Work at CDR
We're proud of our stellar team of managers, associates, and partners.
CDR is currently hiring a Program Associate!
CDR is a great match for professionals seeking values-based work, opportunities for growth, and a workplace culture that values individual perspectives and entrepreneurial proactivity. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply!
About the Program Associate Position
We are looking for an early career Program Associate to join our team and support the work of the entire organization. Our team works very collaboratively, and we are looking for a highly-skilled and talented individual who is self-motivated to produce excellent work in a timely manner. This position may be based in either Boulder or Portland and will include work across both offices and all practice areas.

What We Offer
Flexible Working Environment
At CDR, there’s flexibility in where you work. In a single week, that may include your home, CDR's office spaces, a client's headquarters, or wherever you like to hang your hat. Our hybrid working structure affords you access to the whiteboards, coffee machine, and snacks in our office while accommodating family, transportation, and scheduling needs.
Professional Development
We invest in our staff and help each member of the team grow their professional skills. Think conferences, trainings, and mentorship programs. On-the-job learning is a critical part of our work too: our philosophy embraces "failing forward," so we encourage staff to take on increasing levels of responsibility on projects to expand their skill set.
Compensation
CDR offers a generous benefits package to employees including health insurance, paid vacation, parental leave, and potential bonuses. Compensation is determined based on experience of the selected candidate—with opportunities to advance. Per Colorado state law, we clearly identify a hiring salary range in each job posting.
Team Building
Archery competitions? Or maybe waffles at the office? A strategic planning retreat in New Mexico (featuring puppies)? Skiing on Colorado's slopes? How about an improv class? Or a hands-on afternoon to support wildfire restoration?
We celebrate our accomplishments as a team and enjoy opportunities to try new things. What event should we plan next?
