  • Build a clear and efficient product workflow that connects merchandising, design, buying, and planning into one consistent process.
  • Drive team accountability, collaboration, and execution to support JustFab's main business priorities and long-term growth.

Business Growth & Profitability
  • Partner with senior leadership on merchandising, brand, category, and growth decisions.
  • Support JustFab's multi-brand and cross-channel business strategy, including DTC, membership, marketplace, wholesale, and third-party brand integration.
  • Protect profitability through thoughtful assortment planning, pricing decisions, inventory discipline, and tariff-sensitive product strategies.

Qualifications

  • Strong experience in footwear and/or apparel merchandising is highly preferred.
  • Proven ability to lead product strategy across multiple categories, brands, or sales channels.
  • Strong understanding of assortment planning, pricing architecture, seasonal product flow, trend direction, SKU management, inventory strategy, and margin performance.
  • Experience working closely with design teams and translating business strategy into clear product and design direction.
  • Strong cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to collaborate with buying, planning, design, sourcing, supply chain, marketing, and executive teams.
  • Experience working with global teams, especially U.S.-China collaboration, is highly preferred.
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to balance brand positioning, customer experience, profitability, and operational execution.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, team management, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Fluent in English; Mandarin Chinese is a strong advantage.
  • Bachelor's degree in Fashion Merchandising, Business, Design, Marketing, or a related field preferred.
  • Ideal candidate brings foundational AI literacy, including experience using generative AI tools, and a proactive mindset to experiment with new technologies to drive productivity and innovation.
