OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking to hire a Water Resources Senior Associate to join our Domestic (US-based) Portfolio team. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to meet the climate imperative and address critical water issues in California. If you have experience successfully managing performance-driven water projects and sustaining client relationships, we need you to lead an essential... part of EI’s work. Consider
• Are you good at managing relationships to get projects done?
• Have you been envisioning something greater than your current organization or supervisor can see?
• Are you culturally sensitive and ready to help underserved communities benefit from and shape environmental programs?
• Do you want to lead measurable change for climate adaptation and achieve-on-the-ground impact in Southern California and the West?
PURPOSE & NEED
The Water Resources Senior Associate will be a client-focused project manager, managing relationships with our municipal water clients and delivering performance-driven water programs. You will work closely EI’s Domestic Portfolio Director, with guidance from two other Senior Associates, to learn client needs, offer compelling solutions, and collaboratively help to deliver our largest domestic programs and projects.
Our clients include counties and cities that are taking direct action to conserve water and protect watersheds by reducing bacteria pollution, removing non-functional turf grass, and developing multi-benefit alternative compliance programs. We have built a private-property incentive payment program that has rapidly outpaced others across the West, and we are eager to see it grow. This high-performing program has already resulted in additional funding from state and local governments. A critical part of this next phase of growth will be to focus on serving a diverse set of underrepresented communities, both incorporating their perspectives and needs into program design, and ensuring they receive the intended benefits of the program.
If you are inspired by implementing an incentive-driven vision for sustainable water resource management in California, and in defining your own career potential, please apply.
About Environmental Incentives
At Environmental Incentives, our purpose is to create the conditions for human and natural communities to thrive. We do this by helping our partners improve the performance of conservation and development programs. Our clients trust us to design and support implementation of programs that (1) use evidence to develop effective strategies within complex systems, (2) center local stakeholder experiences and facilitate collective action, and (3) produce results that support learning about what works. Environmental Incentives is a certified B Corporation with offices located in Washington, DC, South Lake Tahoe, San Diego, Nairobi, and Lima (pending registration). Our remote staff and consultants are based in multiple states within the United States, and across five continents.
RESPONSIBILITIES
EI Senior Associates have strong consulting skills that they can apply to solve our clients’ most challenging problems. Senior Associates independently scope and develop high-quality and insightful products, and move overall work streams or small projects from conceptualization to final delivery with input from more senior staff at the scoping and review stages. They supplement their deep technical knowledge in one or more areas of EI’s service offerings, with strong performance in work process management and communicating effectively.

We are seeking to hire a Water Resources Senior Associate to join our Domestic (US-based) Portfolio team. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to meet the climate imperative and address critical water issues in California. If you have experience successfully managing performance-driven water projects and sustaining client relationships, we need you to lead an essential... part of EI’s work. Consider
• Are you good at managing relationships to get projects done?
• Have you been envisioning something greater than your current organization or supervisor can see?
• Are you culturally sensitive and ready to help underserved communities benefit from and shape environmental programs?
• Do you want to lead measurable change for climate adaptation and achieve-on-the-ground impact in Southern California and the West?
PURPOSE & NEED
The Water Resources Senior Associate will be a client-focused project manager, managing relationships with our municipal water clients and delivering performance-driven water programs. You will work closely EI’s Domestic Portfolio Director, with guidance from two other Senior Associates, to learn client needs, offer compelling solutions, and collaboratively help to deliver our largest domestic programs and projects.
Our clients include counties and cities that are taking direct action to conserve water and protect watersheds by reducing bacteria pollution, removing non-functional turf grass, and developing multi-benefit alternative compliance programs. We have built a private-property incentive payment program that has rapidly outpaced others across the West, and we are eager to see it grow. This high-performing program has already resulted in additional funding from state and local governments. A critical part of this next phase of growth will be to focus on serving a diverse set of underrepresented communities, both incorporating their perspectives and needs into program design, and ensuring they receive the intended benefits of the program.
If you are inspired by implementing an incentive-driven vision for sustainable water resource management in California, and in defining your own career potential, please apply.
