Position Summary

The CET team is looking for a seasoned Senior Program Manager to manage the Pre-Owned Electric Vehicle (EV) Rebate Program aimed at making EVs more affordable for all customers throughout PG&E’s service area. This program is part of a suite of tools and resources to aid in the adoption of electric vehicles among residential customers and equity communities.

Specific areas of responsibility for this role will include:

• Create, develop, execute, and troubleshoot a variety of tasks necessary for managing the pilot program, including but not limited to managing budgets, timelines, external partners, and key performance indicators.
• Responsible for driving best practices/efficiencies related to delivering on program goals.

• Managing contracts to ensure goals are met and the program stays within budget.

In addition to program management, specific areas of regulatory compliance include reporting to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) or the California Air Resources Board (CARB.)

The successful candidate will have a strong background in program, product and/or project management with experience operating in a regulated environment under the jurisdiction of the CPUC or CARB, identifying and collaborating with key internal and external stakeholders to formulate ideas, develop well- reasoned solutions, and resolve issues will be essential to the position. The candidate will have excellent critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills while demonstrating knowledge of and attention to details.

Experience with transportation electrification, electric vehicles, EVSE installation or construction projects is a plus!

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned work location based on business need. The assigned work location will be within the PG&E Service Territory and will be agreed upon by the successful candidate and hiring leader.

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 between the entry point and the middle of the range, the decision will be made on a case-by-case basis related to these factors. This job is also eligible to participate in PG&E’s discretionary incentive compensation programs.
