At the IESO, it’s not just what we do—it’s who we are! 

Who we are

Our central role includes managing the provincial power grid in real-time, overseeing and evolving Ontario’s electricity market, engaging with government, municipalities and Indigenous communities, and planning for Ontario’s future electricity needs. Our employees play a key role in driving grid innovation, protecting the system from threats, advancing the province’s energy conservation programs, and forecasting and procuring the electricity resources we’ll need in the decades to come.

3. Maintaining relationships with key internal and external stakeholder groups and assessing industry trends to recommend ways to improve marketing effectiveness.
4. Overseeing marketing vendors by ensuring effective vendor relationships, developing and managing statements of work, and delivering campaigns on time and on budget.
5. Ensuring vendors and internal teams are appropriately briefed and supported to create compelling marketing creative, and identifying opportunities to leverage shared marketing approaches, channels and assets across Save on Energy and the IESO.

9. Supervising staff by planning and coordinating work, assigning responsibilities, and providing guidance, training, coaching, and mentorship; monitor performance and work quality; communicate progress and resource needs to the Senior Manager; support staffing decisions and employee development to ensure the quality and accuracy of marketing and advertising materials.

In a typical day, you may review marketing creative, brief our creative agency on upcoming campaigns, coordinate with program teams on new programs or program changes, and oversee the development of web and social media content. You may also work with corporate communications colleagues to identify opportunities for greater alignment across IESO marketing initiatives and channels, review quarterly marketing reports to develop recommendations for improvement, or meet with vendors and local distribution companies to discuss marketing effectiveness.
