Job Description

The California Water Data Consortium (Consortium), a nonprofit organization that supports data informed water management decisions in California, is looking for qualified individual to fill the position of Senior Program Manager to support the Consortium’s Telemetered Water Data Project. The Consortium was formed in 2019 to support implementation of the Open and Transparent Water Data Act (AB 1755, Dodd). The Consortium empowers cross-sector collaboration, partnership with the state, and innovation to ensure that state and local agencies, Tribes, nongovernmental organizations, researchers, and the public can readily access and use the high-quality data necessary to sustainably manage water for the benefit of everyone living and working in California.

The Telemetered Diversion Data Project includes analysis, literature review, interviews, workshop hosting, and other work to support the development of data recommendations to support a State Water Resources Control Board pilot project for collection and reporting of telemetered diversion data to the State.

The Senior Program Manager for Telemetered Data will be responsible for guiding the collaborative development of recommendations to support reporting of telemetered diversion data to the State of California. This two-year project will include the development of watershed specific and scalable recommendations based on research from other jurisdictions, interviews, focus groups, and other analyses. This is an exempt full-time position for the project duration. Renewal of the position will be contingent on funding. The Senior Program Manager will report to the Consortium’s Chief Executive Officer.

Location: This role will function primarily as a remote, work from home, position with travel for meetings, interviews, or other convenings in Sacramento or other parts of California. The candidate must be based in California. Travel is estimated to be between 10-20% of total project time depending on meeting frequency and duration, and location.
