Circular Action Alliance is an organization working to create a circular economy for paper and packaging. It coordinates producer-funded recycling programs, submits program plans under extended producer responsibility laws (for example SB 54 in California), and invests in recycling access and responsible end markets. The organization provides resources for producers (registration, producer resource center, fee-setting consultation, steering committee) and is active in multiple U. S. states including California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Maine, Maryland and Minnesota.

📋 Description

• Conduct hands-on technical review of proposed reimbursement projects to assess feasibility, practicality, implementation readiness, and alignment with stated objectives. • Review funding requests for alignment with applicable EPR laws, regulations, program plan requirements, covered-cost criteria, and CAA reimbursement policies. • Assess whether proposed projects advance CAA’s strategic priorities, including regulatory compliance, improved recycling outcomes, operational effectiveness, equitable service delivery, system modernization, and measurable program value. • Review reimbursement applications and supporting materials to determine whether the proposed project is sufficiently defined for technical assessment. • Assess reimbursement applications to determine whether requested funding is technically justified, adequately documented, and connected to eligible program outcomes. • Work collaboratively across internal teams—including Legal, State level operations teams, Data & Analytics, Materials, Finance, Planning, and Compliance & Regulatory Affairs—to obtain inputs needed for technical, regulatory, operational, and financial review. • Conduct technical, regulatory, operational, and economic research needed to evaluate proposed projects and reimbursement requests. • Document review rationale, assumptions, unresolved issues, and recommendation basis in a clear and audit-ready manner. • Operate effectively in ambiguous, evolving environments by applying sound judgment, escalating material concerns, and distinguishing feasibility issues from documentation gaps. • Perform other related duties as assigned.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree required in engineering, environmental science, environmental studies, public administration, economics, data analytics, project management, or a related field. • Masters or advanced degree in engineering, environmental science, environmental studies, public administration, economics, data analytics, project management, or a related field preferred. • 7+ years of relevant professional experience in technical project review, infrastructure or operations assessment, recycling or solid waste programs, regulated funding programs, reimbursement review, project analysis, or similar fields. • Experience evaluating project scopes, costs, feasibility, regulatory alignment, implementation plans, or technical documentation preferred. • Experience with EPR programs, recycling systems, municipal operations, public-sector funding programs, regulated programs, or application-based reimbursement processes preferred.
