A leading Canadian CPG company is seeking a North American Omni-channel leader to shape its marketing strategy. This high-impact role involves developing profitable growth strategies and leading a team to execute initiatives across physical and digital channels, driving consumer engagement and retailer performance. The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of shopper marketing and eCommerce, along with proven leadership capabilities in a fast-paced environment. Competitive benefits are offered, including flexible health programs and a pension plan. #J-18808-Ljbffr
The Opportunity: As one of the only CPG companies headquartered in Canada, Maple Leaf Foods offers a rare marketing career advantage: the chance to shape strategy at the centre, not execute from a satellite office. This role is our North American Omni-channel leader, a visible, high-impact mandate with the latitude to design growth strategy, mobilize cross-functional leaders, and build a team of world-class executors. You will own the development and execution of profitable growth strategies grounded in a sound understanding of the 3Cs (Consumer/Customer, Competitors, Company) and the 4Ps (Product, Price, Promotion, Placement). You’ll partner closely with experts in Category, Revenue Growth Management, and Brand to lead our growth agenda across the US and Canada. Accountable for accelerating incremental revenue and profit growth across the US and Canada by owning the end-to-end path-to-purchase growth engine across physical retail and digital commerce. You will translate brand strategy into measurable conversion in the moments that matter: search, shelf, PDP, promo, cart, checkout, and repeat. This role evolves shopper marketing into a unified omnichannel capability that connects brand building, performance, and retail execution to deliver sustainable, profitable growth. Omnichannel transformation—on both the consumer and retailer side—is driving the need for this role: Shopping decisions increasingly happen before the store (search, social, retailer apps, ratings & reviews, “what’s on deal,” subscriptions/auto-refill) and will increasingly be influenced by algorithms and agents, not only traditional marketing levers. Retailers are now media networks. Winning requires best-in-class content, data, and always-on optimization, not just flyers and displays. Legacy shopper models are often campaign-based and in-store centric. Omnichannel requires full-funnel, continuous, measurable work that delivers ROI—beyond the store. Both still matter at Maple Leaf. Any MLF team member interested in being considered for this role are encouraged to apply online by March 09. Applications received beyond that date are not guaranteed consideration.
