Responsibilities
Help set Base’s government affairs strategy at the state and local level - setting priorities, building relationships with regulators and stakeholders, and driving outcomes that expand where and how Base can operate
Monitor legislative efforts across the country, while diving deeper into a dozen or so active and target markets; assess business-model impact, and translate findings into recommendations
Track legislation nationally, with deeper level of involvement in approx a dozen states, assisted by contract lobbyists
Draft legislation, testimony, comment letters, and position papers; manage external lobbyists and advocacy partners to advance state-level priorities
Build coalitions with industry groups, consumer advocates, and other stakeholders to advance policy positions relating to distributed energy resources
Represent Base at conferences, legislative hearings, and industry forums; develop briefing materials and policy papers that position Base as a credible voice on grid modernization and distributed energy
Qualification
Required
7+ years of experience in government affairs, public policy, or lobbying - with a track record of advancing legislation; experience in energy, utilities, or a related infrastructure sector is a plus, but we would welcome any candidate with significant experience
Deep knowledge of state legislative processes; existing relationships with legislators or other relevant stakeholders
Familiarity or involvement with organizations where state legislators develop model policies
Excellent presentation, written, and oral communication skills - you can effectively advocate for Base priorities before legislators, write comment letters for hearings or one-pagers for Base teams, and build coalition pitch decks
Self-starter instincts with strong project management skills; comfort holding multiple state workstreams simultaneously, managing outside lobbyists, and operating without a large support network as we build one over time
