Senior Analysts will review and present client deliverables, including memos, reports and PowerPoint presentations; and will support the firm’s business development efforts.

Analysts also help prepare marketing materials, proposals, and client deliverables in the form of written reports, memos, PowerPoint presentations, and Excel models. 

 

Experience Required | Successful candidates for both positions will have a minimum of 1-2 years of experience working in the affordable housing industry. This might include working for an affordable housing developer, administering housing programs for a housing department or housing authority, delivering housing services for a community development corporation, or acting as a consultant for local or federal housing programs.
