Our goal is to develop comprehensive electrification goals and strategies and create organizational efficiencies and alignment to drive one consistent electrification customer experience. The Principal Strategic Analyst will split their time (1) setting up and executing controls to run the business consistently across the organization and (2) leading cross-functional strategic initiatives to align and advance PG&E’s electrification and decarbonization strategy in alignment with the broader Strategy and Innovation (S&I) team’s strategies (e.g., Load Management, Innovation and Partnerships). This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and your assigned work location based on business need. The work location is Oakland, CA. PG&E is providing the full salary/pay range for this position.
