  • Build and execute seasonal buy plans against open-to-buy (OTB), sales, and gross margin targets
  • Analyze sell-through, best sellers, and margin performance to shape future assortments
  • Partner with Planning, Allocation, Sourcing, Design, Marketing, and Ecommerce teams to deliver the seasonal calendar on time
  • Manage vendor relationships, delivery timelines, and cost negotiations
  • Manage, coach, and develop one direct report in the early stages of their buying career

  • Ownership of the full buying cycle, including pricing and in-season actions
  • Product vision and the ability to translate it into a clear, commercial strategy, with a creative approach to new ideas
  • A self-starter who solves problems independently and runs day-to-day operations without needing direction
  • Strong retail math: OTB, sell-through, markup, markdown, gross margin, and GMROIInterest in, or experience with, coaching and developing junior team members
  • Advanced Excel skills; experience with PLM and ERP systems
  • What’s on offer
  • Medical, dental, and vision 401(k)
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays
  • Tuition reimbursement and 24/7 member assistance program
