at VEIC

🏢 About VEIC

VEIC is a mission-driven organization focused exclusively on developing and implementing innovative clean energy solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike many companies where sustainability is just one department, VEIC's entire business model revolves around creating measurable environmental impact through practical programs. Working here means contributing directly to climate solutions while being part of a team that values both technical excellence and social responsibility.

About This Role

As Senior Program Manager at VEIC, you'll lead the implementation of complex clean energy programs that directly reduce carbon emissions while managing substantial budgets and ensuring exceptional customer experiences. This role translates VEIC's strategic climate goals into actionable work plans, requiring you to balance operational excellence with innovative problem-solving in the evolving clean energy landscape. Your success will be measured by both program performance metrics and the real-world environmental impact of the initiatives you manage.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing program performance dashboards against both budget and emissions reduction targets, leading a cross-functional meeting to address implementation challenges for a residential energy efficiency program, analyzing variance reports to adjust resource allocation, and collaborating with technical teams to incorporate new clean energy technologies into program design. You'll balance strategic planning with hands-on problem-solving while ensuring every decision aligns with VEIC's mission of measurable environmental impact.
