 * Experience drafting documents, memos, letters, and other formal communications to clients, including board-ready or stakeholder-facing materials
 * The successful candidate must not be subject to employment restrictions from a former employer (such as a non-compete) that would prevent the candidate from performing the job responsibilities as described.
 * Due to nature of client engagements, US Citizenship restrictions may apply
 * No sponsorship is available for this position

What Would Be Nice to Have:

 * Master's Degree (MBA, MPP, MPA, etc.)
 * Project Management Professional (PMP), AICP, EIT, or PE

 * Experience with industry-leading capital planning and program/project management technologies, including but not limited to scheduling and cost tools (e.g., Primavera P6) and PMIS platforms (e.g., Aurigo Masterworks, Kahua)
