Engagement Manager, Digital Transformation Office

Full-time | Hybrid (2–3 days/week from the office) | Garching (Munich) | ~30% travel to key office locations globally

We're looking for an Engagement Manager, Digital Transformation Office for Amer Sports' office in Garching (Munich).

Amer Sports is a global collective of iconic sports and outdoor brands, powered by a community of people who share a passion for authenticity, impact, and excellence. We bring together leading brands, talented teams, and a culture built on collaboration. If you're looking for an environment where you can make an impact and grow your career, we invite you to explore the opportunity below.

This role sits at the heart of Amer Sports' enterprise-wide digital and IT transformation — partnering with senior leaders across iconic brands like Arc'teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic, and Peak Performance to turn bold transformation strategies into tangible, measurable results. If you come from a management consulting background and are ready to step out of the advisory seat and drive real change from the inside, this is your opportunity to shape our company's digital agenda with direct exposure to the Group CDIO and Executive Committee.
