Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX

As the Director of Global Enterprise Planning on the Strategy team, you architect the planning system that connects Arc’teryx’s long-term strategy to annual priorities, resource allocation, and performance accountability. This is a systems-level role: you own the infrastructure that keeps leadership aligned, decisions grounded, and execution honest.

You own the enterprise planning process end-to-end – Strategic Planning Kickoff, Long-term Strategic Planning, AOP/budget prioritization, and Quarterly Business Reporting – while also owning the broader operating infrastructure: Excom and Board of Directors preparation, the strategic calendar, and the decision frameworks that ensure the right conversations happen with the right information at the right time.

You bring both architectural thinking and executional precision. You know when to build a new system and when to simplify an existing one. You are a credible executive partner, comfortable working directly with functional leaders and Finance to drive planning rigour across a complex, global business.

This role is based out of our North Vancouver office and is open to hybrid work (or remote Canada with travels to North Vancouver, BC). Candidates must be eligible to work in Canada.
