People Lead – Walmart – Sherbrooke, QC

Walmart Canada’s Sherbrooke location is looking for a People Lead to join its in-store leadership team. This is a pivotal role that sits at the intersection of human resources, associate engagement, and operational excellence — the kind of position where what you do every day genuinely shapes the culture of the store around you.

As a People Lead, you’ll work closely with the Store Manager and leadership team to keep HR functions running smoothly — from recruitment and scheduling to performance management and talent development. It’s a hands-on, people-first role that calls for someone who leads with both integrity and empathy.

About the Role: People Lead

The People Lead is responsible for supporting the full scope of HR operations within the store. You’ll help identify and address workforce needs, implement company programs, and act as a trusted resource for associates and managers alike. Whether you’re guiding succession planning, analyzing attendance trends, or rolling out new digital tools, your work directly supports a positive and compliant workplace.

A big part of this role is championing Walmart’s core values — encouraging associates to lead with integrity, modelling respectful communication, and ensuring that company policies and ethical standards are consistently applied across the store. You’ll also play a key part in driving the adoption of technology and digital solutions that support new ways of working.

Benefits and Salary

Walmart Canada offers a range of benefits for its associates, including stock options, comprehensive health benefits (based on hours or employment status), life insurance, paid time off, a store discount, EQ Health support, access to the Live Better U education program, and a Deferred Profit Sharing plan. Benefits eligibility may vary based on full-time or part-time status.

Responsibilities

The People Lead touches nearly every aspect of the associate experience — from the moment someone is hired to how they grow within the company. This role requires a proactive, organized professional who can juggle HR programs, data analysis, and people advocacy all at once.

• Support recruitment and staffing by assisting leadership with hiring, scheduling, attendance management, and performance-related needs
• Develop and implement HR action plans by collaborating with managers and business partners to address workforce needs and process improvements
• Advocate for associates by modelling Walmart’s core values, promoting a culture of respect and integrity in daily routines and store communications

• Build cross-functional partnerships to provide business solutions, monitor results, and adapt to organizational changes
• Model compliance with company policies, ethical standards, and the Open Door Policy
• Apply subject matter expertise to the development and continuous improvement of HR action plans and best practices

• Strong communication skills — able to convey HR programs, expectations, and feedback clearly to associates and leadership
• HR knowledge — understanding of employment practices, compliance, and talent development processes
• Analytical mindset — comfortable reviewing data from multiple sources to inform decisions and track progress
