The Buyer owns end-to-end merchandising leadership for a category, translating brand and financial strategy into a differentiated, profitable assortment.

Product development. Partner with Product Development and Design on relevant, on-trend seasonal concepts; review and curate design sketches with an eye to key trends, assortment gaps and volume-driving styles; negotiate cost with source suppliers.
Channel-right assortments. Tailor assortment depth, breadth and exclusives to each channel — including channel-specific and capsule offers for Marketplace, Wholesale and Shop-in-Shop partners.

FINANCIAL PLANNING & ANALYSIS

Co-own the financials. Co-own financial goals with Planning — including open-to-buy, SKU rationalization, life-cycle management and promotional strategy — and co-lead monthly projection reviews to manage OTB and reforecast.
Analyze & act. Analyze the business to drive sales and margin, including monthly Pareto and sell-through analysis, and act on the findings to optimize wins and minimize risks.
Inventory productivity. Partner with Planning and Demand Planning to drive turn and GMROI$ to benchmark, using disciplined Pareto analysis, demand-driven inventory flow, in-stock optimization, and proactive life-cycle and liquidation management across all six channels.
Report & recommend. Build and present clear, data-backed viewpoints and financial recommendations to leadership in buying and cross-functional meetings.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

Bachelor's Degree plus 5+ years of related Buying experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Some travel required, 1–2 times per quarter.
