Program Analyst position description
TransitCenter, a civic foundation committed to improving urban mobility, seeks a Program Analyst to join its New York City office. The successful candidate will be an integral member of a unique, dynamic, and growing organization and contribute research; develop and implement programs and projects related to improving transportation in cities; administer grants; and build organizational capacity.
Responsibilities
As part of a team, the Program Analyst will research issues, develop opportunities, and execute projects that promote sustainable urban mobility, with oversight from senior staff. Some projects may be executed through the use of program consultants with specialized subject matter expertise, who the Program Analyst must be qualified to oversee. A sample of work we have previously commissioned can be reviewed at www.transitcenter.org/ourwork.
An initial primary area of focus draws on a diversity of topics such as transit planning, technology, rider information, or capital project finance. While specific assignments will be shaped in part by the Program Analyst’s particular background, a successful candidate will have avid interest and versatility to work on a range of other transportation-related subjects as assigned.
The Program Analyst will also share responsibility for communicating TransitCenter’s initiatives through articles, blog posts, and social media.
TransitCenter’s is a small but growing organization, so the Program Analyst may also be expected to play a hands-on role in operations and shoulder a portion of the organization’s administrative and clerical duties as assigned.
The position is based in New York City. The salary range is $55-70,000 commensurate with experience, with a competitive benefits package.
