Associate Director, Regulatory Affairs

Every day, we work together for what matters – bold, swift, and equitable climate action.

**ABOUT THE ROLE

**

At 3Degrees, we help organizations large and small take action toward a decarbonized, prosperous future.  One way we do this work is by originating, marketing, selling, and trading environmental commodities such as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Carbon Credits, and Clean Fuel Standard Credits. 3Degrees further leverages our market expertise to support utilities in offering compelling options for their customers to address their carbon emissions. Maximizing 3Degrees’ impact on renewable energy development and climate mitigation involves tracking, analyzing, and influencing the development of the rules that structure these environmental markets.

This is a new position that will report to the Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs. The role will manage an existing team focused on providing timely and actionable policy information to internal teams and serve as an individual contributor. This role will also interface regularly with external stakeholders who help shape the commodity markets 3Degrees operates in.  There will be plenty of opportunities to grow professionally as part of a growing team within a growing company.

This is a full-time position and can be located anywhere within the U.S., or if the candidate is interested in an opportunity to collaborate in one of our offices (1-day a week) in  San Francisco, CA, Portland, OR, New York, NY or Portland, ME.

• Build strong relationships with the Renewable Energy and Transportation Markets teams to maintain an accurate understanding of the impacts of changes to renewable portfolio standards, clean fuel standards, and other regulatory changes
• Manage and contribute to the North American policy team’s collaboration with analysts and product managers who implement supply-demand models, lead new product development, and develop go-to-market strategies
• Build and maintain new tools and systems to support tracking and communication on regulatory updates from a growing policy team

• Represent 3Degrees in policy meetings with government agencies, with stakeholder groups, at public forums, and through speaking engagements at conferences
• Write, review, and edit 3Degrees’ comments for public submission in various policy forums

• 3 years plus experience as a people leader and team builder who collaborates with an array of stakeholders and is excited to act as an individual contributor when needed
