Loblaw Digital is the team responsible for building and operating the online businesses of Canada’s largest and most successful retailer.

• Partner and collaborate with product, technology, business, and cross-functional partners to support business objectives through plan definition management, delivery management, proactive resolution of project risks/issues, and cross-functional roadmap efficiencies
• Drive technical delivery and lead technical program management by bringing teams together to proactively plan and align on strategies that are both interim solutions, and long-term investments

What you'll need

• Leadership ability handling critical initiatives and the inter-dependencies between multiple workstreams, teams, and outcomes using agile/scrum methodologies while driving clear action and ownership
• 5 years of experience leading and launching large-scale customer facing eCommerce projects across web and mobile technologies (GCP preferred)
