Moving forward the Director will also collaborate closely with the Weatherization Assistance Program and Colorado Solar for All program.
Day to day responsibilities include engaging with and leveraging industry stakeholders, conceptualizing and designing market transformation initiatives, and implementing programs that effectively address barriers to sector decarbonization. In addition, the Director represents CEO in regional and national conversations on building decarbonization. Candidates must have extensive experience developing and managing teams, leading high-profile and complex projects and programs, knowledgeable about building decarbonization policy, able to demonstrate success in securing and implementing funding for new programs, and communicative and easy to work with.
