Chief Executive Officer

THE OPPORTUNITY

Utah Clean Energy stands strong in this moment of extraordinary momentum and possibility. For nearly 25 years, we’ve built a reputation as one of Utah’s most effective and trusted voices for practical, bipartisan clean energy and climate solutions. 

Now, as Founder and CEO Sarah Wright prepares to pass the torch, the Board of Directors seeks a new Chief Executive Officer to carry this legacy forward and lead the organization into our next era of growth, innovation, and impact. 

This is an opportunity to lead a respected organization that has proven the power of collaboration over polarization and solutions over rhetoric. The next CEO will guide Utah Clean Energy as we deepen our impact in Utah and our influence across the Intermountain West  — expanding visibility, forging new partnerships, and mobilizing collective action to confront the defining challenge of our time. The new CEO will join a talented, mission-driven team with deep technical expertise and a shared belief in a bold, inspiring vision: a future that ensures healthy, thriving communities for all, empowered and sustained by clean energy.
