  • Procurement/program administration – implement and supervise procurement processes, ensuring that all obligations are fulfilled in accordance with procurement/contract requirements, culminating in successful execution of contracts, and, as needed, manage assigned contractual obligations
  • Support infrastructure – develop, manage, and enhance procurement initiative infrastructure, including proposal evaluation tools, prescribed forms and program specific website that will be used by the public to interact with IESO and as the main method of receiving program content.
  • Stakeholder relations – internally with various business units (, Planning, Regulatory Affairs, Legal Affairs, Markets, System Operations, Indigenous Relations and the Market Renewal Program team); externally with Government and its agencies, such as the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, and with external stakeholders
  • External Resources – as required, source, secure and manage the work of external consultants (, legal, economic, / technical, auditing, etc.)
  • Team Efforts – supervise project teams comprised of IESO staff and external staff, as required

  • Perform other duties as required
  • What you need to succeed

    Education:

  • The knowledge required for the job is considered to be normally acquired through the successful completion of a 4-year university education or the equivalent in a science, engineering, math or business discipline.
  • Experience:

  • What's in it for you

  • A comprehensive total rewards program, including best-in-class benefits and a flexible workplace
  • A challenging, fast-paced and collaborative team environment, where your perspectives and experiences matter
  • Leaders who support your growth and success through regular feedback and coaching
