Full-time | Hybrid (4 days in office – usually Brampton, limited travel to other offices in the GTA)

Why is this role important?

The Risk Advisory group delivers innovative and business-focused Advisory and Assurance, Business Risk Management, and technology-enabled solutions across the entire Loblaw portfolio. We focus our efforts on the fundamental areas that help protect, grow, and elevate our business’s governance, operations, and results.

We are looking for a Manager/Senior Manager, Risk Advisory who brings a unique combination of financial controls expertise, strong business acumen, with a consulting mindset to solve complex business challenges, strengthen operations, and deliver meaningful value.

Reporting into the Director, ICC & ERM, this is a dynamic, high-visibility role with two distinct but complementary areas of responsibility:

Your primary focus (approximately 60%) will be leading the delivery of our Internal Controls Compliance (ICC) program. You will oversee external consulting teams responsible for program execution, serving as the primary relationship manager and trusted advisor to business stakeholders. You will be accountable for ensuring high-quality, timely delivery while proactively understanding business changes, navigating complex issues, and identifying opportunities to modernize and improve our approach, including advancing our collective use of AI tools.

The remaining portion of your role (approximately 40%) will involve leading impactful engagements across our Enterprise Risk Management and Assurance & Advisory pillars. These projects span operational risk assessments, process deep-dives, and strategic advisory initiatives, as well as our regular reporting to senior management and the Board on enterprise risk profile. You will bring the same critical thinking, business curiosity, and hands-on leadership to these engagements, helping business leaders understand complex challenges and develop practical, actionable solutions.

We are looking for a self-driven, adaptable leader who is equally comfortable navigating technical financial controls discussions, managing senior stakeholder relationships, and rolling up their sleeves to solve complex operational problems.

More details on what you'll do:

Lead and elevate our Internal Controls Compliance program (approximately 60%)

• Lead the day-to-day management and delivery of the ICC program, ensuring effective execution, strong governance, high-quality deliverables, and adherence to key milestones for the organization’s NI52-109 Internal Controls over Financial Reporting program.
• Manage external consulting teams responsible for program execution, setting clear expectations, reviewing and challenging work products, monitoring progress, and ensuring accountability for quality and timelines.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for business stakeholders, building trusted relationships and maintaining a strong understanding of business processes, financial reporting risks, controls, and evolving operational priorities.
• Lead annual planning & scoping, proactively identifying and assessing the impact of business, process, technology, and organizational changes on the internal controls environment, ensuring emerging risks and control implications are appropriately addressed.
• Apply strong technical judgment to evaluate control design, testing approaches, deficiencies, and remediation strategies, challenging conclusions and escalating significant matters in a timely and thoughtful manner.
• Drive continuous improvement and modernization of the ICC program, including opportunities to leverage data analytics, automation, GenAI, and evolving risk-based testing methodologies to improve quality, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Lead cross-functional risk and assurance/advisory engagements (approximately 40%)

• Lead complex operational risk assessments, assurance and advisory engagements, and special projects across the Enterprise Risk Management and Assurance & Advisory pillars, adapting to evolving business priorities and team needs.
• Evaluate end-to-end business processes, develop process flows, design risk-based assessment and testing procedures, and independently execute analysis to support meaningful conclusions and recommendations.
• Translate complex information into clear, compelling, and highly visual presentations, executive materials, and actionable recommendations that support informed decision-making.
• Manage engagements from planning through execution and reporting, taking a hands-on approach to research, analysis, documentation, and deliverable development as needed.
• Mentor and coach Analysts and Senior Analysts, developing their analytical, communication, and project management skills and fostering a high-performing, collaborative team culture.
• Represent Risk Advisory as a trusted advisor, offering practical solutions and ad-hoc support to management as needed.

Does this sound like you?

• 7+ years of progressive experience in external audit, internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR), risk advisory, internal audit, or related consulting roles, including meaningful experience leading complex engagements and managing teams.
• Strong foundation in financial accounting, financial reporting risks, business processes, and internal controls, with demonstrated experience in ICFR control design, operating effectiveness testing, deficiency evaluation, and remediation.
• Experience in external audit or ICFR-related assurance or compliance activities, with the technical depth to effectively challenge work performed by external consultants and navigate complex financial controls matters.
• A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field. A CPA designation is strongly preferred; CIA, CRMA, or other relevant designations are considered assets.
• Strong business and operational acumen, with the ability to understand complex end-to-end processes, connect the dots across business functions, and identify meaningful risks and opportunities beyond financial compliance.
• Demonstrated ability to design and lead risk-based assessments, operational reviews, or advisory engagements, including developing process maps, testing procedures, analysis, and business-oriented recommendations.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage senior leaders, navigate sensitive discussions, constructively challenge perspectives, and influence outcomes.
• Strong executive storytelling and presentation skills, including the ability to independently develop clear, insightful, and visually compelling PowerPoint presentations.
• Proven ability to manage external service providers or project teams, drive accountability, and deliver high-quality results in a fast-paced environment.
• Highly proficient with Microsoft Office applications, particularly PowerPoint and Excel; familiarity with data analytics, automation, and GenAI-enabled approaches is an asset.
• A curious, entrepreneurial, and solutions-oriented mindset, with strong critical thinking, sound judgment, and a genuine interest in understanding how businesses operate.
• A proactive, adaptable self-starter who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting between technical and operational engagements, and taking ownership of complex work with limited direction.
