About Rewiring America

The climate crisis is being driven in large measure by the billions of machines we depend on where we live, work, learn, play, and pray and how we get between those places. There is no empirically plausible way to stay inside of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming unless we electrify all of those machines. We do not have time to spare. Addressing the crisis, therefore, is not abstract, but a set of actions to electrify all of those machines, and the location of all that activity is in our physical communities. These are the places where we can focus our attention, measure our progress, and directly benefit from our actions. We believe that the electrification of the economy — starting with understanding the American household as the keystone of our infrastructure — is the most equity-centered way to address the climate crisis.

Meeting this moment requires market transformation. Our view on this involves storytelling and data to ratchet up ambition, policy that jolts the market into action and removes barriers to adoption, a groundswell of consumer-driven demand, and real time demonstration that electrifying everything is a strategy for individual and family wellness and community renewal and reinvestment.

Rewiring America is a rapidly growing nonprofit organization that is pulling policy levers at all levels of government and tying together, repointing, and retraining a fragmented ecosystem of manufacturers, financiers, installers, and customers. We are connecting the abstract and overwhelming idea of climate change to those billions of decisions we will be making over the coming decades. Said simply, it is just one machine at a time.

The Opportunity and Position Summary

With a clear and inspiring vision, smart strategies, and significant and sustained financial support, we are growing our team and seeking an entrepreneurial Head of Policy & Market Transformation to join our leadership team. This position reports to the organization’s CEO.

In this newly created position, the Head of Policy & Market Transformation will drive the development and execution of a strategy to make electrification the default climate policy in Washington and in leading states. Building on our work over the last year, Rewiring America will accelerate the policy transition to demand-side electrification as the most tangible and common sense strategy for addressing the climate crisis. We will do so by building the base through our electrification caucus in Congress and our federal electrification policy coalition, which includes environmental justice, civil rights, energy security, affordable housing, climate, industry, and trades-focused groups. Organizing these stakeholders in Washington, DC and state capitals around the country will be a critical part of the Policy & Market Transformation team’s work.

The incoming Head of Policy & Market Transformation and their team will further develop Rewiring America’s policy leadership role by designing and publishing a federal electrification plan, including next steps of legislative and regulatory action and other market levers, and applying these strategies to at least two states by the end of 2022, with additional markets in 2023. A core part of the work will be navigating the future of electrification with key stakeholders, including labor, utilities, and manufacturers, and tying a political strategy to every policy objective Rewiring America pursues.

Rewiring America is also determined to finish the job on Build Back Better, and the Head of Policy & Market Transformation will continue advocating for the kitchen table provisions in the bill and the effective implementation of the bill’s provisions, with a particular focus on the ease-of-use and market dissemination of consumer-facing provisions.

This is a high profile role for a proven policy leader who has a solid track record of setting and driving bold and inspiring change through policy action. This is a role for someone who can see the big picture and the steps necessary to achieve them. In doing this work, the Head of Policy & Market Transformation will further establish Rewiring America as a national policy leader and a go-to resource for policymakers, policy influencers, and climate advocates around electrification at all levels of government.

What You’ll do

• Develop and drive our federal policy agendas and frameworks, iterating as we identify and leverage key pressure points and ensuring that our priorities are equity-centered and delivering for families and communities with the most to gain from electrification.

• Relentlessly focus on identifying market transformation levers from federal to local and public to private, incorporating them into Rewiring America’s express policy work as well as across the organization’s tools and capabilities.

Coalition Building & Convening

• Support the recruitment and convening of coalition partners as part of Policy & Market Transformation team efforts, including members of the Bicameral Electrification Caucus and Federal Electrification Policy Coalition.
• Support the building of new organizational relationships and alliances that reflect the centrality of equity, diversity, and environmental and economic justice, including with organized labor.
• Identify new partners with aligned efforts to accelerate electrification and leverage resources, relationships, and research.
• Partner closely with Rewiring America’s Communications, Engagement and Partnerships, Research and Product teams to ensure strong coordination and leveraging of policy and advocacy priorities across Rewiring America’s platform.

• Serve as a member of the Leadership Team with responsibility for the success of Rewiring’s overall strategy, financial strength, and inclusive organizational culture.
• Determine and manage the policy and market transformation budget, ensuring cost effectiveness and accurate reporting to funders.
• Support overall fundraising efforts related to the policy agenda and priorities.
• Build and manage a policy staff and consultant team as appropriate, including establishing annual objectives (to support overall goals established in the policy agendas), provide regular feedback and appropriate recognition, conduct annual performance reviews, and support ongoing professional development.
• Develop dashboards to track progress and benchmarks against the policy agendas and proactively produce reports and analyses of campaigns to inform strategies and improve results.
• Routinely report to advisors and committees on policy activities, campaigns and events, providing quantitative and qualitative analyses to support their oversight and engagement.
• Ensure compliance with all legal and lobbying requirements, as appropriate.

Who You Are

The incoming Head of Policy & Market Transformation will be driven by a belief in, and commitment to, Rewiring America’s vision and mission. Through their track record and expertise as a policy innovator, and as a proven coalition- and team-builder, the successful candidate will develop and drive federal and sub-national policy agendas that generate policy wins to support Rewiring’s market transformation and movement building efforts.

The Organization

Habitat for Humanity Chicago (Habitat Chicago) is a nonprofit organization that works to champion healthy neighborhoods by investing in resident priorities, supporting homeownership and building quality homes. We believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live and we invite people of all backgrounds, races, and religions to work toward this vision together in our focus neighborhoods of West Pullman, Greater Grand Crossing, and Austin.

Position Overview

The Programs Director champions and leads Habitat Chicago’s strategic direction: To promote healthy, vibrant neighborhoods that provide decent places to live for their residents.

The Programs Director manages and mentors a team of 17 with five direct reports – Real Estate and Build Manager, Volunteer Programs Manager, Homeownership Programs Manager, Community Partnerships Manager, and Programs Coordinator.

Habitat Chicago’s investments currently include loan origination and new home construction for affordable homeownership, loan preparation and homeownership education, community grantmaking, and volunteer development. We believe in inclusivity and quality, emphasizing both across all efforts. These comprehensive programs must work in concert to ensure collective impact. Collective impact will be more purposeful going forward as we shift to a coalition-centered strategy – either joining formal coalitions that are driving quality of life plans or sparking coalition development. This shift requires that we act in the best interest of the coalition’s plan and align outputs to the coalition’s planned goals. On the horizon for the Programs Team includes expanding investments in existing programs, entering the Austin neighborhood, and designing and delivering additional programs (e.g., home repairs, rehabs, realtor relations, etc.).
