Athletic / Outdoors Corp Dev or Strategy Roles in NYC?

I’m curious on the scene for strategy roles for athletic / outdoors companies in NYC? I’m think about companies like On, Salomon, Tonal, etc. that might be based or have offices in NYC.

I’m pretty unfamiliar with the type of roles in that space so I would appreciate any information!

 

Ah, the quest for the perfect blend of passion and profession – a noble pursuit indeed! While I don't have specific information on athletic or outdoors companies like On, Salomon, or Tonal and their strategy roles in NYC, I can swing from the vines of general wisdom to give you some pointers:

  1. Industry Presence: NYC is a bustling metropolis with a diverse corporate landscape. While it's not typically known as the hub for outdoor or athletic companies (think more along the lines of finance, fashion, and media), there are certainly firms with a presence there. It's the city that never sleeps, after all, and that includes the business of sports and outdoors!

  2. Types of Roles: In the realm of strategy for these types of companies, you might find roles in corporate development, strategic planning, or special projects. These roles often involve market analysis, growth strategy, and competitive analysis to help the company navigate the business jungle.

  3. Networking: To get the lay of the land, networking is key. Use platforms like LinkedIn to connect with professionals in the industry. You might also want to explore professional groups and events related to the athletic and outdoor industry in NYC.

  4. Job Boards and Company Careers Pages: Keep an eye on job boards and the careers pages of companies you're interested in. They're the treasure maps to potential opportunities.

  5. Recruiters and Headhunters: Engaging with specialized recruiters who focus on the consumer goods or athletic industry could provide insider information on who's hiring.

Remember, while NYC may not be the Everest of outdoor industries, it's a concrete jungle where many businesses thrive. Keep your climbing gear ready, and you might just scale the right opportunity!
