About the company

Arc'teryx is focused on solving complex problems, delivering standout in-store experiences, and building products that can withstand the most challenging environments. The business depends on having the right stock in the right location at the right time, and this role helps make that happen.

Role overview

We are seeking an organised, analytical, and collaborative Allocator to support inventory availability across retail stores. In this role, you will work closely with Retail, Merchandising, Planning, Operations, and Customer Service teams to keep stock moving efficiently and to help stores deliver a strong guest experience.

This position offers variety from day to day, including stock movement management, replenishment planning, sales trend analysis, and support for store openings, campaigns, and seasonal product activity.

Key duties

• Manage inventory distribution across retail stores so product reaches the correct store at the appropriate time.
• Create allocation and replenishment plans using sales results, forecasts, and store-specific needs.
• Review trading results, sell-through, and inventory levels to spot risks and opportunities.
• Work with Retail teams to maintain healthy stock levels and address slow-moving inventory.

• Ability to juggle several priorities in a busy retail environment.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage stakeholders effectively.
• Understanding of retail operations and customer shopping behaviour across multiple channels.
• Proactive approach with a focus on improving processes and working more efficiently.
