Buildings are one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas pollution in the State of Colorado and generate $7 billion in annual energy costs for households and businesses. The Director of Building Decarbonization will lead CEOs strategy and mentor a high performing team that works to decarbonize the building sector through efficiency and electrification to save consumers money and meet our states climate goals. The Building Decarbonization team engages in both regulatory work and market development, including building codes, benchmarking, building performance standards, affordable housing, residential rebates, as well as providing technical assistance to local governments. Moving forward the Director will also collaborate closely with the Weatherization Assistance Program and Colorado Solar for All program.
Day to day responsibilities include engaging with and leveraging industry stakeholders, conceptualizing and designing market transformation initiatives, and implementing programs that effectively address barriers to sector decarbonization. In addition, the Director represents CEO in regional and national conversations on building decarbonization. Candidates must have extensive experience developing and managing teams, leading high-profile and complex projects and programs, knowledgeable about building decarbonization policy, able to demonstrate success in securing and implementing funding for new programs, and communicative and easy to work with. Candidates should be ready to speak about their vision for this team and how it will help the state of Colorado to meet its climate goals.
