Description

Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) is a vibrant and expanding 501(c)(3) that promotes policy and market-based solutions to advance sustainable energy in the U.S. and internationally. CRS’s work engages stakeholders across the sustainable energy sector, including renewable energy users, sellers, government, and other NGOs through its education, technical assistance, and policy-focused programs and outreach. CRS also administers the market-leading?Green-e®?programs, which offer independent environmental and consumer protection standards and certification for buyers and producers of renewable energy, such as utility green power programs, and carbon offsets and biomethane.  

As the public’s awareness of the impacts of pollution arising from electricity generation, energy security issues, and sustainable economic development has risen, the demand for renewable energy has increased greatly.  Voluntary certified renewable energy sales in the U.S. have increased an average of 17% over the past 4 years, and CRS’s Green-e® Certification program currently certifies roughly 3% of the total U.S. electricity mix. More than half of the installed wind capacity in the U.S. is participating in Green-e® Energy certified transactions.  This position is a chance to join a leading clean energy nonprofit organization and work on a program whose growth mirrors the dynamic renewable energy market. 

This is a full-time, exempt position.

The Analyst position is based in CRS’s San Francisco office. This position is not remote and requires in-person presence in accordance with CRS’s work schedule policies. Currently CRS maintains a hybrid work schedule, but that could change based on the needs of the organization and other factors.
