Operations Manager, lululemon
Jill has worked in the apparel industry since graduating from the University of Victoria and Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Fashion Marketing Program. She began her career as an intern in Visual Merchandising for Kit and Ace, where she discovered her passion for working with product, collaborating with creative teams, and project management. After spending just over a year at Kit and Ace, Jill joined lululemon to continue her passion for Visual Merchandising. After spending time with the team there, she decided to pursue more operational focused work and joined the Design Operations team and later, the Product Engagement team where she created internship, practicum, mentorship, and volunteer programs for the Global Product team – comprising of 1000+ individuals on a global scale. After working in the Product space for six years, Jill made the transition over to the Talent Acquisition team leading the Global Internship Program on an enterprise level – funneling entry-level talent in through the business, starting with internships and moving them into full-time positions within the organization. Most recently, Jill took on a new role under the Health, Wealth & Mobility space as their Operations Manager, overseeing budget, team engagement, and planning. Jill enjoys running, going to spin class and skiing in Whistler on the weekends.
