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 building decarbonization - the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings through strategies like energy efficiency, electrification, using renewable energy, and specifying low carbon materials. Colorado’s fifth leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions is buildings. Thanks to the landmark Inflation Reduction Act, Colorado has received approximately $140 million from the Department of Energy to implement two income-qualified Home Energy Rebate programs: Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR). This six year program presents a unique opportunity to use this funding to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transform the market, improve quality of life, and potentially reduce consumer bills. This position will primarily support the HEAR program, although duties will cross both Home Energy Rebates programs. The HEAR program will provide discounts on electrical equipment and appliance upgrades for eligible households with income less than 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI) in their county. The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) will provide HEAR rebates for electric upgrades such as heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and electric load service centers and wiring. CEO is currently administering a portion of HEAR funding through the Colorado Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The remainder of the HEAR funding will cover direct-to-consumer rebates for eligible Coloradans. This position will work closely with the Associate Director and program management staff, providing leadership for the ongoing management of the program. Additionally, this position will support vendor management, grant management, and contract management. The Senior Program Manager will also have the opportunity to work on emerging tasks such as workforce, communications and engagement, and building decarbonization as it relates to the Home Energy Rebates Programs, HEAR and HER. 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. The State of Colorado strives to create a Colorado for All by building and maintaining workplaces that value and respect all Coloradans through a commitment to equal opportunity and hiring based on merit and fitness. The State is resolute in non-discriminatory practices in everything we do, including hiring, employment, and advancement opportunities.
