    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.

    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, and Washington D.C. 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.

    THE OPPORTUNITY | HR&A's Housing Practice is rapidly growing its housing fund and transaction work, which involves helping clients structure funds, develop investment strategies, identify partners, and execute transactions. Over the past three years, HR&A has facilitated the deployment of over $1.5 billion in housing investments from local governments and impact investors across the county. This position will primarily support the design and implementation of affordable housing funds sponsored by local governments and impact investors including Amazon's Housing Equity Fund, as well as structuring individual transactions on behalf of landowners and developers.

    THE PRACTICE | HR&A's Housing Practice works at all levels of the housing ecosystem. We create housing plans and strategies based on local needs and priorities. We design and implement solutions, from inclusionary zoning policies to affordable housing investment funds. We also underwrite and close housing transactions on behalf of public and private sector clients. This range of work, from planning to dealmaking, makes us better at designing policies and local housing plans that achieve their goals in practice and at integrating public incentives into individual projects. We enjoy understanding and working with the complexities of the housing market to advance the interests of all community members.

    THE ROLE | HR&A's Housing Practice is seeking an Analyst to assist with the structuring, underwriting, and closing of loans and investments in mixed-income and affordable housing developments. This role can be based in our Washington, DC or Dallas office. The Analyst will work closely with Partners, Principals, Directors, and analytic staff in the Housing Practice across all of HR&A's offices. Most work will be organized into small teams of three to five members. Teams are comprised of colleagues from across our offices. Day-to-day tasks will include:

    Transaction Management
    • Assist Project Managers with the screening, underwriting, and closing of loans, grants, and investments in mixed-income and affordable housing developments.
    • Evaluate requests for funding according to funders' public policy, social impact, and financial feasibility guidelines. Make recommendations to Project Managers on decision to advance, decline, or negotiate with applicants.
    • Draft screening memos, underwriting memos, and financial models for Project Manager and client review. Conduct market research to evaluate the feasibility of proposed rents and the difference between prevailing market rents and proposed affordable rents.
    • Work with Project Managers, clients, and development teams to optimally structure affordable housing transactions.
    • Conduct initial due diligence, review third-party reports, and analyze business terms in legal documents for review by Senior Analysts and Project Managers.
    • Assist in the closing process by working with project sponsors, lenders, and other stakeholders such as public agencies and subsidy providers.
    Product Development
    • Conduct market research to identify and size gaps in the existing affordable housing finance ecosystem in specific markets.
    • Research innovative housing investment vehicles that enable solutions identified in policy and planning processes.
    • Analyze investment terms that balance clients' financial return thresholds, risk tolerance, and mission investing objectives.
    • Support the negotiation of partnerships with other investors and public sector partners.
    • Evaluate the feasibility of implementing and monitoring new investment vehicles.
    • Organize workshops and outreach events with community, public sector, nonprofit and for-profit investors.
    • Assist with request for proposal processes to select development partners.
    • Support new business development opportunities through writing proposals and outreach to potential clients.
    EXPERIENCE REQUIRED | Successful candidates will bring strong analytical, project management, and relationship management capabilities aligned with the roles and responsibilities described above, including:
    • Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Finance, Planning or another related field.
    • Master's in Real Estate Development (MRED) or a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) a plus.
    • 2+ years of experience in Real Estate Development or Finance, preferably with affordable multifamily underwriting experience.
    • Knowledge of common underwriting practices and procedures.
    • Knowledge of housing and affordable housing related market forces including general real estate principles, supply and demand economics, and other multifamily demand drivers.
    • Proficiency in real estate financial modeling. Experience with affordable housing finance is a plus.
    • Experience synthesizing data and crafting a compelling narrative.
    • Experience presenting to internal senior leadership and external clients.
    HYBRID WORK POLICY | HR&A fosters a collaborative and flexible work environment through our hybrid work policy. Employees work from the office at least two days a week, which allows individuals the freedom to balance their professional and personal lives while maintaining a strong connection to their teams.

    COMPENSATION | The annual base salary range for this position is $81,600 to $93,800, plus the opportunity for a discretionary year-end bonus. Where an offer falls inside the pay range is dependent on experience. We offer competitive compensation packages, based on qualifications and experience.
