The Policy Summer Associate at Groma will assist in extensive policy research and writing, focusing on economic, housing, and urban policy.

Summary Generated by Built In

Groma is a real estate and technology startup in Boston. Our business is one part full-service real estate development, investment, and management firm and one part innovative blockchain investing platform designed to enable more people to own real estate. We are passionate about the future of the Greater Boston area, and it is our goal to develop our local communities in sustainable and innovative ways. We are looking for a Policy Summer Associate to assist in research and writing to inform our approach to the many public policy issues with which we interact.

Groma is a startup, which means we work hard and are constantly evolving to meet new and exciting challenges. We are focused on a strong and dynamic in-office culture, with flexibility of course, but we thrive on interpersonal interactions and like seeing each other most days to work together on complex problems. Groma is on a fast growth trajectory, and we’re looking for team members ready to dig in and build something special together in the city we love.

About the Position

Groma is highly active in political advocacy in three core policy areas–economic policy, housing policy, and urban policy more broadly–in addition to a number of secondary areas. The Policy Summer Associate will work with the Policy Architect and the executive team to develop and refine Groma’s approach to all elements of our business that intersect with these policy areas (which is to say most of our business). This will include intensive policy research and writing as well as presentation of findings both within the firm and to relevant external parties: government officials, advocacy groups, and thought leaders in academia, think tanks, and journalism. Think of the role as being a contributor to an internal think tank with the goal of developing a holistic approach for Groma to achieve maximally beneficial outcomes for the parts of society with which it interacts: tenants, investors, and all stakeholders in our cities, our country, and the world as a whole. This role combines the subject material and intellectual rigor of a think tank with the fast-paced and flexible environment of a startup. 

Job Functions

  • Research policy topics under the direction of the Policy Architect
  • Monitor relevant policy changes at the municipal, state, and federal level
  • Produce research output for presentation to the Groma team and to external parties. This will include:
    • Position papers
    • Blog posts
    • Educational briefings for other team members
    • Analyses of impacts of different state and municipal policies to help Groma plan its expansion
  • Collaborate with the Policy Architect and the executive team to determine how to operationalize research findings with other Groma teams, including engineering, acquisitions, and property management
  • Develop relationships with external stakeholders via in-person meetings, video calls, and written communications (this will include policymakers, academics, journalists, and activists)

Skills & Experience

  • Academic background in policy research or other rigorous analytical role
  • Exceptional knowledge of relevant policy issues
  • Strong presentation and interpersonal skills
  • Strong organizational, time management, and computer skills
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
