• Government experience — At least 3–5 years in government, public policy, or regulatory affairs at the federal or state level. Prior experience as a legislative staffer, agency official, or in a role directly shaping policy outcomes.
• Subject matter expertise — Stays current on energy policy, regulatory developments, and industry trends, translating that knowledge into strategic guidance for leadership and external partners.
• Policy development & advocacy — Demonstrated ability to build policy positions from the ground up — drafting legislative frameworks, comment letters, and testimony, and engaging directly with decision-makers to advance them.
• Regulatory analysis & monitoring — Tracks changes in laws, rulemakings, and regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions and assesses their business impact clearly and proactively, without waiting to be asked.
• Stakeholder collaboration — Builds trust across a wide range of relationships — agency officials, legislators, industry peers, internal teams — and leverages those relationships to drive real results.
• Nonpartisan instincts — Understands that good energy policy doesn't belong to one party, and is equally comfortable building relationships and advancing priorities across the aisle.
• Exceptional writing & communication — Produces clear, compelling work across formats — policy memos, comment letters, and briefings.
• Mission alignment — Energized by the challenge of decarbonizing the energy system and sees geothermal as a critical and underutilized part of the solution. Eager to help shape the policy environment that enables its growth.
