Job Description

The best gear is a catalyst for adventure, and our House Brands are the foundation of that mission. We’re hiring an Associate Merchandiser to serve as the primary steward of our owned labels, ensuring every seasonal drop is on-brand, on-time, and built for the field. This is an entrepreneurial seat for a merchant who lives for the "white space"- finding that perfect, missing piece of the puzzle, and has the analytical chops to turn a great idea into a high-performing brand.

Working closely with the Director of House Brand Merchandising, you’ll be the glue between Design, Marketing, and Planning, treating these brands like your own startup and obsessing over the details that turn customers into lifelong fans.

This role is based out of our headquarters in Austin, TX; relocation support will be provided to a remote hire.

• Collaborate with planning on receipt management, inventory, and financial targets
• Identify white space opportunities and present recommendations to the broader merchant team

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in merchandising, buying, or product development — ideally in apparel, footwear, or lifestyle brands
• Experience owning or supporting a brand assortment with strong commercial instincts
• Ability to build and manage line plans, product briefs, and LRPs
• Strong cross-functional communicator — comfortable partnering with Design, PD, Marketing, and Channels
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple brand calendars and deadlines simultaneously
• Deep curiosity and passion for brand storytelling and product
