Enterprise Advisors (Advisors) is the mission-based consultancy of Enterprise, focused on delivering advisory services in partnership with Federal agencies, units of local government, public housing authorities, nonprofit organizations, philanthropy, and others. We work with partners to improve the capacity, outcomes and impacts of place-based community development and housing programs and organizations nationwide so that all people have a place to live, grow and thrive.

We seek to advance racial equity and dismantle the enduring legacy of systemic racism in housing and community development both through and within the work we do. Our team includes over 30 professionals from across the country and is growing!

Housing and community development ecosystems are dynamic, and subject to micro and macro market factors that reveal nuanced challenges. Our Incubation & Trends (I&T) practice area explores and incubates new areas of work and scales place-based solutions including the intersections of data and technology, land use and zoning, and partnerships to cultivate solutions to new and persistent community challenges. We are increasingly focused on the intersections of land use and zoning and technology.

For decades communities have struggled to increase housing supply to keep up with demand leading to a nationwide shortage of housing. While unlocking housing supply is a priority for communities across the country, current land use regulations and zoning restrictions limit what can be built and rising land and construction costs put affordable housing out of reach for many families.

Advisors’ I & T practice area designs, deploys and scales innovative housing solutions in partnership with communities. We build capacity of communities to adapt to new technology and emerging trends and by leveraging data and technology we help communities advance land use and zoning reform to unlock housing supply, integrate equitable approaches and deploy innovative solutions to growing trends.

Advisors’ seeks a Senior Associate with GIS and data analysis experience for our growing I&T Practice Area to support a portfolio of work that provides technical expertise to cities and counties focused on reforming their land use and zoning policies to produce affordable housing. The Senior Associate should possess the necessary technical skills to leverage data and mapping software to demonstrate the impacts of various zoning actions, needs and opportunities to increase housing supply.

Examples of this work include context mapping for specific sites, corridors, or neighborhoods; developing a spatial analysis model for city-wide site feasibility analyses; and the development of market studies through mapping, census data analysis, and statistical modeling. The Senior Associate will also provide general support on other projects related to land use and zoning such as public land disposition, transit corridor rezoning, or community engagement.
