Manager – Utility Rates & Financial Consulting

Lakewood, CO (Hybrid)

NewGen Strategies & Solutions is a management consulting firm with offices nationwide. We specialize in three core practices (Energy, Water, and Solid Waste), providing strategic insight and practical solutions to help our clients achieve their goals.

Our vision is to be the consulting company that makes a difference for our clients, our employees, and our communities. Guided by our core values—make an impact, foster innovation, expect quality, cultivate community, and be a trusted advisor—we are committed to excellence in everything we do.

At NewGen, our employees are our greatest asset, and every team member, at every level, has a voice.

The Role

We're hiring a Manager to lead rate, financial, and regulatory engagements for utility clients across our Energy, Water, and Solid Waste practices. You'll manage projects from start to finish, mentor a team of analysts and consultants, and serve as a trusted advisor to utilities, municipalities, and boards.

Consulting experience is always a plus, but it isn't required. Some of our strongest people came from utilities, public utility commissions, consumer advocate offices, and public-sector finance. If you've built cost-of-service models, designed rates, prepared a revenue requirement, or supported testimony, we want to hear from you.

We're looking for SOLVERS: people who approach challenges with curiosity and enjoy solving complex problems.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage utility rate, financial planning, and regulatory engagements, including scope, workplan, staffing, budget, and schedule
Develop and oversee cost-of-service studies, revenue requirement analyses, rate design, and long-term financial forecasts
Review utility financial statements to assess financial performance and the adequacy of current and proposed rates
Analyze regulatory filings, testimony, and commission decisions, and support clients in regulatory proceedings
Review and QA/QC work products to make sure they're accurate, defensible, and ready for clients
Supervise, train, and mentor junior staff, including coaching, feedback, and performance evaluations
Present findings to clients, city councils, utility boards, and stakeholder groups through reports, memos, and presentations
Lead and support business development, including proposals, pursuit strategy, and building long-term client relationships
Collaborate with colleagues across NewGen's Energy, Water, and Solid Waste practices

Required Qualifications

Undergraduate degree or higher in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Engineering, Business Administration, Public Policy, or another quantitative field
7 or more years of experience in utility rates, regulatory analysis, utility finance, or consulting. Experience at a utility, a regulatory agency, or a consulting firm all counts.
Hands-on experience with cost-of-service analysis, rate design, revenue requirements, or financial forecasting
Experience leading projects, workstreams, or teams, and managing deadlines and priorities
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, plus Word and PowerPoint

Preferred Qualifications

Experience preparing or supporting expert witness testimony or regulatory filings
Consulting or client-facing advisory experience
Business development or proposal experience
Master's degree (MBA, MS Finance, MPA, Economics, or related)
Experience with Power BI, Python, R, or other data analysis tools

Additional qualities include:

The ability to explain complex technical analysis clearly to non-technical audiences
Exceptional attention to detail
Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines at once

Base compensation of $111,900 – $140,000, depending on experience and qualifications
