Are you a good fit?

If you are a climate nerd following clean energy and power distribution (electrical) news daily, you may be a good fit. Better yet, if you have a history of building quantitative models to provide data‑backed insights into policy decisions, you may be a great fit. Finally, if you also have experience designing or implementing clean energy policies and programs, you may be perfect for this job.

Identify, collect, and synthesize energy data from diverse public and proprietary sources to build credible baselines, benchmarks, and long‑term sector forecasts
Evaluate and construct energy‑use forecasts for cities, states, utilities, and other partners, incorporating technology, policy, and market trends
Design data‑driven clean‑energy, decarbonization, and equity‑focused policies and programs, providing actionable recommendations for government, utility, and community stakeholders
Author high‑quality research reports, policy briefs, and analytical deliverables that translate complex insights into clear, compelling narratives
Engage directly with partners—delivering presentations, facilitating discussions, and collaborating across internal and external workstreams to support project goals
Contribute to team strategy and thought leadership, helping advance best practices in modeling, policy design, and equity‑centered clean‑energy analysis

Required Qualifications

Knowledge of energy markets, especially electricity policy and regulatory issues
Exceptional quantitative analysis ability and experience creating forecasts using assumptions from primary research and existing databases
Demonstrated proficiency with advanced Excel functions, databases, word processing, slide presentation software, and data visualization tools (preferably Tableau); outstanding problem‑solving skills, resourceful and skillful in secondary research, information discovery, and data aggregation
Bachelor’s Degree in public policy, economics, engineering, science or related fields and 4+ years of experience as a consultant/analyst in the clean energy field, OR advanced degree and 2+ years’ experience
Strong interest and/or experience in one or more of the following areas of energy supply and demand: energy efficiency, renewable energy, residential and commercial building energy use, distributed generation, electric vehicles, utility resource planning, and clean transportation
