Lead, develop, and retain the Regulatory Compliance team by establishing priorities, balancing workloads, assigning primary and qualified backup ownership, and building sustainable internal expertise through training, cross-training, and succession planning
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Law, Regulatory Affairs, Energy Management, Public Policy, Information Technology, or a related field in which you developed knowledge applicable to energy operations, regulatory compliance, or enterprise program governance; equivalent relevant experience may be considered
Minimum, 15 years of progressively responsible experience in NERC compliance, reliability compliance, power-system operations, power regulatory affairs, engineering, power markets, or a related energy discipline, including at least five (5) years in a senior leadership role
Experience leading or supporting regulatory compliance within electric power, renewable energy, battery storage, transmission, utility, or independent power producer operations
Demonstrated experience interpreting and implementing NERC Reliability Standards and managing obligations involving Regional Entities, registered functions, ISO/RTO or system-operator requirements, audits, registrations, regulatory inquiries, evidence, and remediation
Experience directing cross-functional programs and making documented, defensible decisions involving technical, operational, legal, commercial, cybersecurity, and regulatory stakeholders
