Toronto, Canada CT Corporation Full time

**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 Employee Communications team, part of CTC’s broader Communications group is, in many ways, right at the heart of CTC. We collaborate with teams across the entire business, helping to keep our corporate employees informed of and connected to all the amazing things we do as a company - from our sustainability efforts to new product launches, to our growth strategy - and everything in between. We drive the creative employee communications and engagement strategy and execution of a range of both stand-alone and cross-functional campaigns that foster a culture of diversity, belonging and inclusion, and keep our corporate employees engaged and proud to work at CTC. We use digital platforms like Workplace by Facebook and Microsoft 365 to deliver virtual events, Executive Town Halls, brand experiences and contests that ultimately surprise and delight our employees.

The Specialist reports directly to the Manager of Employee Communications and works closely with the Advisors on the team, as well as client groups, to create, deliver and measure communications campaigns that drive our business forward.

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.

**What you’ll do**

The Employee Communications Specialist will support the team by creating fresh written and visual content that engages CTC’s employee audience in fun and meaningful ways. The Specialist helps the team to execute communications campaigns in an efficient and timely manner so that employees have access to accurate, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand information.
