The posting

About the Role The Director, Advanced Performance is a senior leadership role at the heart of CCM’s innovation vision. Reporting to the VP, Product Innovation and Commercialization, you will set the vision and strategy that fuels CCM’s long-term product pipeline — leading both the Advanced team and the Performance Research team to push the boundaries of what hockey equipment can do. This is a role for a design-forward, scientifically grounded leader who thrives at the intersection of consumer insight, emerging technology, and elite athletic performance. You’ll be CCM’s internal champion for innovation culture, and an external ambassador with the universities, coaches, and partners who help us stay ahead. What You’ll Own Vision & Strategy

Define and drive CCM’s innovation vision and pipeline strategy across all product categories. Identify where to invest in new technologies, materials, and design directions — and make the case internally. Provide regular updates to senior leadership on innovation priorities and progress. Manage the innovation budget with strategic alignment to the broader product creation vision.

Research & Insights

Lead internal and external research programs to generate deep, actionable insights into player needs and performance. Build and maintain a network of university partners, elite skill coaches, and pro team collaborators. Translate consumer feedback, market trends, and research findings into concrete product recommendations for Business Unit teams. Stay at the forefront of design, technology, and performance science trends globally.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Serve as the connective tissue between the Advanced team, Performance Research team, and Business Units — ensuring innovation vision is shared, understood, and actioned across the organization. Work in close partnership with the SR Manager, Engineering to bridge design and research innovation with materials and process innovation — ensuring concepts are both visionary and manufacturable. Collaborate with engineers, designers, and BU managers to align innovation focus across Skates, Sticks, Protective, Head & Face, Goalie, and Pro. Ensure insights and prototypes are delivered according to the product development calendar and handed off effectively to Commercialization teams.

Team Leadership

Lead and develop the Advanced and Performance Research teams, building a culture of experimentation — failing fast, iterating quickly, and validating concepts with rigor. Develop team capabilities to maximize innovation output and maintain CCM’s competitive edge.

What You Bring

Degree in Industrial Design, Engineering, Business, or a related field; a Master’s degree or MBA is a strong asset. 15+ years of experience in product creation, innovation, or performance research — ideally in a sporting goods or consumer products environment. Proven experience leading multi-disciplinary teams and influencing cross-functional stakeholders. Deep expertise in industrial design and aesthetic trends, with a strong grasp of manufacturing processes and research protocols. Strong financial acumen — comfortable managing a cost-center budget with strategic priorities. Excellent communicator, equally effective presenting to the shop floor and the executive suite. A genuine passion for hockey and athlete performance is a strong asset. Bilingualism (French and English) is an asset; role is based in Ville St-Laurent.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
