Canadian Tire Corporation is looking for a Manager, AI Governance Enablement to join its team in Toronto, Ontario .

You'll also lead enablement programs, training sessions, and communities of practice to build real capability across the business.

Beyond the day-to-day enablement work, you'll be responsible for monitoring how well governance practices are taking hold — tracking adoption, maturity, and process effectiveness across business units and identifying where friction can be reduced. This is a role that requires both rigour and empathy:



understanding the pressure delivery teams are under while keeping responsible AI standards front and centre.
