Climate Smart San José leverages San José’s strength in innovation. As the capital of Silicon Valley, the Plan integrates the important role San José plays supporting emerging technology, and models innovative approaches to advance future climate solutions.

The City of San José has an exciting opportunity for a data analyst to develop and apply analytical tools and models to help track and reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG). The newly created analyst position will work in a small team focused on San José’s efforts on climate and support programs and initiatives to implement the Climate Smart Plan.

The ideal candidate will have experience with analyzing, synthesizing and communicating technical findings in a clear and concise manner. In addition, the analyst should have excellent written and oral communication skills; the ability to prioritize and execute tasks in an environment with changing needs and critical deadlines; and the ability to take initiative and work independently with broad strategic guidance, as well as in support of and in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

Responsibilities may include but are not limited to: maintaining the Climate Smart performance metric dashboard, collecting data and compiling reports, developing and recommending additional/enhanced indicators; provide analytical assistance, including quantitative and qualitative data analysis; data tool creation and maintenance of the Climate Smart Model; the technical research and evaluation of industry and internal best practices in GHG management and the development of the City’s GHG inventory.

This recruitment may be used to fill multiple positions in this, or other divisions or departments. If you are interested in employment in this classification, you should apply to ensure you are considered for additional opportunities that may utilize the applicants from this recruitment.
