Director, Omni-channel Marketing (North America) Mississauga - Financial Dr., ON 7/6/2026

Director, Omni-channel Marketing (North America)

As one of the only CPG companies headquartered in Canada, Maple Leaf Foods offers a rare marketing career advantage: the chance to shape strategy at the centre, not execute from a satellite office. This role is our North American Omni-channel leader, a visible, high‑impact mandate with the latitude to design growth strategy, mobilize cross‑functional leaders, and build a team of world‑class executors.

The Opportunity

Own the development and execution of profitable growth strategies grounded in the 3Cs (Consumer/Customer, Competitors, Company) and the 4Ps (Product, Price, Promotion, Placement). Partner closely with experts in Category, Revenue Growth Management, and Brand to lead our growth agenda across the US and Canada, accelerating incremental revenue and profit growth by owning the end‑to‑end path‑to‑purchase growth engine across physical retail and digital commerce.

Translate brand strategy into measurable conversion in the moments that matter—search, shelf, PDP, promo, cart, checkout, and repeat. Evolve shopper marketing into a unified omnichannel capability that connects brand building, performance, and retail execution to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.

Omnichannel transformation on both the consumer and retailer side is driving the need for this role: shopping decisions increasingly happen before the store (search, social, retailer apps, ratings & reviews, what’s on deal, subscriptions/auto‑refill) and will increasingly be influenced by algorithms and agents, not just traditional marketing levers. Winning requires best‑in‑class content, data, and always‑on optimization, not just flyers and displays.

Snapshot of a Day‑in‑the‑Life

1. Omnichannel Strategy & Planning (North American leadership)
   Lead and develop the Omnichannel Marketing team to deliver industry‑leading programs across in‑store and digital channels, ensuring every major brand initiative is translated into a cohesive retail conversion plan across physical and digital touchpoints.
2. Digital Commerce & eRetail Excellence
   Own the digital shelf: PDP quality, content compliance, imagery, claims, nutrition, FAQs, and comparison content. Lead search and browse optimization, drive ratings and reviews strategy in partnership with Communications, Legal, and Consumer Engagement. Build scalable playbooks for pure‑play and omni‑channel retailers and platforms.
3. Retailer Media & Performance Activation
   Lead retailer media strategy: objectives, targeting approach, measurement, and test‑and‑learn roadmap. Orchestrate closed‑loop plans tying media investment to commercial outcomes, including ROI/ROAS, profit‑aware attributed sales, new‑to‑brand sales, share, household penetration, and incrementality. Ensure creative and content are fit‑for‑format across sponsored products, display, video, shoppable, and off‑site.
4. In‑store Shopper Marketing (Integrated with digital)
   Own shopper platforms: POS, merchandising, displays, promo storytelling, and seasonal programs. Integrate in‑store activation with digital and retail media channels: QR where useful, app offers, loyalty ecosystems, and click‑and‑collect moments.
5. Measurement, Insights & Optimization
   Establish the omnichannel scorecard and operating rhythm, tracking share of search, PDP conversion, ROI/ROAS, incrementality, distribution, promo effectiveness, repeat, and reduction of non‑working cost/waste/fees. Deliver a single source of truth for performance reporting and post‑mortems in partnership with Finance, Sales, and Category, turning learning into action.
6. Leadership & Organizational Impact
   Lead and develop a high‑performing Omnichannel Marketing team across the US and Canada, setting clear priorities, raising the performance bar, coaching talent, and serving as a unifying leader across Brand, Sales, Category, Finance, and agency partners.
