  • Represent ChargePoint in meetings, hearings, and stakeholder groups, in coordination with ChargePoint policy directors and consultants.

Qualifications

  • Experience in energy policy and regulatory processes. This includes knowledge of electric utilities and their business models, ability to review and analyze utility rates and programs, and demonstrated knowledge of electric vehicle charging or distributed energy technologies (such as solar and energy efficiency). Experience with transportation policy a plus.
  • Minimum of 5 years of work experience with at least 3-5 years of working in utility policy, energy policy, or regulatory affairs.
  • Track record of successfully navigating legislative and regulatory proceedings.
  • Bachelor’s degree required. Legal or public policy degree preferred but not required. Graduate degree preferred but not required.
  • Ability to speak and write clearly, accurately and persuasively.

  • Resourcefulness in solving problems with limited resources.
  • Excellent people skills and an upbeat and enthusiastic attitude.
  • Strong organizational skills and keen attention to detail.
  • Strong computer skills including Excel and PowerPoint.
