Description

FIRM OVERVIEW | HR&A Advisors, Inc. (HR&A) is an industry-leading real estate, economic development, and public policy consulting firm. We provide strategic advisory services for some of the most complex mixed-use, neighborhood, downtown, campus, and regional development projects across North America and abroad for clients in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Whether we are exploring the hidden potential of an abandoned industrial waterfront, advancing housing policies to address the nation’s affordability crisis, or illustrating the economic benefits of open space redevelopment, HR&A creates value by providing innovative and creative solutions to the complex challenges of economic development and real estate in urban environments.

POSITION DESCRIPTION | HR&A seeks full-time Summer Analyst Fellows for 10 to 12 weeks to start in May or June in our Washington DC, Raleigh, and Atlanta offices. Fellows are asked to take on responsibilities in line with those of the core analytical staff at HR&A. Tasks may include market research, case study research, economic and financial analyses, and public policy analysis, as well as preparation of marketing materials, proposals, and client deliverables in the form of written reports and memos, PowerPoint presentations and Excel models. The role will support projects located across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions and in markets across the country. Indicative projects include conducting a market analysis for commercial revitalization strategy in Washington DC, assessing the housing supply and future housing needs on behalf of a major southeast city, or creating a development plan and analyzing the financial feasibility of a transit-oriented development project in Northern Virginia.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED | Successful Analyst Fellows 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 potential for professional growth. HR&A is seeking candidates who have completed their Bachelor’s Degree and are working towards completion of a Master’s Degree, with a focus on urban planning, business, public policy, economics, real estate, or other closely related field. Additional relevant full-time work experience is preferred.

COMPENSATION | Fellows will be paid a stipend based on experience and qualifications.
