Information Technology - Senior Manager/Manager, Technical Program Management

About the role

Aritzia is growing, and our Engineering Enablement team is growing with it. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the operational engine of our Platform organization, the team responsible for building the technical foundation that powers Aritzia.

You will be a force multiplier, professionalizing the "How" of engineering to ensure our builders can move faster, safer, and with greater autonomy. As a Senior Technical Program Manager / Technical Program Manager , you will own the "When" - orchestrating the master schedule, complex dependencies, and the logistics of our hybrid workforce. You will bridge the gap between strategy and execution, ensuring that our foundational initiatives land on time and deliver exponential value to our Solution Delivery teams. With the skills you gain in this role, the opportunities are endless - from a rewarding career in Technology to continued growth and development with Aritzia.

Ability to design complex automation and enforce data hygiene, while utilizing SQL/APIs to independently validate status and generate flow metrics A sense of urgency and ability to prioritize important work An understanding and a passion for the industry in which we operate THE COMPENSATION At Aritzia, we provide market-leading compensation packages designed to reward impact through our pay-for-performance philosophy.
