Full-Time Job Expires April 1, 2021

Karp Strategies is an urban planning strategy consulting firm that builds stronger

communities and thriving cities. We partner with our cross-sector clients to identify their

unique needs and provide tailored solutions. We take analysis to action to allow our

clients to make better decisions – and ultimately, to build stronger communities,

economies, and cities. We deeply value our holistic analytic methods, and maintain strong

core values around equity, access, and community engagement when working on

planning and development projects. We work on projects around the country, with

projects currently underway or starting across the NYC region, and New England. Our

team works at the sweet spot where data, people, and place intersect: we strive to

understand what drives change in places, and how people, businesses, and institutions

exist and can thrive within that change. We value and celebrate diversity and inclusion in

our team, and we share a commitment to social, racial, and economic justice.

Karp Strategies celebrated five years in June 2020, and we’ve grown tremendously since

inception from a one person to a team of 15. Due to COVID-19, we are working remotely

with the hopes of returning to our offices in Manhattan’s Financial District by the end of

2021. This position is anticipated to be remote in the NYC area, with access to tools to

ensure great remote work, and could change to in-office in 2021 if safety and health

circumstances change. There may be a need for in-person visits or on-the-ground

outreach/engagement to facilitate project work, which will follow safety and social

distancing protocols.

With current projects ranging from economic and community development planning

initiatives to stakeholder analysis and engagement, from infrastructure feasibility and

resiliency studies to real estate advisory, Karp Strategies is working with many of the

industry’s most dynamic partner firms and clients on pressing, timely challenges facing

the country, region, and our city. Karp Strategies is active in the field: our team members

are involved with APA-NY’s Urban Design and Diversity Committees, WRISE, ABNY, IEDC,

NYBC, CoreNet, OHNY, RPA, Coro, ULI….let’s just say we are plugged into the action and

keep our finger on the pulse.

As our company kicks off additional projects, we seek to meet thinkers and doers

interested in joining us who care as much about urban change and neighborhoods as we

do. Karp Strategies is actively interviewing for a FT Analyst with 1-3 years of

demonstrated expertise in community/stakeholder engagement and outreach, writing,

qualitative research, and is comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders to

join our team as an immediate hire. This position is contingent on Karp Strategies being

awarded a new Company project, which we anticipate in the coming weeks. Analysts are

key members of our team who support client and internal projects, work closely with the

Karp Strategies leadership team and other companies that we may partner with, and are

involved with many aspects of the consulting process.

business development efforts, and other initiatives with Adobe Suite

programs. Ranging from things as simple as agendas to as big as decks

going to a client’s investors, execute on translating technical information into

layperson formats either independently or on a team.

● Work in a start-up environment with a close-knit team and our project partners

on misc. tasks, big or small, as they arise.

● Support business development efforts , including proposal research/writing,

research on partner firms, site visits, as needed.

● Strong writing and/or graphic design experience is a must given the range of

projects and client types.

● Multilingual written and oral skills (particularly Spanish, Chinese, Cantonese and

Russian) are highly regarded as part of our work with diverse communities across

the country.

● A deep curiosity about planning issues and an interest in incorporating an equity

lens to our work is strongly encouraged.
