Department Overview

Utility Partnerships & Innovation (UPI) is responsible for the creation of transformative, scalable solutions to interlocking utility challenges through the development of third-party partnerships and the deployment of new technology that directly accelerates PG&E’s long-term strategy. The Electrification & Decarbonization team within UP&I is focused on the development, creation, and implementation of transformative, scalable solutions to drive the vehicle and building electric transition. This includes regulatory, strategy development, stakeholder outreach, and program design, development, management and implementation of various infrastructure, customer incentives, rates, and future programs.

We focus on safety and quality, invest in our team’s success, solve problems, and strive to be better, work as an integrated team, and build trusted relationships. We collaborate and are intellectually curious. We are looking to collaborate with passionate, thoughtful people who want to make a real impact. Come join our team and help drive the transition to an electrified California.


Position Summary

PG&E’s Building Electrification & Efficiency Strategy (BE&ES) team is tasked with iterating and executing on PG&E’s strategy that recognizes building electrification as one of the least cost ways for PG&E to achieve a net zero energy system by 2040 – five years ahead of California’s carbon neutrality goal. Achieving this goal will require a holistic plan for PG&E to electrify buildings that supports our customers, manages energy affordability, and meets our climate goals.

To execute on this strategy, the BE&ES team will focus on these strategic workstreams:

Build: reimagining how we build and plan for integrated electric and gas systems to support building electrification at scale,
Create: creating a repeatable and scalable pathway to enable widespread electrification via partnerships and policy advocacy,
Invest: investing in sustainable funding approaches that can benefit all customers to enable PG&E and California’s vision of an equitable, affordable, decarbonized, and resilient state,
Serve: working to serve the electrification customer experience in a way that inspires joy and builds trust; and,
Deploy: strategizing how we can enable and deploy interoperable pro-electrification technologies at scale.

This role will primarily support the Create and Invest workstreams, providing strategic planning, analysis, development of strategies and policy positions to further regulatory and financial pathways that enable building electrification at scale. The successful candidate must be comfortable communicating with internal leaders, other IOUs, the CPUC, and other intervenors in regulatory proceedings, and possess the ability to support the development of the appropriate communication materials for any of those stakeholders. The candidate must have strong analytical skills and the ability to solve unique and complex strategic issues and problems. This person must also be comfortable working both autonomously and in cross-functional teams. Finally, the ideal candidate must demonstrate high accountability, strong organizational and project management skills, leadership strength, and be energized and passionate about learning.

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned work location based on business need. The preferred work location is Oakland, CA.

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.


A reasonable salary range is:


Bay Area Minimum: $102,000


Bay Area Maximum: $152,000
