Building Power Resource Center
About Us:
We are a national resource hub for community organizations and government staff to utilize federal funds for leading edge climate policies in the buildings and power sector. We fund, strategize with, and connect our partners with the expertise they need to build real projects in their community.
We recognize the game-changing opportunity of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for our communities, a clean energy economy, and the public sector. Billions of dollars are on the table for local and state governments. But, without the leadership of community organizations, unions, and climate groups supporting and challenging government to craft programs for working class communities, the energy transition will be marked by inequality and missed opportunities. By supporting collaboration between powerbuilding groups and government leaders, we develop ambitious policy frameworks and flex the organizing muscle needed to transform our vision into reality.
We believe that successful models of co-governance can foster a coherent narrative of government helping working class people address their needs while rebuilding faith in democracy.
Our goal is to nurture the adoption of these policy and political models in dozens of places across the country in order to build the knowledge and capacity for implementing an equitable climate transition. More info here.
The Role:
A Senior Program Director directly supports community-based powerbuilding organizations and government staff on developing their policy agenda and implementing their campaign goals.
We are looking for humble policy and campaign experts. The ideal candidate has significant leadership experience driving organizing campaigns from outside government and/or implementing policy programs from the inside; they can balance the ambition of the principled just transition we need with the pragmatism necessary for successful governance. We are looking for go-getters who are motivated by genuine curiosity, detail obsessed, rigorously mission-focused, enthusiastic about climate and economic policy, and outcomes-driven!
This is a great opportunity to work with the best organizers across the country and with ambitious government officials to model effective climate and jobs programs that could be replicated across the country. Senior Program Directors will report to the Executive Director, and work closely with her as well as BPRC’s Senior Advisors.
