About the Energy Furues Lab
The Energy Futures Lab (EFL, the Lab) is an Alberta-based coalition of innovators and leading organizations working together to advance solutions aligned with our vision and mission for Canada's energy future. The Lab was created in 2015 as a response to polarization on energy issues, which landed Alberta's energy system at the centre of a complex, fragmented and divisive debate. As a social innovation lab, we address these issues by collaborating across traditional, organizational and sectoral boundaries.

This role offers the opportunity to promote the Lab as a trusted hub for collaboration, build meaningful relationships with funders and partners, and secure the resources needed to grow our impact. As part of the senior leadership team, you will play a key role in helping shape Lab strategy, amplify its voice, and ensure our work continues to inspire and mobilize across sectors.
