• Ensure strong governance through regulatory filings, compliance reporting, and performance tracking
• Identify and evaluate new opportunities, including development of business cases for emerging initiatives
• Foster a high-performance culture by mentoring, developing, and empowering your team

What it takes:

• A Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field plus 12+ years of progressive experience in program design, marketing, business development, or communications. A combination of education and experience may be considered
• Experience in demand side management (DSM), energy or utilities, and managing in a unionized environment are assets.
• Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and Project Management Professional (PMP) designations are assets.
• Strong strategic thinking with proven ability to lead, influence, and build high-performing teams
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, relationship-building skills, advanced problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making abilities

• Knowledge of energy efficiency, conservation principles, and electric/gas technologies with an understanding of regulatory environments, compliance, and policy impacts
• Skilled in performance measurement, continuous improvement, and change management
