This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Director, International Strategy & Planning in Canada.

This role sits at the center of international expansion and enterprise growth strategy, driving how a leading platform brings its solutions to new global markets.
You will define and execute the international go-to-market vision across a broad portfolio of retail and enterprise offerings.
The position plays a key role in shaping market entry strategy, commercialization models, and long-term planning for international growth.
You will partner closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams including product, engineering, legal, finance, and operations.
The environment is highly strategic, fast-paced, and cross-functional, requiring both analytical rigor and executive presence.
You will also influence external retail partnerships and help translate complex strategies into clear execution plans.
This is a high-impact leadership role with visibility at the executive level and direct contribution to global expansion outcomes.

Accountabilities:
  • Define and lead the international retailer go-to-market strategy, including vision, commercialization approach, and expansion planning across multiple enterprise solutions in new global markets.
  • Oversee the international strategy and planning pillar, coordinating cross-functional collaboration with product, engineering, corporate development, legal, finance, operations, and other stakeholders.
  • Own long-range planning for international commercial growth, setting priorities, targets, and frameworks that guide strategic investment and execution.
  • Build and scale international commercial enablement tools such as ROI models, GTM materials, and competitive intelligence to support sales and partnership efforts.
  • Support strategic partnerships by identifying opportunities to accelerate market entry and strengthen platform adoption across regions.
  • Develop executive-level communications and presentations that clearly articulate strategy, progress, and performance to internal leadership and external partners.
Requirements:
  • 10+ years of experience in strategy, consulting, enterprise SaaS GTM, or retail/grocery industry roles with strong cross-functional exposure and proven business impact.
  • Experience building operating cadences and governance frameworks in complex, multi-region, and cross-functional environments.
  • Strong background in international market strategy, including new market entry, regulatory awareness, and working with distributed global teams.
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity, structure complex problems, and deliver clarity in fast-changing environments with an entrepreneurial mindset.
  • Excellent executive communication skills, with the ability to build compelling narratives for senior stakeholders and external partners.
  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills, with the ability to translate data into actionable insights and long-term plans.
  • Deep retailer empathy and understanding of commercial drivers in grocery and/or enterprise retail ecosystems.
  • Inspirational leadership experience, with a track record of building high-performing and engaged teams.
Benefits:
  • Competitive base salary ranging from CAD $234,000 to $247,000 depending on location and experience.
  • Eligibility for new hire equity grants and annual refresh equity awards.
  • Flexible remote-first work environment with autonomy over where you work.
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health coverage and additional employee support programs (varies by location).
  • Access to a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and innovation-driven work culture.
  • Opportunities for high executive visibility and impact on global growth strategy.
