Job description

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Are you actively looking for a new opportunity or just checking the market? You might just be in the right place! We’re looking for a Strategy Director to join our team at Lightspeed. This role will serve as a key partner to Lightspeed’s Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer (CSTO) and broader executive leadership team to shape enterprise strategy and lead the annual strategic planning process. As Lightspeed enters its next phase of growth and a multi-year transformation, this role will play a key part in defining priorities, guiding decision-making, and driving alignment across the business. The ideal candidate brings strong strategic thinking and a track record of leading complex, cross‑functional initiatives from concept through execution.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead enterprise strategic planning, owning the annual planning process and ongoing strategic review cadences.
  • Partner closely with the CSTO and executive leadership team to shape strategic priorities and inform key business decisions.
  • Structure complex, ambiguous business problems and develop data‑driven insights to guide enterprise direction.
  • Drive development of business cases, strategic plans, and executive‑ready recommendations to support leadership decision‑making.
  • Lead cross‑functional initiatives, aligning stakeholders on priorities, driving execution, and delivering against defined business outcomes.
  • Act as a strategic mentor and coach to junior team members, elevating capabilities in problem solving, analysis, and stakeholder engagement.

What You Need To Bring

  • Strong structured problem‑solving skills to tackle complex and ambiguous business challenges.
  • Demonstrated experience leading enterprise‑level strategic initiatives or workstreams in fast‑paced environments.
  • Ability to influence senior executives and drive alignment across functions.
  • Strong business judgment and the capacity to connect insights to strategic implications.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to synthesize complex topics into clear, executive‑level messaging.
  • High level of ownership, accountability, and the ability to operate independently.
  • For a global company with employees and clients outside of Quebec, fluency in English as a working language is required.

Even Better If You Have, But Not Necessary

  • 7–10+ years of experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or a related field.
  • Experience working directly with executive leadership on strategic decision-making and planning.
  • Advanced degree (e.g., MBA) or equivalent experience.
  • Experience in SaaS, fintech, or other high‑growth, technology‑driven environments.

You’ll Enjoy

  • A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work.
  • A culture that celebrates performance.
  • The chance to make an impact in a team that’s big enough for career growth, but lean enough to make your voice heard.
  • Career‑defining opportunities.

Plus benefits designed to keep you happy, healthy and fulfilled.

  • Flexible paid time off and remote work policies.
  • Equity options.
  • Contributions to your pension plan.
  • Training opportunities to grow your skills and career.
  • Health and wellness credit.
  • Time off to volunteer and give back to your community.
  • Interest groups, employee‑led networks, and social committees.
  • Computer purchase program to obtain your personal MacBook.
  • Enhanced parental leave.

Compensation Range: $160,000 - $190,000 CAD

Lightspeed is a proud equal‑opportunity employer and we are committed to creating an inclusive and barrier‑free workplace.
