Senior Planner, Supply Operations

**Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX:**

As 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 connect supply impacts to business performance, influence the trade-offs that get made, and raise the bar on how the team plans. 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.

**Meet Your Future Team:**

Planning aligns inventory, supply, and business priorities to ensure products are available where and when they are needed. The team develops planning strategies, establishes key priorities and KPIs, and partners cross-functionally with Merchandising, Finance, Sourcing, and Operations teams to deliver integrated plans. Through scenario planning, supply-demand balancing, and forecast optimization, Global Planning enables informed decision-making and agile responses to evolving business needs. By connecting long-range strategy with day-to-day execution, the team helps drive operational efficiency, inventory productivity, and sustainable growth across the global business.
