• Identify, size, and lead major revenue opportunities across assortment expansion, product innovation, and category optimization with minimal oversight.
  

• Oversee the full product lifecycle from assortment strategy to discontinuations, ensuring category completeness, competitiveness, and quality remain top-tier.
  

• Lead high-impact product launches, coordinating with sourcing, selection development, onboarding, design, operations, sales, and marketing to deliver best-in-class go-to-market plans.
  

• Conduct advanced market and trend analysis to anticipate shifts, uncover merchant needs, and proactively shape the product roadmap.
  

• Optimize catalog performance by driving initiatives around pricing strategy, product presentation, and discoverability.
  

• Mentor and guide Junior Category Managers / Associates, providing coaching, direction, and feedback to elevate team capabilities.
  

• Champion process improvements within Category Management, streamlining workflows, tooling, and cross-team communication to increase efficiency and consistency.

Your qualifications:

• 5+ years of category management, buying, merchandising, or similar commercial experience, ideally within e-commerce or a related high-growth retail environment.
  

• Strong track record of owning and growing a product category, with direct responsibility for revenue, margin, pricing, and product lifecycle strategy.
  

• Demonstrated strategic thinking with the ability to set long-term plans, build business cases, and drive alignment across multiple teams.
  

• Advanced analytical capabilities, including interpreting complex data sets and transforming insights into clear, actionable recommendations.
  

• High proficiency with analytics tools such as Excel/Google Sheets; experience with Power BI, Looker or similar BI tools is strongly preferred.
  

• Exceptional project management skills, with experience leading multi-team initiatives and managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  

• Strong leadership and mentoring abilities, with 2+ years of experience coaching junior team members or leading a small team.
  

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to influence decisions at all levels of the organization.
  

• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset, with the ability to operate independently and drive initiatives from idea to execution.
