During his career, he has held fellowships at both New America and the Roosevelt Institute, and notably served as co-chair of the Law and Political Economy (LPE) Project. Rahman once served as an analyst within OIRA during the Obama Administration, and would return to the office as a Senior Counselor under President Joe Biden.[6] In New York City, he served as a special advisor for economic development from 2014 to 2015 and has also served on the city's Rent Guidelines Board.[7]
