  • Contributing to the management of the product lifecycle management for each model, from development to commercialization, to eventual redesign, replacement or retirement
  • Contributing to seasonal selling plans and supporting our overall strategies (grow, diminish, hold, exist, launch + sell thru vs sell-in)
  • Supporting in research and analysis of the global marketplace to identify key consumer and market insights to inform concept work and development of new products and the range
  • Supporting in the preparation of product presentations for key calendar touchpoints that inspire and deliver critical information to our internal stakeholders, ensuring successful development of seasonal assets and plans
  • Contributing to Go To Market (GTM) product knowledge and supporting on the creation of selling tools and product information for our Commercial and Brand teams
  • Upholding Fair Labor Association's Workplace Code of Conduct and Principles of Fair Labor and Responsible Sourcing, throughout the Arc'teryx supply chain
Here are some things you could be working on in the future:
  • Collaborating with the Design and Development teams to contribute to a lineplan that delivers double digit sales growth, while delivering new and innovative product launches
  • Building cross-functional partnerships across the MP&A counterparts to help understand current business performance and leverage insights to guide and inform future range plans

  • You are proactive in identifying the root cause of issues and developing solutions
  • You are highly flexible and adaptable when faced with ambiguity
  • You effectively balance autonomy and collaboration
  • You inspire breakthrough thinking and continuous improvement
