The Clean and Renewable Energy (CaRE) team is hiring a Program Manager on a contingent, limited-term basis. During this period, this role serves as the day-to-day owner and coordinator for Client's energy activity data — the Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 energy datasets that feed the company's greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, emissions forecasting, and voluntary and regulatory disclosures. This is a hands-on, data-centric role: it requires 3-5 years of experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams in a fast-paced, matrixed environment, direct experience working with large datasets and running or QC'ing analytics, and the ability to communicate data status and insights to technical and non-technical audiences. This individual must have familiarity with corporate GHG accounting and be comfortable with query tools and data QA/validation workflows. This is a full-time, limited-term position.

Support external assurance and audit activities (e.g., methodology walkthroughs with Client’s assurance provider) and preparing and validating data and documentation as requested
Triage and respond to incoming energy-data and analytical requests; track progress against internal KPIs and stakeholder expectations
Maintain and improve reporting documentation — the what, when, where, how, and why of energy data collection, including team-specific nuances and process flows
