We work with our people to create a diverse workplace where everyone belongs and has the opportunity to succeed. We welcome all applicants to join our diverse team. Tell us what you need during the hiring process, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

The Role As a Product Information Specialist, you own the process of getting new gear online and customer-ready on mec.ca. Balancing speed with attention to detail, you enrich product information and publish products quickly so we don’t miss peak selling seasons- all while bringing MEC’s trusted expertise to the online experience.

Location: This role can be performed in a hybrid capacity from MEC's Head Office in Vancouver, BC, or remotely from anywhere within Canada.
