About the role

NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) seeks an Associate Urban Designer to advance urban design development within the Office of Development and the BLDS division. You will contribute to architectural and planning projects, review proposals, and collaborate with cross‑agency partners to support affordable housing initiatives. Qualified candidates hold an architecture degree and have experience in urban design programs.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
