Sustainability and Resilience Analyst; Management Analyst

Sustainability And Resilience Analyst (Sr. Management Analyst)

The City of Alameda is a recognized leader in climate action and resilience and has made substantial progress advancing climate planning and implementation. The Sustainability and Resilience Division updated the City's Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP) in 2025 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. Building on this foundation, the City is developing a comprehensive Shoreline Adaptation Plan and advancing priority adaptation projects to protect critical infrastructure, neighborhoods, and natural resources from sea level rise, storm surge, liquefaction and groundwater rise risks.

Alameda staff also lead and coordinate with Oakland Alameda Adaptation Committee (OAAC), a regional collaboration recognized for innovative adaptation leadership and best practice sharing across local jurisdictions. The Sustainability and Resilience Division is also supporting efforts related to adaptation for heat, tsunami, earthquakes, drought, poor air quality and other hazards through its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and focusing on greenhouse gas reduction efforts outlined in the CARP including expanding electric vehicle adoption and building decarbonization.

The ideal Sustainability and Resilience Analyst (Sr. Management Analyst) candidate will play a key role in advancing these next-phase efforts, including managing the development of sea level rise capital projects to develop and refine design concepts, complete environmental clearance, permitting, managing consultants, supporting community engagement, pursuing and administering grant funding, and coordinating across departments and with regional agencies. This position will also provide high-level support for climate mitigation initiatives such as overseeing GHG inventory updates, clean transportation efforts (including public EV charger deployment), building decarbonization efforts, supporting implementation tracking for CARP strategies, and coordinating with other departments and functions across the City on priority initiatives.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrated expertise in climate mitigation measures, shoreline adaptation, stormwater or flooding planning, project management and project development, including experience with grant writing and administration, contract management, project design, implementation, and oversight. This position requires coordination with internal and external stakeholders and equitable community engagement, providing highly responsible professional support to the Sustainability and Resilience Manager.

The ideal candidate will be highly collaborative, creative, strategic, detail-oriented and enthusiastic about working with the Alameda community to advance our climate goals.
