Own category performance end to end
This role sits at the center of two key workstreams: shaping what supply comes onto the platform before demand catches up to it, and deploying the supply we already have against the right seasonal story at the right moment. Categories are built utilizing both levers continuously in response to real time data tracking.
Turn market movement into action
Track sell-through, trend velocity, search behavior, and category liquidity closely enough to catch what is building and conversely, what is downtrending. Turn that read into merchandising calls and recommendations the rest of the org can act on.
Develop an always-on supply demand mindset
Break inventory health down by category, brand, and price point to see where supply is too thin to meet demand, and where depth exists but isn’t converting.
Then work both angles: pull demand levers against the inventory we already hold, and push the supply team to acquire what we don’t. This is the core skill the role is built around — not just diagnosing the imbalance, but developing and honing levers to address it.
Get product in front of the right audience at the right time
Partnering with product and engineering you create usable data frameworks for making product and assortment decisions — shaping feed ranking, search, PDPs, and editorial placement, not just the homepage carousel. The goal is influence embedded throughout the experience, wherever it moves the category forward.
Set the category’s seasonal messaging cadence
Work with merchandising, marketing, product and data teams plan seasonal pushes, trend moments, and promotional windows in step with growth marketing, paid media, and supply. Every seasonal moment should be a chance to activate existing inventory and influence and highlight where future supply needs are.
