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

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) you will manage technical eCommerce initiatives that span across multi-disciplinary teams (both internal at Loblaw Digital and externally with the broader enterprise).

  • 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 in our organization by bringing teams together to proactively plan and align on strategies that are both interim solutions, and long-term investments
  • Embrace our culture and drive collaboration, partnership, and excellence

Does This Sound Like You?

  • 3+ years of experience managing consumer facing eCommerce programs across web and mobile technologies
  • Strong inter-personal and communication skills including ability to work in a cross-functional environment, as well as communicate with all levels of the organization clearly and succinctly
  • Demonstrated skills and experience managing software development and/or eCommerce initiatives (retail experience an asset) leveraging agile/scrum methodologies while driving clear action and ownership
  • Forward, proactive, and strategic thinker with the ability to think outside of the box
  • Effective at communicating technical constructs and concepts to non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience managing projects: in cloud environments, especially Google Cloud Platform (GCP); ecommerce microservices design and delivery; requiring data engineering work, building data pipelines, and automating processes preferred

We’re able to keep innovating because our colleagues are passionate about their work and excited about the future of eCommerce. You will get to work with some of the best digital minds and will have the support of world class technologies to craft products our customers will love!
