Your Team:

We, the LATAM team, are responsible for developing On across the newly built region LATAM. LATAM is made up of markets managed by distribution partners as well as Brazil, a market that we manage directly with our own team.

• Supporting bringing Direct-to-Consumer into your territory. Finding new ways of collaborating with distribution partners, and working together with the central team at On, you ensure that we develop the brand across channels
