The Clean Energy Transition Institute (CETI) seeks an Executive Director to lead the organization into its next chapter. CETI has established itself as a trusted source of independent, nonpartisan research and analysis working to accelerate an equitable clean energy transition in the Northwest. The need for rigorous analysis at the state and regional level is growing and CETI is uniquely positioned to illuminate solutions and engage stakeholders in fact-based conversations about the opportunities and tradeoffs ahead.

CETI’s founding Executive Director built something durable — a respected research institution with a talented team, a sound financial foundation, and a hard-won reputation for credibility across sectors that don’t always agree. The next leader will inherit all of that, and will have genuine latitude to shape what CETI becomes: what it prioritizes, how it grows, and what role it plays in one of the most consequential periods for clean energy in the Northwest’s history.

We’re looking for a leader who is deeply committed to the clean energy transition and knows the landscape well enough to lead a specialized research organization with authority; a fundraiser and relationship-builder who can cultivate and grow a funding base; a strategic thinker who can read the ecosystem and make disciplined bets on where CETI’s work moves the needle; and a team leader who can build trust quickly with a talented, mission-driven team. If you are energized by the opportunity to build, not just manage, and are ready to help shape what CETI becomes next, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a full-time salaried position requiring some travel throughout the four Northwest states. The expected salary range is between $155,000 – $175,000, depending on qualifications and experience.

CETI offers fully employer-paid medical and dental premiums, generous paid time off including an end-of-year closure, transit benefits, a Simple IRA with up to 3% employer match, and a sabbatical program after six years.
