Designed with timeless form and intuitive function in Vancouver, Canada, every piece is backed by our signature warranty for wherever you’re going next. Since 2009, we’ve never stopped taking risks.
We’re constantly innovating, growing our community and heading on new journeys. We’ve gotten lost in new cities, made lifelong friends all over the world, road tripped with no GPS, and explored a ton of creative pursuits along the way. Putting yourself out there isn’t easy.
It means stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying something new. It might be scary at first, but it also leads to the best parts of life. Inspiring others to take that leap is what we live for.
Wherever you’re headed, we’re here to help you pack your future with possibilities. So, come along for the ride, get inspired and Put Yourself Out There.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Category Manager is a key driver of commercial success, transforming seasonal line plans into a high-performing, market-ready assortment. You’ll refine the product mix with precision - ensuring every SKU in your category is commercially strong, strategically priced for global markets, and positioned across channels to achieve financial targets. Reporting to the Merchandising Director, you’ll own the physical expression of your categories from end to end.
You’ll make final decisions on assortment selection (style, colour, tiering), lead pricing strategy (including off-MAP and promotional pricing), and oversee the full product lifecycle - from creating SKUs in PLM to recommending in-season markdowns or re-buys driven by performance data. We are a community of creators who believe the best work happens when we’re together; that’s why we collaborate in-person Monday through Thursday, with Friday being flexible to work from home. This is a 9 month fixed term contract position.
A DAY-IN-THE-LIFE Line Architecture Execute seasonal line plan development, including SKU counts, carryover strategy, cancellations, and newness - always aligned with the founder’s product vision and long-term assortment strategy. Build and maintain the line list as the foundation for seasonal assortment planning and cross-functional visibility. Collaborate closely with Design to finalize new silhouettes, feature sets, and product direction.
Contribute to documenting best practices and building Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Product Creation System Setup Create and maintain new styles in PLM, including style codes, naming conventions, retail pricing, and product hierarchy.
