Life at Invest Ottawa

We offer a flexible and innovative work environment which fosters personal and professional growth. Our organization is fortunate to have recent hires working alongside veteran employees; some who have been with Invest Ottawa for over two decades!

Acting as the lead economic development agency for the city of Ottawa, there are endless ways to work with businesses, entrepreneurs, our three levels of government, post-secondary institutions and many more community partners.

Invest Ottawa works out of the innovation centre at Bayview Yards. Located in the incredible Hintonburg, one of the city’s most exciting and up-and-coming neighborhoods, we are at the heart of some of the most transformational development projects in Ottawa’s history (Zibi, Lebreton Flats and LRT to name a few).

Invest Ottawa is a rallying point for local businesses and entrepreneurs. Whether they sell racks of clothes or lines of code, we do our best to help all brands accomplish their goals locally and abroad.

And we are always looking for kind, passionate and driven individuals to help us achieve this.
