Manager, Retail Communications-14 Month Contract

The Impact You'll Make :

We are looking for a seasoned and creative Manager of Retail Communication to act as a key strategic partner for our Hard Discount and National Wholesale teams. A primary responsibility of this role is providing expert service and counsel directly to the President, Hard Discount, the SVP, National Wholesale, and their senior leadership teams.

You will leverage this partnership to develop and drive a cohesive communication strategy that aligns internal teams with our external brand voice. This involves translating business objectives into compelling narratives that ensure our colleagues and owners are informed, engaged, and empowered as brand ambassadors. Ultimately, you will be responsible for creating a consistent and authentic message across all channels, from internal town halls to external‑facing programs.

What You'll Do :

• Act as the central storyteller, developing content that seamlessly bridges internal and external audiences. This includes managing internal platforms (fl!p, Viva Engage, town halls, newsletters, etc.) to build an informed workforce, and as an integral member of the Corporate Affairs & Communication (CAC) team, amplifying our most impactful stories for the public through media relations and external‑facing content.
• Serve as a guardian of our brand voice, ensuring consistency, clarity, and authenticity across all communications, whether for a frontline colleague or an external stakeholder.
• Foster a continuous improvement mindset within the department, by effectively measuring the impact of communication efforts post‑implementation and adjusting wherever necessary.
• As a member of the CAC team, routinely support the communication function by monitoring the Loblaw PR inbox, and distributing the daily media summary.
• Lead and execute public relations programs as assigned, including store grand opening and other community engagement initiatives, that support the company's reputation strategy.
• Support the development and execution of crisis communication plans, ensuring timely, accurate, and aligned messaging for all stakeholders, both internal and external.
• Occasionally travel in Canada (and abroad) to support various events and connect with frontline teams.

What You'll Bring :

Our commitment to Sustainability and Social Impact is an essential part of the way we do business, and we focus our attention on areas where we can have the greatest impact. Our approach to sustainability and social impact is based on three pillars – Environment, Sourcing and Community – and we are constantly looking for ways to demonstrate leadership in these important areas. Our CORE Values – Care, Ownership, Respect and Excellence – guide all our decision‑making and come to life through our Blue Culture. We offer our colleagues progressive careers, comprehensive training, flexibility, and other competitive benefits – these are some of the many reasons why we are one of Canada’s Top Employers, Canada’s Best Diversity Employers, Canada’s Greenest Employers & Canada’s Top Employers for Young People.
