• Developing and maintaining strong partnership with the client, providing strategic guidance to support them in leveraging HR&A’s work to make the impact they seek.

Responsibilities of the Inclusive Cities Principal in Dallas will also include:

• Close partnership with Partners in the Inclusive Cities practice and in the Dallas office to support the growth and development of their work.
• Represent HR&A and the Inclusive Cities practice externally at events and in professional associations.
• Develop and manage tools and methodologies that support the growth of the Inclusive Cities practice and upend traditional approaches to economic development such that the company’s overall work and other practice areas are enriched.
• Engage in internal companywide activities that advance HR&A’s commitment to Anti-Racism.

THE PRACTICE | HR&A’s Inclusive Cities practice translates the ideas of communities and their advocates into meaningful systems change within local government. Working with visionary clients from grassroots activists to elected city and county leaders, we leverage our deep understanding of government, knowledge of local and private economic forces, and analytical rigor to promote social and economic justice. We launch programs that center racial equity, advance social and economic justice, and inform policy. We work with local governments to define, evaluate, and implement processes and policies that actively promote inclusion and serve their constituents. We partner with communities so that they can be the most effective at using the levers available to them to make more equitable projects, neighborhoods, and cities.
