Director, SE Regional Market Development - Gates, United States - Groundswell
Description
ABOUT THE POSITION
This is an exciting opportunity for an external-facing connector who enjoys engaging new people and organizing coalitions intended to build clean energy systems that cut energy burdens in half, celebrate community ownership, advance housing equity, and support local jobs and businesses.
Groundswell's Director, SE Regional Market Development (SE Director) will build relationships grounded in trust and shared values, routinely meeting with Mayors, City Council members, civic leaders, agency leads, nonprofit partners, and community members.
The SE Director will be responsible for working with local partners to develop community-driven program and project development strategies in close collaboration with Groundswell's Energy Programs team, and for leading the proposal development process for securing Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and other sources of funding to support deployment.
Program priorities will span community solar and resilience centers, community ownership of clean energy assets, home energy efficiency for housing equity, and Solar for All.
The role is intended to strategically support and build the capacity of under-resourced and under-served municipalities and local communities across the region, uplifting Groundswell's core values including joyful service, taking care of each other, equity, and excellence.
Critical thinking, problem solving, and the ability to translate a shared vision into a compelling proposal will be essential to achieving success.
Maintaining an organized set of deliverables, driving on-time results, and building consensus among disparate stakeholders will be critical to meeting firm deadlines.
While the SE Director will travel within the region independently and meet with stakeholders alone in most instances, a strong teamwork orientation will be important.
A commitment to real-time sharing of information across the Groundswell enterprise is essential.The information and commitments gleaned from meetings will be used to help other Groundswell departments advance their own strategies whether that be program implementation, fundraising, reporting, or larger coalition building.
The SE Director, in alignment with Groundswell's strategic plan, will focus on small, rural, and under-served and under-resourced communities based in GA and extending into NC, Central and Southern VA, and expanding into adjacent states including AL and SC.
Average low-income household energy burdens at the state level exceed 20%, and at the county level, average low-income household energy burdens often exceed 30%.
Groundswell's strategic goals include cutting energy burdens in half for the communities we serve.
Groundswell is a values-driven social enterprise committed to a culture of belonging, and we invite you to review our strategic plan and values as you apply.
