Based in the Vancouver area, this role is accountable for program delivery, financial performance, and client satisfaction across complex energy efficiency programs for commercial and industrial participants.

This role ensures that program delivery consistently meets contractual obligations while also aligning with client and participant expectations.
This position is highly client‑facing and strategic, with full ownership of program financial health and client relationships. The role is primarily remote with periodic in‑person client meetings and limited travel.

- Identify risks, performance gaps, and participant challenges, developing proactive solutions.
- Analyze program data to support internal decision‑making and client reporting.
- Anticipate client needs to keep programs proactive rather than reactive.
- Own all program contracting activities, including scope definition, amendments, and ensuring alignment between contracts and delivery.
- Participate in periodic in‑person client meetings and limited travel as required.
- Travel occasionally to other provinces (approximately 2–3 times per year) for meetings, conferences, or training.
Exciting candidates will have…
- Experience managing energy efficiency or utility‑funded programs.
- Direct experience working with utility clients and DSM programs.
