Position Summary

PG&E is seeking a strategic professional with strong engineering, regulatory, or operations experience to join Electric Risk and Compliance as an Expert Program Manager – Insights & Intelligence. In this role, you will help leaders stay ahead of emerging regulatory, compliance, and operational risks by turning complex information into clear, decision‑ready insights.

You will lead Electric Risk and Compliance’s approach to regulatory and compliance intelligence, using analytics, visualization, and responsibly applied AI to integrate regulatory requirements, enforcement trends, industry signals, and internal risk data. Success in this role requires strong engineering, regulatory, or operations judgment to help leaders understand what is changing, why it matters, and what action may be needed.

 

This role goes beyond traditional analytics or reporting. You will provide structured interpretation, synthesis, and prioritization of complex inputs—using analytical and visualization tools to support technical, regulatory, and operational insight development, reduce ambiguity, surface emerging risks earlier, and support informed leadership decisions. Your work will directly support executive and officer‑level discussions and strengthen PG&E’s proactive compliance posture.

 

The selected candidate must live within PG&E's service territory, and will be exptected to work in the office 2-3 times a week.

 

PG&E is providing the salary range that the company in good faith believes it might pay for this position at the time of the job posting. This compensation range is specific to the locality of the job.  The actual salary paid to an individual will be based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to, specific skills, education, licenses or certifications, experience, market value, geographic location, and internal equity.  Although we estimate the successful candidate hired into this role will be placed towards the middle or entry point of the range, the decision will be made on a case-by-case basis related to these factors.​

 

A reasonable salary range is:

Minimum Base Salary (Bay Area)            $129,000.00

Mid Base Salary (Bay Area)        $168,000.00

Maximum Base Salary (Bay Area)           $207,000.00

 

Minimum Base Salary (California)         $123,000.00

Mid Base Salary (California)      $160,000.00

Maximum Base Salary (California)        $197,000.00
