• Creating an environment where people thrive, fostering inclusion, psychological safety and a high-performance culture that enables every teammate to do their best work.
• Representing Arc’teryx externally, building relationships with retail partners and local outdoor communities to strengthen the brand’s presence across the region.
• Leading through change, confidently navigating new store openings, evolving business priorities and organisational change while keeping teams engaged and focused.

Success in this role isn’t measured solely by sales. It’s reflected in the strength of your leaders, the experiences your teams create, the communities you build and the lasting impact you have on the region.
