Our mission is to nurture the things that make life better – great experiences, families, communities, and our employees. We are a family nurturing families.

A proudly Canadian company, we started in a small town in Nova Scotia but we are now in communities of all sizes across this great country. With over 1,600 stores in all 10 provinces, you may know us as Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, Foodland, FreshCo, Thrifty Foods, Lawtons Drug Stores or another of our great banners but we are all one extended family.

We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to lead the strategic development and ongoing evolution of our Atlas platform. In this role, you’ll bridge the gap between business goals and technical execution — guiding a diverse team, partnering with key stakeholders, and ensuring the product delivers tangible value across the enterprise.

• Execute on the strategic Atlas product roadmap aligned with enterprise vision, business objectives and market needs
• Work directly with internal stakeholders to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them
• Technical Decomp: synthesize complex, open-ended business problems into well-defined and structured development requirements, ensuring that the development priorities are based on concrete business benefits and outcomes
• Responsible for setting product governance in partnership with CTAO and EDO, product performance analysis, user adoption, identifying areas of improvement and ensure tech stack follows data privacy laws and compliance standards
• Lead a diverse team of specialists to enhance the product
• Develop a solid understanding of the platform to oversee the end-to-end product development lifecycle, advising both business and technical teams on the most optimal development path from ideation to launch and ongoing optimizations. Plan and execute on ongoing product releases. Coordinate system lifecycle upgrades, integration, security, privacy, infrastructure, testing requests, timelines across product deliverables
• Application Enhancements - Effectively manage backlog items into work packages/sprints and manage Agile Place item maintenance. Manage sprint deployment timelines and status for the backlog. Be the go-to person to help remove project or backlog blockers
• Project Planning - For Mid-Complex Projects, partner with Business Lead to create and manage project plans, including defining project scope, objectives, timelines, resource planning and budgets.
• Track and Communicate Project Progress - Provide regular, clear and concise visibility to enhancement/project status (key decisions, dependencies, issues, risks, metrics) on a standard cadence through status reporting and project/resource reviews.
• Risk and Issue Management - Manage and appropriately escalate project/product issues and key decision points (KDPs). Facilitate solutions to technical, functional, process and business problems.

What you have to offer:

• A bachelor’s degree in business administration, computer science, information technology, or a related field
• Strong engineering background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science
• 8+ years of relevant experience in technical product or project leadership roles
• Proven success delivering and scaling enterprise analytical platforms
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies; certification (CSM, PMP, etc.) is a plus
• Deep understanding of the application development lifecycle and production support
• Experience managing third-party vendors and outsourced development teams
• Sharp attention to detail, outstanding project management skills, and the ability to navigate ambiguity with confidence
