Responsibilities

• Power sector and energy systems expertise
• Apply utility sector fluency to the U.S. Cement Tool by mapping facility-level relationships with electricity providers, identifying clean energy access constraints, and surfacing decarbonization pathways across key regions
• Serve as the analytical engine for the organization’s emerging clean electricity work, building the evidence base that will inform where and how Industrious Labs engages on industrial-scale clean energy procurement across aluminum, cement, and other sectors
• Weigh in on state-level PUC proceedings, provide technical testimony, engage in IRP processes, and rate-making dockets — providing the technical grounding for campaign staff to engage regulators and policy venues with precision and credibility
• In close collaboration with the Senior Campaigns Director, assess the competitive landscape for industrial clean energy access at the state level, identifying priority markets and strategic entry points for new campaign work
• Manage the full technical lifecycle of the U.S. Cement Mapping Tool, from consolidating and cleaning multi-source datasets (USGS, Global Cement Directory, Climate Trace, EIA) through to a production-ready, publicly accessible interactive web tool launching by March 2027 alongside a team of visualization experts
• Conduct rigorous spatial and quantitative analysis to co-locate cement facilities with clean energy infrastructure, alternative fuel sources, CCS potential, and relevant policy environments, producing the layered insight that makes the tool strategically useful, not just descriptive
• Develop deep-dive regional analyses (4–5 priority regions) that synthesize facility-level data into actionable roadmaps, assessing transition opportunities and identifying specific policy, investment, and regulatory levers
• Build and maintain the analytical infrastructure that future campaigns will rely on, establishing data pipelines and modeling frameworks that can be extended to clean electricity, steel, and other industrial campaigns over time
• Synthesize and communicate the cement tool’s findings through clear narratives tailored to producers, policymakers, and advocates, serving as the primary subject-matter voice at launch through webinars, policymaker briefings, partner engagements, and media inquiries.

Requirements

• 5–8 years preferred in power systems analysis, energy economics, utility planning, or energy policy, from a utility, renewable developer, state agency, NGO, or think tank focused on electricity
• Demonstrated understanding of electricity markets, grid operations, and decarbonization pathways at the state or regional level, including familiarity with IRP processes, PUC proceedings, rate-making, RTOs, and FERC
• Strong quantitative skills with experience handling large, multi-source datasets; proficiency in Python, R, SQL, or similar
• Experience with data visualization platforms (Tableau, Power BI, GIS, e.g.) and the skill to integrate spatial, environmental, and policy datasets into a coherent, usable tool
• Demonstrated track record of taking analysis through to production, delivering finished, public-facing outputs on time
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills with a proven proficiency translating complex technical analysis into clear, compelling narratives for non-expert stakeholders
• Experience presenting analysis externally, through webinars, policymaker briefings, media engagement, or public comment processes — or clear aptitude and openness to doing so
• Skill to move from analysis to campaign-ready recommendations, identifying strategic decision points in close collaboration with campaign staff
• Demonstrated competency flexing across multiple projects simultaneously and move work forward under conditions of incomplete information or evolving scope

Benefits

• Industrious Labs offers competitive benefits, including 100% employer-paid health coverage (medical, dental and vision), a work-from-home stipend, up to 5% 401k employer match, 11 paid holidays, and unlimited vacation (with a minimum of 15 business days).
