The Role
At MEC, we exist to connect people to a lifetime of amazing experiences outdoors.
MEC's Marketing team is growing and we are looking to add a Marketing Manager (II). As Marketing Manager, you’ll lead key MEC marketing campaigns and programs from planning through execution; translating business priorities into clear briefs, timelines, channel plans, and deliverables. This is a hands‑on role for someone who is just as comfortable building the plan as they are tracking the details, following up with partners, solving problems, and ensuring work gets out the door at a high standard.
You’ll also drive growth initiatives, priority categories, MEC Label, seasonal campaigns, and catalogue work by turning inputs from across the business into practical plans that teams can action.
This role requires a robust hands‑on operator; someone who can see the bigger picture, but is happiest close to the work: managing timelines, clarifying deliverables, chasing details, resolving blockers, and keeping cross‑functional teams moving.
Location: This is a hybrid role based out of MEC Head Office in Vancouver, requiring you to be in office 2 to 3 days a week.
As the Marketing Manager, you'll:
Manage Campaigns from Plan to Launch Lead Tier 1 and Tier 2 campaigns (i.e. Black Friday, Camp Season) and projects from brief through launch, ensuring the work is explicit, coordinated, and delivered on time

Turn Inputs into Clear Plans Distill inputs from Merchandising, Operations, Digital, Retail, and Brand into clear plans with owners, timelines, deliverables, and next steps
Translate seasonal priorities, growth categories, and business goals into practical campaign and channel plans
Clarify scope, dependencies, risks, and decisions so teams know what needs to happen and when

Own Timelines, Details, and Follow-Through Own timelines end-to-end, driving progress, resolving blockers, and ensuring delivery
Track open decisions, risks, dependencies, and next steps to keep work moving

Track Performance and Improve the Work Define success upfront and track performance against clear business outcomes

Use learnings to optimize campaign planning, channel execution, and internal ways of working
Work Cross‑Functionally to Get Things Done Act as a connector across Marketing, Merchandising, Retail, Creative, Digital, Operations, and Ecomm
Keep stakeholders aligned, informed, and moving toward decisions
Bring structure and momentum to complex workstreams, especially when there are competing priorities or tight timelines
Communicate clearly, proactively, and practically so teams understand what is needed and can act quickly




What You Bring 5–7+ years of marketing experience, 4+ of which as a Marketing Manager

Hands‑on operator who is energized by the details and comfortable doing the work, not just directing it
Strong project management skills, including workbacks, timelines, approvals, dependencies, and follow‑through
