Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX:

As the Senior Global Brand Manager at Arc’teryx, you will drive the brand’s positioning across our Snow, Trail and Climb activity categories, ensuring focus and forward-thinking market strategies.

This role will be responsible for leading a future team of activity-focused brand managers, while maintaining ownership over one category, Snow, Trail or Climb.

This role can be hired remote and will require regular travel into the North Vancouver headquarters. Business operations occur on Pacific time zone.
