Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX:

As a new graduate in the Supply Chain Rotational Program, you’ll have the unique opportunity to gain experience across multiple different teams within our Supply Chain organization. You will bring your fresh perspective and eagerness to learn, and we will provide you with exposure to different areas within Supply Chain, and opportunities to enhance and develop your skills and experience to kickstart and grow your career.

At Arc’teryx we are rooted in the idea of “there is always a better way.” We are committed to engaging the whole person to develop and coach employees to achieve their goals and do their best work.

This role will be based out of our North Vancouver Head Office and our Manufacturing facility in New Westminster. Candidates must be eligible to work in Canada.

Meet Your Future Team:

The Supply Chain team at Arc’teryx brings the vision of our products physically to life and into the hands of our guests, wholesale partners, and retail stores across eight teams, working with various external parties and different areas of the business.

· Manufacturing – Our Manufacturing facility is where the most technical and iconic products are made. Beyond just producing the products, our Manufacturing facility is also where new products are incubated through a close partnership between Design, Production Creation Development and a team of product construction experts in Manufacturing to ensure best functionality and quality.

· Warehousing - The Warehousing and Logistics team is the small but mighty operational brain of the Arc’teryx brand and works in close concert with Arc’teryx Commercial, Merchandising, and other Supply Chain functions teams to deliver our business goals in the near and long-term. This team plays a critical role in ensuring services delivered are in line with brand strategic objectives.

· Integrated Business Planning – A team with true end-to-end visibility across our business and our business processes, pivotal in developing and implementing robust process frameworks, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and operational efficiency enhancement.

· Sustainability - The Sustainability team is responsibility for our global sustainability strategy and leads our objectives in critical areas like climate, circularity, and impact to help guide Arc’teryx toward a future where sustainability is integral to our success.
