## Job Description

## Key Responsibilities
- Intervene in state regulatory proceedings to provide comments and other advocacy pleadings supporting the company positions.
- Advocate company positions before staff and other stakeholders at state commission meetings, ISO/RTO stakeholder committee meetings, other forums and at FERC.
- Track initiatives (rulemakings, proposed tariff changes, etc.) in 2-3 wholesale electric markets, participate in stakeholder meetings in those markets and identify and advocate for positions supportive of the company’s business.
- Coordinate closely with the Voltus Energy Markets team on all advocacy and regulatory policy work in wholesale markets and at the state commission level.
- Determine a course of action when necessary, whether individually or by working with trade associations, to influence initiatives and collectively advocate for change.
- Be a public advocate and spokesperson on behalf of the company’s interests, by participating in stakeholder meetings, drafting comments, and meeting with critical players (e.g., Commissioners, RTO employees).
- Master our business by working across the organization (Energy Markets, Operations, Engineering, Sales, Finance) and use that knowledge in advocacy.
- Build strong relationships with stakeholders, including regulatory commission(er)s, federal agencies and officials, state energy officials and legislators, ISO/RTOs, environmental groups, consumer, and trade associations.
- After 3-6 months of onboarding, manage your responsibilities with limited oversight from the Chief Regulatory Officer.

## Required Qualifications
- 4-5 years experience in energy policy or regulation, with clear, successful outcomes from direct advocacy.
- A JD (desired) or other graduate degree required.
- Excellent writing skills. You will operate at times as essentially a one-person law firm, and must be able to draft regulatory filings when necessary.
- Excellent oral communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work with industry and stakeholder partners to grow and/or defend the overall market for distributed energy resources.
- Excellent project management skills. Must be incredibly efficient while also exercising judgment in allocating limited resources.
- Ability to effectively marshal knowledge across a variety of disciplines (engineering, energy markets, finance) and distill it to concise, understandable verbal and written communications.
- Comfort with measurable performance metrics and results-driven accountability.

Please submit a writing sample with your application. Ideally comments or pleadings of some kind that you have filed with either a state commission, FERC or at an ISO/RTO. If that’s not possible, please submit another writing sample.
