Job Posting: Public Utilities Regulatory Analyst V

http://www.jobs.ca.gov/CalHrPublic/Jobs/JobPosting.aspx?JobControlId=132193

Job Description and Duties

Under the general direction of a Program & Project Supervisor, this Public Utilities Regulatory Analyst V (PURA V) will be assigned responsibility over issues related to video service and broadband infrastructure and usage with the highest scope of complexity, sensitivity and controversy. This position will be located within the Video Franchising and Broadband Deployment Group.

This PURA V serves as the Commission’s lead technical and policy analyst responsible for a variety of the Group’s most complex and sensitive analytical assignments regarding video franchising, broadband infrastructure and competition within California. The incumbent will also provide expert advice regarding advanced communications technologies, issues of convergence in the communications and broadband areas, and specifically work on ensuring the Commission’s processes do not act as a barrier to video competition and broadband deployment in California. These issues will have significant attention from external stakeholders, including Executive and Legislative decision makers, service providers, local entities and the media. The analysis to be undertaken may use moderate to advanced statistical methods. The incumbent will be expected to present the findings and propose appropriate policy recommendations to Commission management and decision makers clearly and concisely either verbally or in writing.

The assignments will include being a senior or lead analyst to support the Video Franchise Group’s assessment of video programming services, broadband infrastructure and subscribership levels, research in advanced technologies on which broadband and video services rely, the variety and availability of, and subscribership to, various video and broadband products in California, research surrounding the composition of services offered to consumers purchasing video programming and broadband products, and researching and providing support to other state agencies involved in supporting video programming service, broadband deployment and broadband-based programs. The incumbent will also work closely with Administrative Law Judges (ALJ) and Commissioners’ offices. Topics particularly include regulatory, legislative and judicial actions at both the state and federal level to review and reshape broadband and video policy, policies regarding the deployment of facilities (such as access to utility support structures and rights of way) and policies regarding industry structures in support of competitive markets. Work will require high-level analyses to evaluate, for example, the state of the broadband and video marketplaces and types of policy recommendations which will effectively expand video service competition, broadband penetration and digital access in California, and eliminate the Digital Divide.

The incumbent is expected to work independently as a team leader, or part of a team, supporting ALJs and decision makers in major proceedings, conducting workshops and preparing reports, conducting research and studies on pending issues, and presenting findings and recommendations to management and Commission decision makers. The incumbent may also interact with consumers, local government and industry representatives. The PURA V’s work expertise should cover a complex synthesis of economics, finance, telecommunications, cable, and information services law, the government, private, and non-profit marketplaces for video and broadband services and other advanced technology and technology applications, and the practical intersection of video service and broadband infrastructure. In addition, the incumbent may also be involved in other related projects and assignments as necessary.

This PURA will undertake work assignments and tasks to help the Legislature, Commissioners, other policymakers and the public understand, develop and/or evaluate various video service and broadband-related policy issues.
