"I’ve always wanted to work in the fashion business, and as someone who has shopped at Aritzia for years, I felt really connected to the brand. When I learned about Aritzia Rise, I was excited by the opportunity to work behind the scenes, learn more about the business and better understand the company’s incredible growth.”
