Board Member at State Water Resources Control Board

Come work with me!! We are recruiting an Executive Assistant position, who will be working with Board Member Sean Maguire and me. It is an Associate Government Program Analyst (AGPA) permanent position, hybrid schedule, so a really good entry into state service. It requires a college degree and at least 30 months of work experience. Salary is $5,684.00 - $7,114.00 per Month. The application period closes May 31st so we need candidates to apply really soon. This job requires someone that is very organized and detail oriented, comfortable with complex meeting and travel scheduling within the agency’s systems, has good judgement, an ability to herd cats, and problem solve. And importantly for me, I hope to find someone that is fun to work with and cares about the mission of the waterboards and the communities we serve. This is the one staff I get to work with regularly so I would love to find someone great. Candidates do NOT need subject matter expertise, but it is an opportunity to be providing support inside state water decision-making. Here is some additional info on what I see as the opportunities with this position for someone that is interested in water policy: -Get an in-depth look at how water policy is made at the highest level in California on issues ranging from: -Implementation of the Human Right to Water, including funding, assistance, research and enforcement strategies to ensure all Californians can access safe, reliable and affordable drinking water. -Water rights administration, regulations, and adjudications as we chart pathways to bring in racial equity and adaptation to climate change. -Water quality regulatory program development and oversight of major polluting sources from agriculture, to stormwater, to aging sewer systems, in a time of climate change and exacerbated wealth inequality. -Investment of billions of dollars in grants and loans to transform water and wastewater systems to meet challenges of climate change and address decades of disinvestment in communities of color. -Support decision-makers to oversee major initiative to advance racial equity throughout the waterboards work. -Develop talking points and presentations, research policy questions, engage with key stakeholders to advance policy priorities of Board Member Maguire and me. However, this is primarily scheduling and administrative support, including prepping materials and follow up for meetings with stakeholders for both Board Member Maguire and me. So this isn’t a good fit for someone that doesn’t want to do that support work. Again, it closes May 31st so we need candidates to apply really soon! Please help spread the word!
