📋 Description

• The Recycling Programs Specialist leads key aspects in advancing Circular Action Alliance’s partnership with California jurisdictions as recycling programs are implemented under Senate Bill 54 (SB 54). • Advise local governments on program participation requirements, documentation expectations, reimbursement-related processes, and ongoing implementation activities. • Drive contract lifecycle activities, data integrity, operational assessments, and documentation required for SB 54 program implementation and reimbursement. • Engage assigned California jurisdictions by conducting outreach, responding to questions, coordinating meetings, and tracking follow-up actions. • Validate jurisdiction-provided data related to recycling programs, including operational data, and cost documentation. • Maintain accurate records, trackers, and supporting documentation to facilitate reimbursement review and audit readiness. • Prepare summaries of jurisdiction feedback and implementation risks for manager and leadership review.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Sustainability, Environmental Studies, Public Administration, Planning, or a closely related field. • Five or more years of relevant professional experience in recycling programs, solid waste management, local government, sustainability programs, regulated program administration, or a related area. • Experience working with or supporting local governments, public agencies, or regulated programs is strongly preferred. • Ability to travel occasionally within California for meetings, workshops, or site visits. • Familiarity with SB 54, SB 1383, or other California recycling and waste regulations is a plus. • Prior experience supporting public-sector agreements, regulated program documentation, jurisdiction coordination, or stakeholder-facing program administration is a plus.
