Responsibilities

• Create a repository for compliance support materials, in conjunction with the Procurement, Tax, and Legal departments.
• Coordinate with the Procurement, Construction, and Operation and Maintenance departments to identify, collect, verify, and review necessary information for tax credit compliance associated with base credits (including beginning of construction, valuation information, PWA exemptions, or PWA compliance information), and DC and Energy Communities additional credits.
• Conduct and create periodic reports to identify completeness of recordkeeping (and any potential non-compliance gaps) regarding records retention, particularly with respect to the PWA requirements, to cure any identified defects.

• Report IRA compliance status and risk assessments to executive management in a timely and accurate fashion.

• Coordinate with other departments on reporting incidents of non-compliance.

Experience Requirements

• Strong communication and presentation skills, particularly in conveying complex rules and requirements to general audiences.
