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:

Global Supply Chain Planning aligns global supply with business priorities, ensuring products are available where and when they are needed. The team sets supply strategy, defines key priorities and KPIs, and partners cross-functionally with Merchandising, Finance, and operations teams to deliver integrated plans. We balance supply and demand through scenario planning and by optimizing production and inventory against evolving forecasts. Working closely with suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics partners, we maintain efficient inventory levels and reliable execution. Global Supply Planning connects strategy to execution to drive consistency, efficiency, and growth across the global supply chain.

If you were in the Senior Planner, Supply Operations role now, here are some of the core activities you would be doing:

• Acting as the primary supply point of contact for the regions and the sourcing organization, building the relationships and planning cadence that keep plans aligned

• Driving the holistic view of T1/T2 mitigation scenarios through planning stage-gates, up to buy placement
• Translating supply impacts for the business and regions ahead of seasonal buy placements
• Leading the supply response into IBP, partnering with Global Inventory Planning to translate the global supply plan into regional impacts — mitigating risks and seizing opportunities
• Partnering with the sourcing organization (Finished Goods and Raw Material Supply teams) to shape buy strategies across T1/T2 — LLT exceptions, one-time buys, MOQ reviews, buy windows, and material pre-positioning
• Owning and executing the monthly “Need to Buy” process and seasonal calendars for buy dates and shipping schedules
• Owning capacity risk assessments and driving resolution with global and regional planning teams
• Synthesizing capacity and production updates into clear regional communication
• Partnering with Global and Regional Merchandising and Demand Planning teams to adjust plans as forecast or capacity shifts
• Analyzing buy acceptance rates to surface risks and opportunities, and translating them into action

Here are some of the things you could be working on in the future:

• Driving process improvements that scale across the supply planning process
• Creating risk and mitigation strategies and playbooks to support T1/T2 scenario planning
