Renewables Policy Analyst

Location: Remote position (Anywhere in the US)

JOB SUMMARY

To meet our climate goals, we must accelerate deployment of utility-scale renewables at a breakneck speed over the next decade. We see the biggest opportunities to advance decarbonization at the state and local level–fighting restrictive renewable energy policy, securing pro-renewable policy wins, bucking the regulatory trends that are favoring fossil fuel generation over affordable, reliable renewable sources, accelerating utility-scale solar and wind energy projects in communities across the country, fighting local ordinances that are detrimental to the renewable energy transition and proactively advancing local ordinances that are conducive to renewables, bring economic and community benefits, and balance environmental impacts.

We are seeking a seasoned renewable energy policy expert to serve as the Renewables Policy Analyst. This position will play a pivotal role focused on local- and state-level policy and regulatory conditions that are at the crux of accelerating the deployment of utility-scale renewables, particularly in rural communities across the US. This role will spearhead the tracking of local ordinances, state level policies, and regulations that impact renewable energy projects through a strategic analysis of threats and opportunities for renewables, where we can have influence through advocacy campaigns, and targeted entry points and decision makers. The Renewables Policy Analyst will share research and analysis of targeted ordinances, policies and regulations, entry points and messaging to inform advocacy campaign implementation, both digitally and on-the-ground. The Renewables Policy Analyst will also provide advice and input to the project origination team about any policies or regulatory conditions that may impact a particular renewable energy project of focus. 

This is a full-time, remote role based anywhere in the United States. The Renewables Policy Analyst will report to the Head of Communications and Public Relations–and ultimately to the Government Affairs Director, once hired–and be part of the Campaigns Team, working collaboratively across the full team and externally. The Renewables Policy Analyst will be a highly collaborative professional who will work across teams and externally, conduct deep research in databases and across partner resources, and effectively manage up with leadership to secure timely decisions on policy opportunities. The Renewables Policy Analyst will operate from a home office, participate in regular in-person events, field work, and both internal and external meetings. Frequent interactions through video chat with ACE team members, partners, vendors, and funders are expected. Flexibility to work irregular hours as needed and a willingness to travel for field-based activities and partner meetings.
