**About PSD Citywide**

PSD Citywide is a full-service firm offering research, consulting services and software to the North American public sector market. Our client base includes hundreds of small, mid-sized, and large municipalities from across North America, provincial/state and federal government agencies, and private sector entities. We are an industry leader that specializes in enterprise asset management and financial budgeting for municipalities. Over our years of experience, we have developed cutting-edge software solutions for our client’s asset management and financial budgeting needs, leaving behind mature and manageable programs making positive impacts in local communities.

PSD Citywide’s service areas are configured to meet three essential needs for governments: policy research and analysis, high-performance technology, and credible data. Through our infrastructure consulting and advisory practice, we work with decision-makers to refine organizational systems, programs and processes for better corporate outcomes.

The Research Analyst position is responsible for conducting research primarily in the fields of local government asset management, finance & budgeting, and climate change adaptation. All research and policy analysts in the department are responsible for writing articles, white papers, and client case studies. Additionally, each Research Analyst will support the sales team by producing timely briefings, supporting promotional webinar production, researching existing and new markets, and writing targeted client case studies. The position is dense in written material, and success in the position is greatly attributed to attention to detail and strong writing and researching skills. Moreover, a strong understanding of government policy, specifically in the realm of municipal government, is essential to this position.
