This is an opportunity to work as a generalist across sectors while deepening your passion for and expertise in data analytics, real estate strategy, economic development, public policy, and implementation strategy.
Project Types: You will play a key role in delivering work that spans from comprehensive planning, to neighborhood revitalization and corridor strategies, to open space funding models, business district growth strategies, and workforce planning. Your insights will help shape catalytic projects, actionable implementation plans, and community-centered policy solutions.
