Description

Help us boldly shape retail in Canada
Canadian Tire Corporation's (CTC) rich heritage of serving Canadians from coast-to-coast dates back to 1922.

Our vision is to become the #1 retail brand in Canada and we are focused on innovating and making important investments in our business, especially when it comes to our people.

To reach our goal, we need the best talent to help us evolve and drive change across the business - and boldly help shape Canada's retail industry.

As we strive to be at the forefront of a complex and vastly changing retail industry, it is an exciting time to join the Canadian Tire family of companies.

Embracing and driving change is critical to Canadian Tire Corporation's success.

The complexity and rate at which the retail industry is transforming has increased exponentially in recent years, and we are committed to being a leader in the industry.

As such, we are relentlessly focused on innovating at every level of our business, investing in new technologies and products, and doubling down on the best talent to drive the company forward.

Our Consumer Brands team is a great example of our retail evolution, bringing together all the Owned brands from across our family of companies to drive our growth strategy further.

We are providing Canadians with unprecedented innovation, value and excitement through great Owned Brands such as Sherwood, a Hockey brand established in 1949, which has continued to evolve for over 70 years.

As a brand, Sherwood is committed to making high quality, unique hockey products with the same attention to detail that our consumers put into their own game.

Like any elite player, we're constantly working to raise our game to new heights and to find new ways to break through, on and off the ice.

We are looking for a Demand and Production Planning Manager to work within our Sherwood Hockey business and who will be responsible for coordinating, planning, and scheduling all aspects of production to ensure efficient and effective operations.

This is a crucial role that requires a strong understanding of production processes and the ability to work closely with a team of professionals to meet production targets.

In this role, you will play a critical part in managing the supply chain and ensuring that we have the right products in the right place at the right time to meet customer demand.

What you'll do

As a Demand and Production Planning Manager you will develop broad operational experience while managing forecasting and replenishment for our Hockey business across multiple retail banners.

This role will collaborate with suppliers and internal teams to manage the flow of inventory into Distribution Centres and respond to changes in demand.

Working in partnership with the Product Development, Brand Management, Category Management, Forecasting and Replenishment teams, you will ensure proper flow of products across our full assortment.

Specifically, you will:

Forecast demand for all hockey products, including sticks, protective gear, and accessories.
Develop and implement production schedules to ensure timely delivery of products.
Develop and implement a demand planning process to ensure accuracy and reliability of forecasts.
Monitor production progress and sales performance; adjust demand and production plans as necessary to ensure efficient flow of goods.
Communicate regularly with suppliers and vendors to ensure timely delivery of raw materials and components.
Collaborate with Merchandising, Brand Management, and Product teams to gather input and insights for demand planning; collaborate with these teams and suppliers to resolve any issues that may impact production schedules.
Manage inventory levels to minimize stock shortages and excesses; work with the purchasing team to ensure that stock levels are maintained at an optimal level.
Provide regular reports and updates to senior management on production and/or demand planning progress and performance.
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to drive operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Who you are

We are looking for individuals who are:

Creative and courageous, with the ability to manage in an environment of change and ambiguity to help us take bold, strategic moves in this rapidly evolving retail environment.
Action oriented, and comfortable taking calculated risks to better serve our customers and business.
Outcome focused, critical thinkers with the ability to analyze and visualize, to ensure continuous improvement across our entire business.
Collaborative team players with superior influencing skills, who build relationships easily across various stakeholder groups to move initiatives forward.

If you're curious, ready to take on new challenges and open to doing things differently to help us evolve rapidly, then this is definitely the place to be.
