About The Position

As a Senior Consultant, Talent Programs & Insights at Canadian Tire, you’ll support Talent Acquisition operations across our businesses. Reporting to the AVP, Talent Acquisition, you’ll help attract and engage top talent in service of our purpose: “Making Life in Canada Better.” You’ll partner closely with TA leaders, external vendors, and key stakeholders to deliver programs, insights, and operational excellence. You’ll anchor every deliverable to a clear outcome—improving recruiting efficiency, elevating candidate and hiring-manager experience, and strengthening top-talent attraction. This is a full-time permanent role that is onsite four days per week at a GTA corporate office, with travel to events as needed. GTA offices are located in Oakville, Mississauga and Toronto.

Requirements

• 5+ years in Talent Acquisition operations, programs, or talent programs— including global mobility experience and ideally hands-on ownership of campus/early careers initiatives (co-op, intern, new grad, rotational).
• Advanced PowerPoint skills (crisp, executive-ready storytelling) and strong Excel capability (data cleaning, pivots, basic analysis); confident working across the MS Office suite.
• A confident communicator who can influence across levels—facilitating discussions with recruiters, HR, and business leaders and showing up as a credible brand ambassador at events.
• Demonstrated experience turning talent data into insights—building recurring reporting, spotting trends, and recommending actions that improve funnel health and hiring outcomes.
• Strong working knowledge of ATS/HRIS platforms, delivered reports and sourcing tools; Workday experience is a strong asset or ability to learn new systems hands-on quickly

Responsibilities

• Lead and support cross-functional TA initiatives (process improvements, pilot programs, tool enhancements), bringing structure to ambiguous work, tracking milestones, and delivering measurable improvements in efficiency and effectiveness.
• Own escalations and end-to-end coordination in Workday for work permits and mobility cases; maintain audit-ready tracking, deliver regular insights, and manage external vendor performance (SLAs, issue resolution, continuous improvement).
• Serve as day-to-day owner for key TA vendors (job boards, agencies, tools), leading quarterly business reviews, coordinating enablement/training for recruiters, and driving adoption of new features that improve quality of hire, speed, and candidate experience.
• Build and interpret talent acquisition dashboards and reports from Workday/HRIS data; translate findings into clear insights and executive-ready storylines to support TA and business leader decision-making.
• Execute and optimize job sponsorships and board campaigns (LinkedIn, Indeed, and others), monitoring performance and recommending adjustments to improve reach, conversion, and cost effectiveness.
• Plan and deliver high-impact campus and special-project events (on-site and virtual), ensuring seamless logistics, strong candidate experience, and measurable outcomes; manage event budget, swag inventory, and expense tracking end to end.
• Design, launch, and continuously improve early-career programs with campus recruiters—creating program plans, candidate communications, and leader-ready presentations; partner with HRBPs and Hiring Managers to drive hiring demand, intern/co-op success, and conversion outcomes while managing program budgets.
