Associate Product Manager & PI Planning Lead – Canadian Tire – Toronto, ON

Canadian Tire Corporation is looking for an Associate Product Manager & PI Planning Lead to join its eCommerce Fulfillment team in Toronto, Ontario. This is a dual-function role that blends hands-on product management with enterprise-level Program Increment (PI) Planning coordination — ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, technology, and cross-functional collaboration.

Day to day, you’ll be shaping and optimizing customer-facing fulfillment products — from delivery and store fulfillment to email, SMS, and contact centre capabilities — while simultaneously driving the quarterly planning engine that keeps eCommerce delivery teams aligned and on track. It’s a high-visibility role with real ownership and meaningful impact on the customer experience.

About the Role: Associate Product Manager & PI Planning Lead

In this position, you’ll own product enhancements from initial concept through to post-launch evaluation, partnering with architects, engineers, QA teams, and business analysts to bring new features to life. You’ll also coordinate pre-PI Planning readiness activities across multiple product portfolios, track planning milestones, and facilitate stakeholder alignment sessions to ensure every initiative is properly scoped and prioritized before quarterly planning cycles begin.

You’ll serve as a critical connector across Product, IT, Operations, Digital, Architecture, and Contact Centre teams, managing dependencies, resolving sequencing conflicts, and making sure planning assumptions are clearly communicated across all stakeholders. Whether you’re preparing capacity planning materials, maintaining risk registers, or facilitating PI retrospectives, your organizational and communication skills will be essential to keeping things moving.

Benefits and Salary

Canadian Tire offers a broadband salary range of $64,000 to $106,000, with a typical hiring range of $64,000 to $88,000 depending on experience, internal equity, and role-specific factors. Beyond salary, the company provides comprehensive benefits and retirement programs, performance incentives, continuing education programs, mental health benefits of $5,000 per year, Canadian Tire Profit Sharing, store discounts, and career growth opportunities. Employees also benefit from the Triangle Learning Academy and an enhanced flex benefits program supporting total well-being.

Responsibilities

This role spans two interconnected domains: product ownership and PI Planning coordination. From driving quarterly planning cycles to launching new fulfillment features, you’ll be accountable for outcomes that directly affect how customers experience Canadian Tire’s eCommerce journey.

• Lead PI Planning coordination across eCommerce Fulfillment teams, managing pre-PI readiness activities and planning milestones
• Facilitate weekly Pre-PI Planning meetings with Product Managers and Associate Product Managers to track readiness and resolve blockers

• Contribute to roadmap planning by researching customer needs, operational opportunities, and industry trends
• Maintain planning dashboards and weekly executive reporting materials to support governance forums and leadership reviews

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in Agile product development combined with the organizational discipline to manage complex, multi-workstream planning cycles. Canadian Tire values people who can bridge the gap between strategic thinking and execution, while keeping diverse stakeholders informed and aligned.

• 2–5+ years of experience in Product Management, Project Management, Program Management, Business Analysis, or a related discipline
