Pay: $161,700 – $242,600 

Join the Clean Energy Revolution

Become a Senior Advisor, Strategic Planning within Southern California Edison’s Customer Solutions organization and help shape the future of California’s clean energy programs. In this role, you’ll create strategy across SCE’s portfolio of customer programs—including Demand Flexibility, Transportation Electrification (including V2G), Demand Response, Customer Generation, Building Electrification, and Energy Efficiency. You’ll help translate long‑term vision into integrated, actionable portfolio direction by connecting grid and customer objectives, market intelligence, and regulatory dynamics to inform our priorities and upcoming program applications that advance SCE’s 2045 clean energy goals.

This is a high‑impact advisory role on a small, highly visible team. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, Directors, regulators, and external partners to tackle complex questions, develop executive‑ready insights, and advance strategic initiatives in a regulated environment. The role is ideal for someone who enjoys thinking through hard problems, can synthesize information quickly, and wants their ideas to influence decisions that matter.

Successful candidates are curious, resourceful problem‑solvers who can learn new topics quickly, synthesize data into clear insights, communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders, and exercise sound judgment in ambiguity.
