Job description

Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX:

As a Senior Manager, Global Supply Operations, you lead the team and the strategy that connect global planning, regional execution, and business priorities into reliable, scalable supply delivery. You build and develop a high-performing planning team, set the standard for how we operate, and influence decisions at the enterprise level. As the senior supply expert in the room, you partner with cross-functional leaders to drive alignment and own the transformation of our processes, systems, and planning capability as the business scales. You manage complex global supply networks and turn strategy into execution — raising the bar on what the function can deliver and growing the leaders who will carry it forward.

This role is based out of our North Vancouver office and is open to hybrid remote work. Candidates must be eligible to work in Canada.

Meet Your Future Team:

Planning aligns inventory, supply, and business priorities to ensure products are available where and when they are needed. The team develops planning strategies, establishes key priorities and KPIs, and partners cross-functionally with Merchandising, Finance, Sourcing, and Operations teams to deliver integrated plans. Through scenario planning, supply-demand balancing, and forecast optimization, Global Planning enables informed decision-making and agile responses to evolving business needs. By connecting long-range strategy with day‑to‑day execution, the team helps drive operational efficiency, inventory productivity, and sustainable growth across the global business.

If you were in the Senior Manager, Supply Operations role now, here are some of the core activities you would be doing:

• Leading, coaching, and developing a team of supply planners — setting clear goals, growing capability, and building bench strength
• Owning the evolution of global supply operations — driving transformation of processes, systems, and planning capability as the business scales
• Leading and owning global supply delivery into the regions
• Acting as the single point of contact between the Global Supply Plan and regional teams
• Leading the supply response into IBP, partnering with Global Inventory Planning to translate the global supply plan into regional impacts — mitigating risks and seizing opportunities
• Owning the supply plan inputs to the S&OE process, partnering with Regional Production teams to identify supply gaps, translate them to business impact, and drive mitigation across supply teams
• Setting buy strategies across T1/T2 with the sourcing organization (Finished Goods and Raw Material Supply teams) — LLT exceptions, one‑time buys, MOQ reviews, buy windows, and material pre‑positioning
• Overseeing the monthly “Need to Buy” process and seasonal calendars for buy dates and shipping schedules
• Owning capacity risk assessment and driving resolution with global and regional planning teams
• Building deep cross‑site, cross‑functional relationships with Global and Regional Merchandising and Demand Planning, Regional Production, and Distribution/Logistics to adjust plans as forecast, supply, or customer orders change

Here are some of the things you could be working on in the future:

• Driving supply chain transformation and optimization initiatives that improve agility, visibility, and decision‑making at scale
• Setting global standards for planning processes, KPIs, and operating cadence across regions
• Developing the next generation of planning talent and future leaders on the team

Are you our next Senior Manager, Supply Operations?

• You have 8‑10+ years in supply planning, production planning, or a related supply chain role, including direct people‑leadership experience
• You are an experienced people leader who sets a clear vision, aligns and develops your team, and builds commitment to shared goals
• You have led change and transformation at scale, improving agility, visibility, and decision‑making across a supply organization
• You bring specialized supply chain operations expertise and provide strategic oversight across complex global networks
• You are highly strategic, with strong business acumen — spotting opportunities and risks and turning them into growth
• You have solid knowledge of T1/T2 production flow and management
• You communicate and present with confidence and credibility to stakeholders at every level, from planners to executives
• You have advanced knowledge of SAP and/or an equivalent ERP/planning system and order management processes

• You remain highly flexible and adaptable when faced with ambiguity
• You effectively balance autonomy and collaboration
• You inspire breakthrough thinking and continuous improvement
• You seek the best (sometimes not the easiest) solutions, with an unwavering commitment to do what is right
