You Are:Are you looking for an exciting opportunity in clean
energy? Do you want to be part of the solution to climate change?
If so, a career at Vicinity Energy could be for you! Vicinity
Energy is North America's largest provider of district energy
solutions, offering low carbon energy to most of the iconic
buildings you see in the skylines of Boston, Cambridge,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and many other cities in the US. As a
member of the communities we serve, all of us at Vicinity
understand the critical role we play in reducing the impacts of
climate change and being a leader in decarbonization. We are
committed to net zero and eliminating our reliance on fossil fuels,
but we need the best and the brightest minds on our team to help us
reach our goal, not only for us as a company, but for our
customers, our communities, and our planet. We seek a bright,
motivated individual to join our organization as Senior Policy and
Government Affairs Specialist, supporting the company's strategic
growth and sustainability objectives. The successful candidate will
be responsible for monitoring the legislative and policy landscape
impacting our business and supporting the formulation and execution
of our government affairs strategy to influence public policy.
Ideally, the Senior Policy and Government Affairs Specialist will
have some background in clean energy but, above all, must be able
to quickly become a subject matter expert on policies affecting
district energy and climate. The ideal candidate thrives in a
collaborative environment and is a strong independent worker who is
adept at completing tasks on time. This is a high visibility,
externally facing position. The Senior Policy and Government
Affairs Specialist will engage with public officials and climate
advocacy groups, prepare comments and presentations pertaining to
regulatory and legislative policies, and participate in public
policy forums and work groups. Responsibilities will also include
actively engaging with consultants and lobbyists working with
Vicinity Energy, supporting Vicinity's relationships with trade
groups and organizations, and managing an active calendar of
legislative milestones. As a member of Vicinity's Customer
Organization reporting to the Director of Government Affairs, the
Senior Policy and Government Affairs Specialist's role and
responsibilities will be tightly aligned with our growth, account
management and business development activities. This individual
will work with our internal teams of technical experts to tell our
story to public officials in an understandable and effective way,
paving the way for Vicinity to expand its footprint and be the
national leader in urban decarbonization. The primary focus of this
position will be to support Vicinity's business in Boston and
Cambridge. However, growth opportunities in other districts are
possible. The Senior Policy and Government Affairs Specialist will
identify the critical issues and opportunities in Boston and
Cambridge, collaboratively develop a strategic engagement plan, and
leverage internal and external resources to help execute. The right
candidate will be a team player and will need to engage across
departments (executive, sales, operations, marketing,
communications, etc.) to ensure alignment of priorities to
Vicinity's strategic objectives. The role will report directly to
the Director of Government Affairs and work very closely with the
Chief Sustainability Officer and the Chief Customer Officer.
