Chez Les Compagnies Loblaw Limitée, nous réussissons grâce à la collaboration, à l'engagement et nous plaçons la barre haute pour nous-mêmes et ceux qui nous entourent. Que vous débutiez votre carrière, que vous réintégriez le marché du travail ou que vous recherchiez un nouvel emploi, votre place est avec nous.

Reports to: Senior Director, Sourcing Analytics


As the Senior Manager, Category Analytics for Fresh, you will lead sophisticated commercial analytics that strengthen sourcing strategies and supplier decisions across Loblaw’s Fresh categories. Working at the intersection of data, commercial strategy and execution, you will design and facilitate complex competitive sourcing events, develop rigorous supplier evaluation frameworks and translate bid outcomes into actionable recommendations that create measurable enterprise value.

Reporting to the Senior Director, Sourcing Analytics, you will be a senior analytical partner to Fresh Sourcing and Merchandising leaders. You will bring structure to ambiguous sourcing challenges, challenge assumptions with fact-based insights and help stakeholders navigate trade-offs across cost, quality, service, supply continuity and operational feasibility. You will also raise the standard of analytical tools and ways of working across the Category Analytics function.


Core Responsibilities:


Complex RFP Strategy & Execution

  • Lead the analytical design and facilitation of complex, high-value Fresh RFPs, including sourcing-event architecture, supplier bid templates, evaluation criteria, timelines and governance.
  • Develop bid lot approaches that enable fair comparisons across differing specifications, pricing structures, service models and supply arrangements.
  • Coordinate with Fresh Sourcing, Merchandising and relevant operational partners to surface constraints, manage analytical issues and support informed award recommendations.

Commercial Modelling & Decision Support

  • Build and challenge robust total-cost, scenario and supplier economics models that quantify the impact of alternative sourcing and award decisions.
  • Assess supplier submissions and identify commercial opportunities, risks and sensitivities; clearly articulate the assumptions underpinning recommendations.
  • Develop fact-based negotiation support, including benchmarks, cost drivers, supplier comparisons and quantified trade-offs.

Value Identification & Realization

  • Proactively identify sourcing opportunities through category, supplier and market analysis, including competitive tension, supplier mix and improved commercial structures.
  • Partner with Commodity & Business Intelligence, Sourcing leadership and Finance, where appropriate, to establish opportunity baselines, quantify expected value and support post-decision measurement.
  • Elevate material risks or value gaps early and recommend pragmatic actions to protect expected outcomes.

Strategic Partnership & Influence

  • Serve as a trusted thought partner to senior Fresh Sourcing and Merchandising stakeholders on high-stakes commercial decisions.
  • Translate detailed analyses into clear executive-ready narratives, recommendations and decision options.
  • Lead cross-functional working sessions to align on assumptions, evaluation principles and commercial implications.

Analytical Excellence & Capability Development

  • Develop reusable RFP methodologies, modelling standards, templates and quality controls that improve consistency and speed across Fresh categories.
  • Identify opportunities to apply automation, advanced analytics and AI-enabled tools to improve analytical rigor and productivity, in partnership with the broader Analytics function.
  • Coach and mentor analytical colleagues through complex problem-solving and commercial judgement, without presumed direct-report accountability.

Key Skills and Qualifications

  • 7+ years of progressive experience in sourcing, procurement, category or commercial analytics, merchandising, or management consulting; Fresh grocery experience is a strong asset.
  • Demonstrated success leading complex competitive sourcing events and translating bid evaluations into sound commercial recommendations.
  • Strong understanding of Fresh sourcing considerations, including perishability, seasonality, service levels, quality and supply continuity.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Supply Chain or a related discipline; equivalent relevant experience considered.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex quantitative findings into clear commercial recommendations and influence senior cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Strong commercial judgment, structured problem-solving and comfort navigating ambiguity, competing priorities and sensitive supplier information.
  • Advanced Excel and financial modelling capabilities; experience with business intelligence, analytics or automation tools is an asset.
  • Proven ability to independently lead high-impact workstreams, build effective relationships and improve analytical methodologies.
