About COROS

We are a sports technology company dedicated to developing the best training solutions for athletes worldwide. Our mission is to leverage technology to solve the challenges athletes and sports enthusiasts face, helping them train smarter and perform at their best. Our aim is to deliver the best product while staying approachable, customer-focused, and ensuring that customer feedback directly shapes our innovation.

Our team spans across the globe. Our hardware and product engineering power comes from our headquarters in China, whereas our local teams in North America and Europe run marketing, sales, operations, and customer support to stay firmly connected in the local communities we serve. We are a team of doers, creative heads, sports lovers, and curious learners who thrive on ownership, trust, flexibility and team spirit.

• Represent COROS at trade shows, expos, and community events across your markets. Plan booth setup, product demonstrations, and partner engagement activities.
• Conduct ongoing research on competitor activity and consumer trends. Provide actionable insights to shape regional strategy and product allocation.
• Oversee retail display standards, POS material deployment, and merchandising consistency across partner stores in the region.
• Track KPIs, including activations, sell-through rates, campaign ROI, and distributor performance, to measure business health and identify growth opportunities.
