Senior Analyst, Network Intelligence

At Volta we’re on a mission to accelerate the adoption of the electric vehicle. Volta creates city-wide electric vehicle charging networks in major metropolitan areas. Our charging networks are free-to-use, free to our property partners, and monetized through brand sponsorships and digital media content.
The challenge to efficiently plan a network of EV charging stations in a city or across the country is one that needs to take into account many different factors and dimensions such as shifting cost, utilization and market growth metrics even before taking into consideration Volta’s differentiating and industry-disrupting business model.
As Senior Analyst, Network Intelligence, you will develop and communicate insights that allow Volta to expand its charging station network more rapidly and profitably. Your work will directly drive decisions about how and where we grow our network, synthesizing internal and external data sources as well as qualitative insights to create actionable strategies. Potential projects might include analysis of new markets or verticals to enter, development of evaluation and approval processes, and partnering with other teams to implement strategies and track execution. This role will require a high degree of intellectual curiosity, experience framing and answering business questions using analytical tools, and the ability to own and drive your work.
This position will be based in San Francisco and will report to Director, Network Intelligence.
