Supply Chain Process Analyst - Canadian Tire Corporation

Help us boldly shape retail in Canada

Canadian Tire Corporation’s (CTC) rich heritage of serving Canadians from coast-to-coast dates back to 1922. Our vision is to become the #1 retail brand in Canada and we are focused on innovating and making important investments in our business, especially when it comes to our people. To reach our goal, we need the best talent to help us evolve and drive change across the business – and boldly help shape Canada’s retail industry. As we strive to be at the forefront of a complex and vastly changing retail industry, it is an exciting time to join the Canadian Tire family of companies.

The Supplier Performance Team within Supply Chain Integration Asia Operations (SCIAO) works in partnership with Canadian Tire’s Suppliers, Merchandising, Distribution Centres, and other Cross Functional Stakeholders to support in-stock positioning for strong DC Fill Rates and OMSL. The team’s focus is managing the supplier performance program as a form of merchandising integration. The supply chain process analyst is responsible for administering and executing the Supplier Performance Program which measures the timeliness and accuracy and documentation submissions and deliveries. The measurements translate into vendor fines. The analyst’s work involves moderate analytics, as well as diplomacy and problem solving skills to manage vendor fine disputes.

The analyst also has the opportunity to drive supplier improvement initiatives, leveraging the metrics (Vendor Service Level, Vendor Fill Rate) to monitor vendors’ progress on improvement plans. The development of new and modified metrics is also to be expected.

At Canadian Tire we work flexibility embracing ‘Hybrid’ whereby individuals utilize a combination of working at a CTC campus and or virtually in service of outcomes. Determined by managers, decisions around work location will be made based on business and team needs and grounded in a desire to support individual well-being and personal needs. Our goal is to empower teams and individuals to make the right decisions for them, and we expect that to look different for everyone.
