Program Management Consultant – Retail Transformation

Giant Tiger is looking for an experienced Program Management Consultant – Retail Transformation to join a high-priority business and store transformation initiative.

This is an independent consulting engagement and not employment with Giant Tiger
. The successful consultant will provide services as an independent contractor and will invoice Giant Tiger for services provided under a consulting services agreement.

We are looking for someone who can step into a complex transformation already underway, quickly establish the structure and discipline required for delivery, and work alongside senior leaders and cross‑functional teams to move the program forward.

The right person will bring deep program management experience, practical Agile expertise and, ideally, experience delivering transformation within a multi-store retail environment.

You will lead the program management and execution of a complex, cross‑functional retail transformation, translating established strategic direction into an integrated delivery plan and driving execution across multiple interconnected work streams.

Working closely with the Program Lead and Workstream Leads, you will create the pace, visibility and discipline required to keep the overall program moving—connecting plans, surfacing dependencies and risks, facilitating decisions and ensuring teams deliver against agreed commitments.

This is a hands‑on delivery role. We are looking for someone who can quickly understand the work, identify what is needed, establish effective ways of working and drive execution without requiring significant direction.

• Build and actively manage an integrated program plan connecting work streams, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, critical paths and key decision points.
• Establish and lead a practical Agile delivery approach, including sprint planning, workstream cadences, backlog management, prioritization, retrospectives and iterative delivery.
• Drive execution across interconnected work streams and maintain momentum against agreed outcomes and timelines.
• Lead cross‑functional planning and working sessions, helping senior leaders and teams move from competing perspectives to clear decisions, ownership and action.
• Identify and actively manage program risks, dependencies, resource constraints and changing priorities.
• Surface trade‑offs and decisions requiring leadership direction, bringing forward clear recommendations and implications.
• Maintain visibility to the critical path and recommend changes to sequencing, resources or delivery plans as requirements evolve.
• Drive implementation readiness across work streams ahead of key milestones.
• Provide concise, decision‑oriented program reporting and insights to senior leadership.
• Establish fit‑for‑purpose program management tools, including integrated plans, decision logs, action trackers and risk/issue management.
• Support effective knowledge transfer to internal teams as the engagement progresses.

These expectations reflect the core delivery accountabilities in the role design, particularly Agile delivery, cross‑functional execution, executive decision support, critical‑path management and implementation readiness.

You have significant experience stepping into complex enterprise transformation programs and getting them moving.

Ideally, you bring:

• Extensive senior‑level program/project management experience leading complex business transformations with multiple interconnected work streams.
• Retail and store transformation experience, ideally involving implementation across multiple operating locations.
• Demonstrated, hands‑on experience applying Agile delivery methods in complex business environments—not simply Agile certification.
• Strong…
