Summary of the Position
ECRE is seeking a versatile, self-directed, and highly organized ITC/PTC Program Manager to drive the end-to-end lifecycle of our Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit (PTC) initiatives for our hydropower portfolio. In this role, you will serve as the single point of accountability, bridging cross-functional inputs, and owning the qualification work and the evidence set that makes each facility’s credits defensible.

Schedule & Milestone Monitoring: Maintain a master program tracker to monitor critical path qualification milestones, ensuring that project execution timelines managed by the PM team align with tax deadlines and safe-harbor rules
Executive Reporting: Prepare clear, concise executive-level dashboards and status reports summarizing program health, qualification risks, and key decision points for leadership and ownership

Required:
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Finance, Project Management, Business, or a related technical/analytical field

Equivalent combinations of education, training, and experience may be considered where appropriate
