The Opportunity

Promotional spend is one of the largest commercial investments. We’re looking for a Promotional Effectiveness Manager to own how we measure it, govern it, and continuously improve it — turning promotional ROI into a discipline the commercial team trusts and acts on. You’ll be the credible voice on Total Promo ROI: leading the monthly review cadence with senior commercial leaders, embedding ROI thinking into how Sales, Marketing, and RGM plan and execute, and building the tools and models that make promotional decisions faster and sharper.

Reason for vacancy: Incremental Headcount

Compensation: $96,000 - $141,000 CAD base pay annually plus annual short-term incentive. The above compensation reflects the target compensation for the position at the time of posting. The base salary offered may vary based on a variety of factors, including skills, experience, education, training, job‑related knowledge, and other organizational requirements. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible to participate in Maple Leaf’s annual short-term incentive plan.
