Responsibilities:
• Define and execute the growth strategy for apparel within the platform
• Own category-level performance across supply, engagement, and revenue
• Establish quarterly goals, leading indicators, and operating rhythms
• Maintain deep, current knowledge of apparel culture, including:
• Key sellers, creators, designers, brands, and retailers
• Sub-segments (streetwear, luxury, contemporary, vintage, performance, regional styles, etc.)
• Seasonal drops, brand dynamics, collaborations, and cultural moments
• Pricing dynamics, liquidity, and resale economics
• Serve as the internal voice of the apparel community, informing product, marketing, and platform decisions
• Build and own a pipeline of high-impact apparel sellers, shops, designers, influencers, brands, and creators
• Personally recruit and onboard flagship sellers who set the tone for the platform
• Develop seller strategies that balance credibility, storytelling, and commerce
• Identify and orchestrate Fashion & Apparel-specific moments, campaigns, and formats that drive engagement and conversion
• Partner with Category Marketing to design culturally authentic activations

• Comfortable owning outcomes, not just strategy — you execute, iterate, and adapt
• Strong relationship builder with credibility among sellers, creators, designers, and community members
• Data-literate and commercially minded — you understand pricing, margins, liquidity, and incentives
• Entrepreneurial, scrappy, and energized by building something from the ground up
Preferred:
• Existing network of apparel resellers, brand operators, designers, boutiques, or creators
• Experience buying and selling apparel or operating within resale or fashion marketplaces
