Manager, Marketing Operations - NAM

Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX

The Manager, Marketing Operations is the operational backbone of Arc’teryx North America Marketing. You will be standing up the go-to-market (GTM) operating rhythm and building the systems, processes, and performance discipline that enable world-class, brand marketing at scale.

This role creates clarity and visibility across teams on what’s launching, when, through which channels, and with what dependencies, ensuring coordinated, predictable, high quality execution. Partnering across Brand, Creative, Digital, Retail, E-commerce, Product, and Global teams, you ensure campaigns launch cleanly, data is trustworthy, workflows are efficient, and marketing investments are transparent and measurable. You bring structure without slowing momentum, creating shared visibility in how work moves, how decisions get made, how tools get used, and how results get understood.

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.

• Establishing clear ways of working with Creative, Brand, Digital, Retail, E-Comm, and Product; who does what, when decisions are needed, and what “done” looks like
