Project Management Coordinator, Growth team

The Opportunity and Position Summary

Power Forward Communities, a coalition of which Rewiring America is a part of, was recently awarded $2 billion from the EPA as part of the National Clean Investment Fund. With the help of our growing team, we plan to use this capital to deploy subsidized loans, software products and market building tactics to ensure that Low Income & Disadvantaged Communities (LIDACs) are not left out of the clean energy transition. Rewiring America’s Growth department oversees the market building strategy and execution for this ambitious goal.

This is where we need your support! We are seeking a Project Management Coordinator to play an integral part in bringing Rewiring America’s market shaping strategy to life.

This individual will also assist the VP of Growth with administrative support and help ensure that our entire department has the operational infrastructure needed to achieve its ambitious goals. The ideal candidate will have an intuition for seeing the bigger picture within technical domains and content, and also knowing the best ways to engage and motivate the larger team.

• Seek out and deliver timely and direct feedback that contributes to the ongoing development of oneself, team members, and a positive organizational culture.
• Identify and advocate for areas where new processes or tools will benefit our work product, and build or consult upon them as needed.
