We are seeking a Manager, Stakeholder Relations to own the relationships our projects depend on. This is a Toronto-based role with regular travel to our sites across Ontario, and occasional travel to British Columbia.

CarbonFree Technology Inc and its affiliates (“CarbonFree”) is one of the most successful solar developers in Canada. Headquartered in Toronto and active across Canada and the Americas for over two decades, we develop, finance, construct and operate utility-scale solar and battery storage projects. We hold a contracted portfolio of 484 MWp now heading into construction, won in Ontario’s competitive long-term procurement, with a further 1.5 GW of development pipeline behind it across Ontario and British Columbia. We are growing the team to match, and we are looking for talented people who want to help build and scale the next generation of clean energy infrastructure.

About the role

We are seeking a Manager, Stakeholder Relations to own the relationships our projects depend on. This is a Toronto-based role with regular travel to our sites across Ontario, and occasional travel to British Columbia.

We hold many thousands of acres under control across multiple renewable energy projects, with many dozens of active landowner relationships, neighbours, host municipalities and communities, and multiple First Nations partners across both provinces. We have projects commencing construction in 2027. Every one of those relationships currently sits with people who are also running permitting, land acquisition or construction. This role exists to own them properly.

You will be supported by our development, land and legal teams, and you will work closely with our SVP Project Development and our land acquisition lead.



For the right candidate there is a marketing element to the role as well, covering our website and the materials we put in front of communities. This is a place for doers who roll up their sleeves, adapt quickly, and take pride in creating clarity, rigor, and trust through their work.

Position summary

You will manage landowner, community and First Nations relationships across the entire portfolio of construction and development projects, keep those stakeholders properly informed, and make sure the agreements that depend on those relationships get concluded and signed. It is a role for someone who is as comfortable at a kitchen table as at a council meeting, and who understands that the difference between a project that gets built and one that does not is very often the quality of the relationships around it.

Key responsibilities

Landowner relations

- Own the relationship with our landowners across the portfolio, from first contact through option, lease, easement and into construction and operations.
- Drive outstanding land agreements to execution, working with our land and legal teams, and keep an accurate picture of what is signed, what is out and what is stuck.
- Be the person a landowner calls when something goes wrong on their property, and make sure it gets resolved.




- Build and maintain relationships with First Nations whose territories our projects touch, in Ontario and in British Columbia, and support the project teams in advancing partnership and participation discussions.
- Maintain the consultation record properly, because it is both the right thing to do and a document we will be asked to produce.
- Coordinate the materials our partners actually need, including project summaries prepared specifically for Indigenous communities.

Community and municipal relations

- Represent CarbonFree at council meetings, community sessions and open houses, supporting our SVP Project Development and our land acquisition lead rather than adding another layer between them and the community.
- Run the public consultation required under Ontario’s Renewable Energy Approval process, including notices, first and final public meetings, and the consultation reporting that follows.
- Build relationships with municipal staff, councillors and local organizations ahead of the moment we need something from them, not after.
- Be the person to both respond and proactively manage relationships with neighbours and impacted community members.
- Track and respond to community concerns, and make sure they reach the people inside CarbonFree who can act on them.

Communications and marketing

- Own our external communications materials, including the website, project fact sheets, community newsletters and presentation materials.
- Develop CarbonFree promotional materials and keep our public voice consistent across projects and provinces.

Reporting

- Report to the SVP Project Development, maintain the stakeholder register, and provide regular updates to the executive team on relationship risk a
