Jeremy Pee is set to depart M&S just months after assuming an expanded position with the UK retailer.
Pee was hired in 2018 from Canadian supermarket chain Loblaw.
He took on the role of Chief Digital and Technology Officer earlier this year.
He was previously Chief Digital and Data Officer, and held that position for just over four years.
“After five years at M&S, Jeremy is moving his family back to Canada in a planned move,” a spokesman for the retailer told The Times.
His responsibilities will be taken on by Co-Chief Executive officer Katie Bickerstaffe until a replacement is found.

Sharon Peters
In March, Sharon Peters left M&S, where she had most recently served as Head of Technology – Corporate, HR, Finance, Plan A, GC, Bank Loyalty, Property, to take on the role of CIO at shared communications infrastructure big hitter BAI Communications.
Peters, who spent almost 16 years at Marks and Spencer, said in a LinkedIn post: “It’s time to say goodbye to my M&S family.”
“What a brilliant and memorable collection of experiences I have had with the best teams. I have had the honour of activating sustained change through tech whilst being inspired and inspiring (I hope) awesome colleagues.”
She added: “I’ve seen such positive change across the business and I am proud to have been a part of it. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, laughed with me (and at me !!) and celebrated with me. I wish everyone huge success for the future.”
“It was going to take something pretty incredible and special for my next adventure and I am very excited for this.”
Replying to the LinkedIn post, Mike Yorwerth, Chief Technology Officer at M&S, said: “Sharon – we will miss your boundless energy, enthusiasm and positivity. You’ve been brilliant for the Tech team, for gender equality, for sustainability and for M&S as a whole and we wish you every success in the future. I am sure you will be amazing.”
