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.

The Real Estate Sales Forecasting team supports the Real Estate group by providing insight, analytics and data in support of Real Estate capital investment decisions. Using a unique set of analytical tools and data, the Market Analyst is responsible to create sales forecasts, cannibalization estimates, long term market plans and demographic analysis to support recommendations for the best use of capital across the store network. Reporting to the Manager, RE Sales Forecasting, the Market Analyst will provide support to regional development teams as required while also working collaboratively with other members of the Forecasting team and the Market Analysis team to develop new tools and models in support of the above functions.

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.
