Ready for a career glow-up? As Manager, Social Impact & Sustainability, youll bring our purpose to life across Canada - turning our commitments to people and planet into programs our clients and teams can see, join, and feel. The work you do will impact beauty, as you advance sustainability across packaging, waste, and carbon while growing employee giving and volunteering from coast to coast, aligned to our global cause. Reporting to the Director, Employee Engagement and Internal Communications, youll be part of a high-impact team thats united in beauty, supported by those who are equally as passionate about doing the right thing for our communities and the planet.

What Youll Do:

• Youll own our employee giving, matching gifts, and volunteering programs end-to-end running the Benevity platform, building campaigns, and getting teams in stores, at our Field Support Centre (FSC) and distribution centres excited to take part.
• Youll lead national giving moments from concept to close, including our annual giving campaign, heritage and awareness month activations, and rapid-response disaster relief.
• Youll manage our partnerships vetting new partners, shaping agreements, tracking deliverables and impact, and running annual partner reviews. Youll collaborate with Marketing on key strategic partnerships (ie. Toronto Tempo) to find synergies that increase our impact
• Youll run product and in-kind donation programs with Merchandising, Inventory, and Supply Chain, covering eligibility, allocation, logistics, and charitable receipting.
• Youll drive sustainability workstreams that matter to our clients packaging reduction and recyclability, in-store and distribution centre waste diversion, energy and emissions reduction, and refill and take-back programs.
• Youll partner with Merchandising and our brand partners on packaging and product sustainability standards, supplier data requests, and claims substantiation alongside Legal.
• Youll build the KPI framework, dashboards, and leadership reporting that show our progress - and use what the data tells you to sharpen the strategy.
• Youll contribute to our annual impact reporting and to LVMH global deliverables, including LIFE 360 commitments, ratings submissions, and client and partner questionnaires.
• Youll work with Communications and Marketing to create internal campaigns, field toolkits, and storytelling that make our impact real for every team member.

• You have taken a program from a (nearly) blank page through to launch with measurable results, and built the process, documentation, and reporting that made it stick.
• You have strong analytical chops, advanced Excel skills, and the patience to work with imperfect data from multiple systems and owners.
• You have managed budgets, vendors, and external partners, including contracting and invoice workflows.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of building executive-ready presentations and influencing partners without direct authority.
• You have a natural bias for organization and adaptability, with the judgment to prioritize when everything feels urgent.
• You have a post-secondary degree in Sustainability, Environmental Studies, Business, Public Policy, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• You have comfort and confidence using digital and AI-enabled tools responsibly in your day-to-day work.
• Nice to have fluency in French

What Youll Get:

• Caring Community. Youll collaborate with teammates who are equally passionate about innovating, doing the right things, and driving the industry forward together, united in beauty.
