Manager of EPA Reporting & Compliance

At the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC), our mission is to drive investments in the clean economy to reduce emissions and improve the quality of life for all Americans. By leveraging public-private partnerships and responsive financing, we aim to eliminate barriers to clean technology and promote energy abundance in every community. Our work is guided by a commitment to accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies across the United States, with a special focus on supporting low-income and disadvantaged communities. For over a decade, CGC has led the Green Bank movement, working at the federal, state and local levels in the U.S. and countries around the world to unlock capital and empower communities to embrace a greener future. Together, we strive to build a sustainable future where clean power is accessible and affordable for everyone.

Our National Green Bank: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken a significant step toward a greener future by establishing the first U.S. national green bank through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). The EPA awarded the Coalition for Green Capital $5 billion to capitalize this national green bank under The National Clean Investment Fund competition, along with $125 million under Solar for All to foster the development of green banks and accelerate solar energy projects in North and South Dakota. Through strategic partnerships and innovative financing, our national green bank aims to create a robust clean energy finance ecosystem that addresses critical market gaps and maximizes the impact of every public dollar invested. This seed funding builds on CGC’s decade-long leadership in the Green Bank movement, which has already led to billions toward clean energy adoption, ensuring that the nation’s climate goals are met.

The Manager of EPA Reporting & Compliance will play a key role in the growth of the Operations & Compliance team, with a focus on the organization’s regulatory and EPA compliance and reporting efforts.  The Manager will be responsible for developing and delivering EPA reporting related to the GGRF and address other external and internal reporting needs. This individual will also help manage compliance requirements, develop standard operating procedures, and ensure alignment with federal regulations.  This high-visibility role will require collaboration across internal departments (e.g. Investments, Network and Finance), and with external partners, including CGC’s subrecipients, extensive network of local green banks and other strategic partners, to ensure adherence to the organization’s policies and procedures and terms and conditions of the EPA awards.  

The Manager will partner with the other groups within the Operations & Compliance department (e.g., Investment Operations and Strategic Analytics) to ensure that all EPA reporting and compliance metrics are collected and reported in an effective and efficient manner and that data is correctly incorporated into various management reports and dashboards.  The Manager will also compile information that is critical to demonstrate the achievement of CGC’s KPIs.   

The Manager will report to the Senior Director of EPA Reporting & Compliance. While the position is hybrid, it is highly preferred that the Manager of EPA Reporting & Compliance be based in New York, NY or Washington DC.
