🏢 About EVgo

EVgo is a leader in the rapidly growing EV charging infrastructure sector, operating one of the nation's largest public fast charging networks. What makes EVgo unique is its mission-driven focus on making EV charging convenient, reliable, and affordable for everyone, positioning it at the forefront of the clean energy transition. Working here offers the opportunity to directly contribute to accelerating electric vehicle adoption while being part of a company with tangible impact on sustainable transportation.

About This Role

As a Senior Analyst in Strategy & Analytics at EVgo, you'll be responsible for modeling network expansion tradeoffs, supporting strategic deployment plans, and developing data infrastructure to optimize charging station placement and operations. This role is impactful because your analysis directly influences where EVgo builds its charging infrastructure, affecting the company's growth, customer experience, and competitive positioning in the critical EV charging market.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing spatial data in GIS to model potential charging station locations, running SQL queries in Snowflake to assess network performance metrics, and developing Python scripts for demand forecasting. You'd likely collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine expansion plans, prepare executive briefings on market opportunities, and work on improving data infrastructure to support more adaptive market analysis.

🎯 Who EVgo Is Looking For

  • Has 3-5 years of experience specifically in EV infrastructure, utility/energy planning, or operations research with practical applications in spatial analysis and network optimization
  • Demonstrates strong technical proficiency in SQL/Snowflake, Python, GIS/spatial data tools, and Excel modeling for complex business scenarios
  • Can translate complex analytical findings into clear executive briefings and actionable frameworks for cross-functional teams
  • Possesses experience with agentic models and innovative approaches to market demand analysis beyond traditional top-down methods

📝 Tips for Applying to EVgo

1

Highlight specific experience with EV charging infrastructure, utility planning, or spatial network optimization in your resume - EVgo needs domain expertise, not just general analytics skills

2

Include concrete examples of how you've used SQL/Snowflake, Python, and GIS tools to solve business problems, preferably with metrics showing impact

3

Demonstrate your ability to simplify complexity by including a brief case study or project summary showing how you translated data into executive-ready frameworks

4

Research EVgo's current charging network in Los Angeles and be prepared to discuss how you'd approach expansion modeling in that specific market

5

Show familiarity with agentic models or innovative demand forecasting approaches - mention any relevant experience even if it's from adjacent industries

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
