabilities. The candidate should be a highly motivated independent thinker with sufficient poise for direct client interaction. The most successful candidates will show potential for rapid professional growth.

 

COMPENSATION | We offer competitive compensation packages, based on qualifications and experience.  We are an employee-owned company, meaning you will have the opportunity to benefit from the firm’s growth over time through participation in our Employee Stock Options Plan. Each year, the firm will contribute funds to this long-term wealth-building account, and may make contributions to other retirement accounts. We also provide a comprehensive benefits package that goes well beyond coverage of 90-95% of healthcare premiums, dental and vision coverage.
