Full Job Description

About the Opportunity

This is an opportunity to step into a true leadership role at a brand with strong momentum, direct access to the Founder, and real influence over where the product and business go next.

Framework Fashion [frameworkfashion.com] is conducting a confidential search on behalf of our client - a highly successful contemporary apparel brand headquartered in Los Angeles, with a strong presence across men's and women's, wholesale and DTC. The company is fast-moving, hands-on, and scaling. Company details will be shared with qualified candidates as the process progresses.

The Role

We're looking for a Head of Merchandising & Buying to lead the merchandising function and shape the product strategy across men's and women's. This is a highly visible role reporting directly to the Founder, with close, ongoing partnerships with the VP of Design and VP of Sales to align product, creative, and commercial strategy. Depending on the candidate, this role can be structured at the Director or VP level. This is a traditional merchandising and buying leadership role - line planning, assortment strategy, open-to-buy, seasonal strategy, and cross-functional alignment from concept through sell-in and in-season management. You'll manage a team of 2, and you'll be expected to be in the details as much as the strategy. This role requires genuine, equal fluency across both DTC and wholesale channels. You'll also need to bring equal fluency in creative and commercial thinking: someone who can hold a strong point of view on product while backing every decision with a balance of data and creative, forward thinking.

What You'll DoStrategy & Leadership

Own seasonal merchandising strategy and assortment architecture, balancing brand vision with commercial performance
Partner directly with the Founder on product direction and long-term brand strategy
Work hand-in-hand with the VP of Design to translate creative vision into an innovative, well-balanced line - grounded in data, financial rigor, and creative instinct
Align closely with Planning and the VP of Sales on assortment, pricing, and go-to-market strategy across wholesale and DTC channels
Represent merchandising in cross-functional leadership conversations, balancing a point of view with genuine collaboration
Lead, develop, and mentor a team of 2 direct reports; build out process and structure where needed without over-engineering a fast-moving, founder-led environment

Buying & Financial Planning

Own open-to-buy for all categories, managing seasonal budgets by category, channel, and door
Build and manage seasonal financial plans (sales, margin, markdown, inventory turn) in partnership with Planning and Finance
Set and manage pricing strategy and target margins by category
Own the buy calendar and critical path, ensuring on-time seasonal deliverables across the org
Ensure line plans are finalized and actionable on schedule, with clear ownership from concept through sell-in

Assortment & Line Planning

Build seasonal assortment plans by category, channel (wholesale vs. DTC), and door tier with equal attention on both channels
Translate design concepts into a balanced, commercially viable line - right style count, price architecture, and category mix
Lead seasonal line reviews and sell-in presentations for the sales team and key wholesale accounts, ensuring the line is fully understood and adopted by Sales ahead of market
Partner with design on curating the line at critical points in each season

In-Season Management

Monitor sell-through and weekly/monthly performance by style, category, and channel; drive in-season reads and re-forecasts
Manage reorders, chase units, and markdown strategy based on in-season performance
Own inventory allocation strategy across DTC and wholesale channels
Track and report on KPIs (sell-through, turn, margin, ST%) to Founder and leadership, ensuring data integrity and accuracy in all reporting

Market & Trend

Conduct market and competitive research to inform seasonal direction and identify white space
Attend market trips and trade shows as needed to source trend and vendor opportunities

Vendor & Cross-Functional Coordination

Partner with production/planning on delivery timelines, minimums, and capacity planning
Align with Design and PD on cost and margin throughout development
Coordinate with Sales on account-specific needs, SMUs, and exclusives where applicable
Build genuine wholesale account fluency - understanding account-level needs

What We're Looking For

Genuine, equal fluency in both DTC and wholesale channels - proven experience building assortments and strategy that serve both effectively
Proven merchandising and buying leadership experience at a contemporary apparel brand, ideally with both men's and women's category experience
A track record of building or scaling a merchandising function or category
Strong financial acumen - comfortable owning OTB planning, and P&L-level thinking, with a demonstrated ability to back creative decisions with data and analysis
A dynamic, roll-up-your-sleeves operator who can move fast and adapt in a founder-led, design-led environment
A confident collaborator, and a partner in business - someone who can hold a strong point of view, partner well across Design and Sales, and work as part of a team
Even-keeled and professional under pressure
Experience managing and developing teams
Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to build trust and buy-in quickly at the leadership level, including with Sales

Compensation

Annual pay for this position will range from $150,000 to $210,000 per year, depending on relevant experience as compared to the job requirements as outlined herein.
