Our unique position as one of the country's largest employers, coupled with our commitment to positively impact the lives of all Canadians, provides our colleagues a range of opportunities and experiences to help Canadians Live Life Well®.
At Loblaw Companies Limited, we succeed through collaboration and commitment and set a high bar for ourselves and those around us. Whether you are just starting your career, re-entering the workforce, or looking for a new job, this is where you belong.
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 an Executive Assistant who is a trusted partner to the Group Chief Risk Officer and VP, Risk Advisory, while also supporting the wider Risk Advisory team.
This is a hands-on role where great judgment and follow-through make a real difference. You will anticipate needs, solve problems early and help our leaders focus on what matters most. Your top priority is complex calendar management: protecting executive time and coordinating with senior executives, Board members and their teams across Loblaw, Shoppers Drug Mart, Choice Properties and George Weston Limited. You will also keep the broader group-wide Risk Advisory team running smoothly, from meetings and governance activities to invoices, contracts and payments in a complex corporate environment.
