Job Description

***Open to applicants within the Greater Montreal area***

Goodfood (TSX:FOOD) is a leading online grocery service in Canada, delivering fresh meal solutions that make it easy for members from coast to coast to enjoy delicious meals at home every week. Goodfood’s mission is to make the impossible come true, from farm to kitchen, by enabling members to do their weekly meal planning and grocery shopping in minutes. Goodfood members get access to a unique selection of products online as well as exclusive pricing made possible by its world-class direct-to-consumer fulfillment ecosystem. Goodfood currently has more than 300,000 active subscribers and over 3,800 dedicated and passionate employees across Canada.

Over the past year, Goodfood has transformed itself from a provider of ready-to-cook meals delivered directly to consumers’ homes into an Online Grocery company with a growing line of Private Label products. As part of this continued growth, we are looking to add a talented and motivated Senior Manager to head up our new Grocery Merchandising and New Verticals function, who will play a key role in shaping the way Canadians from coast-to-coast experience their online food shopping on a regular basis.

This role presents a unique opportunity to add value to the products we bring to market. On the Merchandising front you will ensure we do not miss a beat as we launch new products, go deep into seasonal opportunities, and group our selection to match need states for our customers. On the New Verticals front you will not only play an influential role in which adjacent categories we enter, but also in shaping their initial roadmaps and incubating these nascent categories before they graduate to fully fledged entities in their own right. Your fingerprints will literally be all over Goodfood’s next new businesses!

Responsibilities:

  • New Verticals
    • Work closely with our leadership team to identify which categories hold the largest opportunities and relevant adjacency to our existing businesses - these can range from within category innovation (e.g., fresh bakery, alcohol) to completely new verticals (e.g., pharmacy, pet food, general merchandise)
    • From the ground up, shape the optimal strategy and base product roadmap for these categories supported by a clear view of technical, financial, and operational implications of your chosen strategy
    • Nurture and develop these categories in their infancy until they are ready to be exported to the Category Management function independently
    • Work in tight collaboration with our Innovation and Incubation team to ensure any operational, technical, or other dependencies are highlighted and addressed to support new verticals

    Requirements:
    • 8 to 12 years of relevant experience; ideally in a role that has given you exposure to eCommerce merchandising of retail goods and/or building and growing a new business or product line in a fast-paced, start-up environment
    • Strong communicator able to synthesize information for stakeholders at multiple levels
    • Ability to quickly understand the unit economics and operational dependencies of our business
    • Ability to lead, manage, motivate, and build a team. Lead by example with optimism, passion, and initiative. Know when to delegate and when to lean in and lean out
    • Entrepreneurial mindset with can-do, problem-solving attitude. Previous experience building, growing, and incubating a team/business a major asset
    • Equally comfortable operating at 10,000 feet and 1 foot. You don’t hesitate to get in the weeds and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team. No job is beneath you. Be just as comfortable getting into the details of a spreadsheet or negotiating with a vendor as you are about stepping back and thinking about the broader strategic direction
    • Comfortable in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
    • Autonomous and able to act
