<h3>Who We Are</h3>The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit dedicated to accelerating the equitable adoption of climate solutions in New York State and beyond. Given that many of the technologies we need to solve the climate crisis already exist, it’s imperative that we ensure they are adopted quickly, equitably, and at scale. To enable this adoption, The Clean Fight designs and implements different models of adoption to identify and share the actionable strategies that can lead to the rapid deployment of decarbonization solutions, for all. Our programs focus on different parts of the clean energy economy, with practice areas that include buildings, energy storage, and food services.The Clean Fight currently has three core programs. The <a href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/accelerator">accelerator program</a> is New York State’s only accelerator focused on growth-stage companies, supporting innovative climate companies looking to move from initial deployment to broad market adoption. Our program is designed to help them quickly scale by collapsing the sales cycle through high-touch customer and capital partner matchmaking, technical assistance, and non-dilutive investments to help with initial deployments. Our second program, the <a href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/etp">Empire Technology Prize</a>, is a $10M prize program focused on advancing the development and deployment of easy to adopt clean heating solutions for New York's tall buildings. By focusing the world’s best innovators on this issue, combined with the involvement of New York's leading real estate players as demonstration partners, we hope not only to collapse the time to market for these crucial  technologies, but to provide a blueprint for other markets in the US and globally to do the same.Our latest program, the <a href="https://thecleanfight.com/programs/capital-challenge">Energy Storage Capital Challenge</a>, is designed to support innovative energy storage projects in need of capital to advance their deployment in New York State. This is a pivotal time for energy storage innovation in New York, with unprecedented Federal and State incentives, policy, and funding to support the deployment of projects. However, significant obstacles exist for innovators and developers to successfully deploy in New York’s unique market. The Energy Storage Capital Challenge is focused on one key need: Aligning capital to accelerate innovative energy storage projects.We are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and New Energy New York (NENY).

California Regulatory & Policy Senior Associate

ABOUT THE COALITION​The Building Decarbonization Coalition (BDC) unites building industry stakeholders with energy providers, environmental justice organizations, clean energy advocates, unions and workforce stakeholders, and state and local governments to help electrify homes and businesses.Through coalition-building, consumer inspiration, and policy analysis, the BDC is pursuing fast, fair action to accelerate the adoption of heat pumps and other building electrification products and services, which will help states cut one of their largest sources of pollution while creating safe, healthy, and affordable communities.POSITION SUMMARY To the BDC, the transition to zero-emission homes and workplaces is an indispensable opportunity to bring a new generation of people into the skilled trades. Historic levels of investment in decarbonization, at all levels of government and from the private sector, can provide family-sustaining jobs and increase the prosperity of American communities—but only if a critical mass of stakeholders demand it.BDC’s Coalition includes hundreds of private, public, and nonprofit sector organizations who share a vision for building decarbonization that is smooth, expeditious, consumer-friendly, and economically beneficial for everybody. To reach that end state, policies and regulations must reflect the needs of workers—their cost and regulatory pressures, their need to provide value to their customers, and the desire for more young people to enter the trades.BDC is seeking a creative systems thinker, people-person, and subject matter expert in one or more building systems (e.g. HVAC, plumbing, or electrical) with a personal commitment to making sure that climate action leads to prosperity for American workers and their families. This is a new position which may eventually supervise one or more direct reports. The Senior Manager will provide strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, coalition recruitment, meeting facilitation, and project management capabilities for the following:ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS<ul><li>Recruit and launch BDC’s contractor steering committee, ensuring representation from diverse geographies and trades.</li><li>Work to convene ideologically diverse stakeholders and facilitate challenging discussions in pursuit of a constructive, pro-decarbonization consensus. </li><li>Negotiate, draft, and publish a regular progress report on decarbonization workforce development in the states, including policy and regulatory recommendations for states, with the input and assistance of the steering committee members.</li><li>Facilitate steering subcommittees–starting in California and the Northeast, but potentially expanding to other regions–in collaboration with BDC colleagues and partners in those places, focusing on direct engagement with policymakers and coordination with major industry actors.</li><li>Participate in state-level advocacy for neighborhood-scale building decarbonization alongside BDC colleagues and partners.</li><li>Build and maintain relationships with organized labor and ensure that their interests are reflected and supported in BDC’s programming.</li><li>Interface with both mainstream media outlets and the trade press, in coordination with BDC’s communications staff, to ensure that BDC’s pro-worker decarbonization message is widely disseminated among workers, by workers.</li></ul>SKILLS &amp; QUALIFICATIONS<ul><li>Substantial subject matter knowledge regarding commercial and/or residential energy systems is required. Familiarity with utility business models or major electric grid or gas distribution system issues would be an asset.</li><li>Strong familiarity with the needs of people in the trades, gained through work experience in the trades–e.g., as an HVAC installer, electrician, or plumber–or in an adjacent industry.</li><li>Outstanding relationship management and coalition-building skills, including a genuine willingness to hear, consider, and account for divergent viewpoints.</li><li>Desire to work within a participatory organizational culture which insists on the value of each team member’s contribution without sacrificing decisiveness or agility.</li><li>Demonstrated success facilitating challenging discussions with and between diverging interests in pursuit of a high-stakes goal.</li><li>Comfort with ambiguity, as BDC is a growing organization which is building innovative new initiatives in a complicated issue area.</li></ul>WORK ENVIRONMENT, SCHEDULE, &amp; TRAVELThe Senior Manager, Workforce Development will work remotely from their home and can be based anywhere in the United States, though Eastern or Central time zones are preferred.
