Business Analyst Student (12 months) – Canadian Tire – Mississauga, ON

Canadian Tire Corporation is looking for a curious, driven Business Analyst Student to join their team in Mississauga, Ontario for a 12-month co-op placement starting Winter Term 2027. This is a full-time student opportunity with one of Canada’s most recognized retail and corporate brands — a chance to work hands-on with real data, real systems, and real business impact.

This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, business analysis, and ecommerce supply chain strategy. You’ll be embedded in a collaborative team environment where you’ll contribute to meaningful initiatives rather than shadow from the sidelines. If you’re the kind of student who thrives on solving complex data problems and communicating findings to stakeholders, this placement is worth a close look.

About the Role: Business Analyst Student

Day-to-day, you’ll be working across data migration projects, integration pipelines, and reporting and visualization platforms. You’ll connect with diverse data sources — from SQL Server and Oracle to Snowflake and enterprise data warehouses — while helping build analytics-ready models that power decision-making across the business. Alongside the technical work, you’ll engage directly with stakeholders from ecommerce and supply chain teams as a liaison and change agent.

You’ll apply Agile Project Management methodology to lead analysis, design, development, testing, and implementation of key initiatives. Adhering to deadlines, maintaining process documentation, and supporting RFX processes are all part of the scope. Canadian Tire expects students to take ownership, contribute to business reviews, and bring fresh thinking to the table.

Benefits and Salary

The hourly wage for this student role ranges from $23.00 to $30.00 CAD, with a broadband range extending to $37.00 depending on experience, skills, and other factors. Beyond the competitive pay, Canadian Tire offers store discounts, access to the Triangle Learning Academy for supported learning, and a workplace culture that genuinely invests in student development through mentorship, goal-setting, and ongoing relationship building.

Responsibilities

In this placement, you’ll take on a wide range of responsibilities that span data engineering, stakeholder management, and process improvement. The work is both technical and collaborative — you’ll need to be comfortable navigating enterprise data systems while also communicating clearly with business teams across the organization.

• Lead and support data migration initiatives, including transitioning data from SQL Server environments to enterprise data warehouses such as IHUB, ensuring scalable and analytics-ready data models
• Design and implement data integration pipelines across multiple environments, connecting diverse data sources including SQL Server, Oracle, IHUB, Snowflake, and enterprise data warehouses
• Enable seamless data access across platforms while ensuring data quality, governance, and consistency across systems
• Develop and maintain interactive dashboards and reporting solutions using tools such as Power BI, ThoughtSpot, and Tableau
• Apply Agile Project Management methodology to lead analysis, design, development, testing, and implementation of key initiatives
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders as a liaison and change agent, driving efficiencies and better decision-making across the portfolio
• Turn large datasets into meaningful information, mapping current processes and creating simulation models to test alternatives
• Contribute to process documentation, RFX processes, and regular business reviews and brainstorming sessions, while adhering to strict project deadlines
