Key Account Representative, NAM

As a Key Account Representative, you will support the work to evolve how the Arc'teryx vision comes to life at the brand's key strategic wholesale accounts. When successful, a guest walking through these doors steps into a seamless brand experience. While an uncompromised brand presence is the #1 goal, it will be satisfying to watch sales grow, both in core and emerging categories of the brand. You will work with key external stakeholders to understand their needs and then will collaborate with internal teams at Arc'teryx from Marketing to Merchandising to Allocations to Finance to the field teams to build a plan that brings a collective strategy and vision to life. Your closest partners are the National Account Managers and their associated accounts. Your work will support and complement their seasonal strategies within a narrow set of accounts and categories. You will support sell-in, whilst taking a lead on analyzing sell-through and maximizing in-season business. Your work will contribute to the development of 3-year account planning; further driving the brand's excellence in North American wholesale.

This is a hybrid role, based in Portland, Oregon, and is eligible for a hybrid work schedule. Frequent market travel is required to key US epicenters.
