Meet Your Future Team:

The SG&A Operations team is the operational core of SG&A FP&A at Arc'teryx. SG&A Operations owns the engine to support SG&A across the company: the processes, templates, reporting rhythms, and continuous improvement roadmap that drive consistent planning and reporting across the company.

The team operates across three lanes: repeatable core work, ad hoc and project support, and Centre of Excellence initiatives that improve how FP&A operates across functions. This is a team that runs the SG&A machine, improves the machine, and develops the people who will lead it next.

• Forecast and Budget Support: Contributing to forecast and budget cycles by preparing templates, consolidating inputs, validating data, and ensuring outputs are accurate and on time.
• Standard Reporting: Owning recurring cost center and OPEX reporting for your functional area, ensuring outputs are consistent, reliable, and easy to understand.
• Ad Hoc Analysis: Supporting business cases, spend deep dives, scenario modelling, and Senior Manager requests as they arise, bringing analytical rigor and clear communication to every deliverable.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Building direct working relationships with directors, cost center owners, and functional teams, acting as a reliable and knowledgeable point of contact for planning and reporting needs.
• Data Integrity and Quality: Performing data validation and QA checks within recurring processes, identifying issues early and resolving them at the source before they affect outputs.
• Process Improvement: Contributing to Centre of Excellence initiatives by identifying inefficiencies in recurring work and helping design better ways of doing things. Leading at least one improvement project per year.
• Template and Governance Support: Supporting the maintenance and improvement of SG&A planning templates, ensuring consistency across functions and reducing manual rework for the broader team.
