Chief People Officer - Confidential Company

Our client is a leading Canadian consumer products organization publicly listed on the TSX.

The Chief People Officer (CPO) is a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, responsible for shaping and executing the company’s global people and culture strategy. Reporting to the CEO, the CPO leads all aspects of People and Culture across international operations, ensuring alignment with business goals, cultural values, and regulatory requirements. The CPO will oversee a direct team of 3 people (~total team of 18p) and will continue to optimize and expand the HR function enabling the business to grow, with a particular focus on international growth organically or through M&A activity.

Our client is seeking a CPO who will combine strategic depth with operational practicality, bringing the judgment to refine what has been built, the confidence to challenge where needed, and the capability to enable continued evolution across a multi-site, manufacturing-led organization. Comfortable operating in ambiguity, they will balance near-term execution with longer-term value creation, while stewarding culture, leadership capability, and organizational effectiveness in a highly regulated and rapidly evolving environment.

The ideal candidate brings a proven track record supporting international expansion and complex change, ideally within CPG, food, cannabis, or adjacent regulated manufacturing sectors, and is experienced working with hourly-heavy workforces, senior leadership teams, and Boards as the business scales.
