Raiche joined the Alouettes in December 2015 when Jim Popp was general manager. She was elevated to the role of assistant general manager last January.

She has a law degree from the University of Sherbrooke and was admitted into the Quebec Bar Association in 2012. She practiced corporate and tax law for three years at the law firm Gascon & Associates before coming to the Alouettes.

Montreal lost 11 straight games to finish the 2017 season finished at 3-15, the worst record in the league. The Alouettes scored a league-low 314 points and were the only team that averaged less than 20 points per game (17.4). Since 2013, the Alouettes have a 33-55 record and have missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, tying a franchise-worst streak.
