Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX:

As our Senior Product Testing Analyst you will be responsible for building and managing our footwear product testing efforts in China, which will deliver feedback and insights throughout the footwear development lifecycle. You will lead the organization, execution, and reporting of testing efforts in China from product briefs through final prototypes, ensuring products meet performance, fit, and durability standards. You will work closely with our global product testing team (based in Vancouver, BC) and footwear product creation partners (in Portland, OR) to ensure our products meet the high performance and quality standards of the Chinese market and will influence our design direction accordingly.
As our Senior Product Testing Analyst you will have a distinctive opportunity to oversee a regional program by building a footwear testing framework, establishing a network of regional testers, and managing testing schedules to ensure China-specific feedback is captured effectively.
This role will be based in China. Candidates must be eligible to work in China.


Meet Your Future Team:
The Footwear Testing team sits within Arc’teryx’s Footwear Team, which creates innovative, aesthetically striking product that exceeds the core mountain athlete’s outdoors needs across climbing, hiking, and trail running categories. We are builders, problem solvers and passionate outdoor enthusiasts. Fueled by curiosity, we take an immersive approach to identifying our athlete’s future needs – then, build, test, and validate products that solve for real functional challenges. We are a passionate collective with a focus on collaborative teamwork, and our vision is to redefine the industry.

  • Managing testing calendars and timelines, ensuring alignment across testing process and overall Footwear milestone dates.

  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with athletes and core product testers

  • Capturing performance and fit feedback to impact product solutions and decisions.

  • Compiling and delivering test results at key moments in the product creation process.

  • Identifying risks, and opportunities based on qualitative and quantitative tester feedback

  • Communicating testing progress and outcomes regularly with the Testing Manager

  • Travelling to regions within China to meet testers and conduct field testing.

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

  • Develop an expanded recruitment strategy to increase the representation of the tester pool across key categories of Run, Climb and Hike

  • Exploring new innovative testing methodologies to deepen performance insights

  • Working towards optimizing and enhancing workflows and data capture systems to increase data quality and efficiencies

  • Working directly with sponsored athletes and will suggest product modifications to meet their unique needs.
