Data management Jobs in Brampton, ON

The Opportunity:

Our commercial team has built something rare: an entrepreneurial culture with deep value for data driven decision making. The next step is matching that culture with a modern analytics foundation — trusted data, governed models, and AI-enabled tools that let the team spend its time on decisions, not data wrangling. This is a build role. You will shape how the commercial team works with data and analytics for years to come — establishing the data products, governance, and self-service capabilities that turn raw information into faster, more confident commercial decisions across pricing, promotions, and business performance.

Any MLF team member interested in being considered for this role are encouraged to apply online by June 08. Applications received beyond that date are not guaranteed consideration.

Reason for vacancy: Incremental Headcount
Compensation: $96,000 - $141,000 CAD base pay annually plus annual short-term incentive

The above compensation reflects the target compensation for the position at the time of posting. The base salary offered may vary based on a variety of factors including skills, experience, education, training, job- related knowledge, and other organizational requirements. For part-time roles, salaries are adjusted according to scheduled hours. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible to participate in Maple Leaf’s annual short-term incentive plan.

Snapshot of a Day-in-the-Life:

• Design Scalable Data Models & Modern Analytics: Build the governed data models that power reporting, self-service analytics, and AI-enabled tools across the commercial team. Partner with data engineering and analytics teams to make business-ready data default.
• Establish Data Governance & Standards: Stand up the governance practices, ownership model, and documentation that make our commercial data trusted, consistent, and accountable.
• Lead Reporting Strategy & Lifecycle: Rationalize and curate the enterprise reporting environment, retire what isn’t earning its place, and champion adoption of what is.
• Champion AI-Enabled & Self-Service Analytics: Bring AI agents and self-service tools into the commercial workflow to answer the hard questions instead of wasting time wrangling data.
• Drive Adoption, Training & Data Literacy: Lead the capability-building work that turns better tools into better decisions — coaching, training, and championing data-driven thinking across the team.
• Coordinate Analytics Prioritization & Roadmaps: Partner with Sales, Marketing, Finance, and analytics teams to prioritize where we invest, identify data gaps, and keep the work tied to business priorities.

• Track record implementing data governance practices — definitions, ownership, quality, and lifecycle management

Commercial Skills

• Strong project and change management instincts; you’ve led capability rollouts, not just delivered them
