About The Position

The Projects and Financial Management team within the Government Funding Office (GFO) partners with subject matter experts across PG&E to plan, execute, and manage government‑funded awards—including loans, grants, and contracts. The GFO administers PG&E’s $15B loan with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), delivering $1B in customer savings while maintaining strict compliance with all loan requirements. As a member of this team, you will work closely with talented and mission-driven colleagues across Finance, Major Projects, Procurement, Environmental, Legal, and Policy to ensure successful award execution and compliance. Our work enables California’s economic prosperity while helping reduce customer costs. Together, we deliver outcomes that create long‑term value for both customers and investors. The Senior Program Manager will play a critical role in identifying, vetting, and submitting PG&E projects for inclusion in PG&E’s DOE loan. This role requires the ability to collaborate effectively with Project Managers, Program Managers, Environmental teams, and Procurement partners to gather and synthesize the data and documentation required for loan and grant submissions. In addition, this role will support continuously improving our processes for submitting DOE loan projects and ongoing compliance – and support enhancements to dashboards. This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and PG&E’s Oakland-based headquarters on business needs or company requirements.
