Join Our Policy Team

Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) seeks a Director of Policy to lead CEE's public policy development and advocacy. The Director will lead policy development, legislative strategy, regulatory strategy, advocacy at the Minnesota Legislature, Department of Commerce, and Public Utilities Commission, as well as building and maintaining strategic partnerships and relationships with utilities, environmental groups, labor organizations, public interest organizations, and other key stakeholders in Minnesota's energy policy sphere. This position requires thought leadership and experience to effectively advance practical, cost-effective, clean energy solutions. The Director of Policy will continue CEE's longstanding bipartisan approach and work across the Legislature's political spectrum and build diverse strategic coalitions to ensure clean energy solutions are approved and implemented.

By bringing this expertise to the policy sphere and developing partnerships, CEE's policy team develops practical solutions to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy affordability, maintain reliability and grow economic opportunity for all. We are seeking a collaborative, pragmatic and creative energy policy leader to grow CEE's data-driven brand of thought leadership.

This is a hybrid position with occasional presence required at the Minneapolis office and significant presence required at in-person meetings with Minnesota partners and stakeholders. Occasional travel required to out-of-state conferences.
