About Kambo Energy Group Kambo Energy Group is a certified minority-owned social enterprise founded in 2009 that is advancing equitable access to energy, transportation, and housing programs through scalable, community-led models. Through partnerships with utilities, governments, Indigenous and Tribal Nations across North America, our team designs and delivers programs and approaches co-created with historically underserved populations. Our award-winning approach centers community priorities by hiring locally, empowering stakeholders, and amplifying lived experience.

In addition to custom client solutions, Kambo delivers three in-house programs: Empower Me, Community Power, and the Home Upgrades Program.

Community

Power is Kambo’s Indigenous housing and energy division, partnering exclusively with Indigenous Nations to advance community priorities and turn complex needs into practical, funded projects. We bring together assessments, portfolio planning, project design, funding navigation and construction delivery to create a clear path from identified need to completed improvements. Working alongside Nation leadership, housing teams, residents, funders and delivery partners, we turn housing priorities into defined scopes, realistic budgets, funding strategies and coordinated implementation.

Over the last 15 years, Community Power has partnered with more than 70 Indigenous Nations and organizations, completed thousands of assessments, designed hundreds of programs and projects, and supported millions of dollars in housing upgrades and new home construction.

As Community

Power’s Community Partnerships & Funding Manager, you will build and strengthen relationships with Indigenous Nations, funders, utilities and partners, understand the goals they are trying to advance, and help move Nation priorities toward funded, implementation-ready projects.



Strong projects can stall because the funding path is unclear, the right people are not connected, or no one owns the next step. You will connect Nation priorities with the right expertise, funding pathways and project design, then create the momentum needed to move strong projects into implementation for our Nation partners.

You will work alongside an experienced team with deep expertise in Indigenous housing, construction, building science, energy, project design and delivery. You will have strong technical and delivery expertise around you, with a team that approaches complex problems practically and works together to find a way forward.

Your role brings the relationship strength, funding knowledge, organization and persistence that helps connect that expertise with Nation goals.

Success in this role is tangible: stronger Nation relationships, funding secured for priority work, projects moving into delivery, and more housing priorities becoming real improvements for Indigenous families and communities across Canada.

Community Partnerships

Build and maintain strong relationships with Indigenous Nations, Housing Managers, leadership, staff and community partners. Work alongside Nation partners to understand changing goals and priorities, and identify practical ways Community Power can support them. Maintain relationships beyond individual projects so trust, knowledge, and momentum carry forward into future priorities and opportunities.

Funding Management





Build direct, trusted relationships with government, utility and other funding and program representatives to ensure Community Power understands opportunities early and can navigate them effectively.

Connect

Represent

Kambo’s Community Power division confidently with Nations, funders, utilities, partners and industry organizations, including at conferences, workshops and public forums. Work with Community Power’s Operations teams to turn Nation priorities into strong scopes of work, funding strategies and implementation plans, and carry the relationships, context and commitments through to delivery excellence. You are organized, dependable and persistent, and comfortable managing multiple relationships and opportunities at once.

Are confident building relationships with different people and organizations. Communicate clearly in meetings, presentations and written materials. You may come from Indigenous housing, community or economic development, government, utilities, energy, construction, consulting, program delivery, partnerships or another relevant background.
