The position requires knowledge of regulatory compliance programs, strong investigative and analytical skills, exceptional written and verbal communication abilities, and the ability to present to, align, and influence senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority.
PG&E is providing the salary range that the company in good faith believes it might pay for this position at the time of the job posting. This compensation range is specific to the locality of the job. The actual salary paid to an individual will be based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to, specific skills, education, licenses or certifications, experience, market value, geographic location, and internal equity.
