Senior Planner, Supply Operations

Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYXAs a Senior Planner, Supply Operations, you own how tactical supply planning turns complex supply scenarios into clear decisions that keep product flowing to the business. You are the supply subject‑matter expert across our tier 1 and tier 2 networks – the person the regions and the sourcing organization rely on to surface risk early, align on mitigation, and shape the buy.

You operate as a strategic partner – building the relationships and planning cadence that keep our regions and the sourcing organization aligned from scenario through buy placement. It’s a highly cross‑functional role with real ownership and visible impact across the global supply chain.
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.
