Meat Department Manager – Walmart – Williams Lake, BC

Walmart Canada’s Williams Lake location is looking for a Meat Department Manager to lead their meat team and keep operations running at a high standard. This is a Regular/Permanent position based at the store on Prosperity Way in Williams Lake, BC — a community-centred retail environment where department leaders play a hands-on role in both people management and day-to-day operations.

This role is a genuine leadership opportunity in retail meat management, blending team development, customer service, merchandising, and inventory control. If you enjoy working in a structured environment where every shift brings a variety of tasks and you take pride in a well-run department, this could be a strong fit.

About the Role: Meat Department Manager

As the Meat Department Manager, you’ll be responsible for overseeing the full operation of the meat section within the store.

You’ll also manage the Store Within A Store (SWAS) planning process, attending SWAS meetings and reviewing reports related to food products, orders, and sales.

Beyond product management, this role requires a commitment to customer service, a strong eye for food safety and shrink control, and the ability to handle administrative responsibilities including paperwork, inventory tracking, and returns. You’ll be working a variety of shifts — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights — so flexibility is key.

Benefits and Salary

The minimum rate of pay for this position starts at $19.60 per hour. Walmart Canada also offers a range of benefits to support associates, including comprehensive benefits, life insurance, and paid time off (availability based on hours or employment status). Additional perks include a store discount, stock options, deferred profit sharing, EQ Health support, and access to the Live Better U education program.
