Program Analyst

Job Description

The mission of the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumer energy costs by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency, and zero emission vehicles to benefit all Coloradans. We do this by developing and implementing highly impactful policies and programs, establishing Colorado as a leading state for climate action.

A critical strategy to reduce emissions in Colorado is electrifying the transportation sector - cars, trucks, buses, and bicycles. Colorado has the fifth highest market share for electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, but we have a long way to go to reach our goal of 940,000 EVs on the road by 2030. To achieve this aggressive goal, we provide direct funding for installation of charging stations across Colorado, so drivers can get anywhere in the state in an EV. We support incentives to purchase an EV, we advocate for improved electricity rates that make it cheaper to own an EV, and we provide education and technical support to consumers and fleets on the environmental and financial benefits of EVs.

This position will be part of the Transportation team, which manages multiple, diverse programs from charging infrastructure to mobility options such as e-Bikes, making it easier for Coloradans to go electric. The position will work closely with team members to analyze and inform existing grant programs through data analytics while looking for ways to innovate in order to remain responsive to a rapidly evolving landscape. This position will focus on analyzing and reviewing existing programs while also using data to inform future programs, policies and funding. The position will also be responsible for participating in the Transportation programs offered by the Energy Office in various capacities.

CEO is committed to increasing the diversity of our staff and providing culturally responsive programs and services. Therefore, we encourage responses from people of diverse backgrounds and abilities.
