Trend Intelligence & Marketing Activation Analyst

Founded in 2000, FAM Brands designs, manufactures, and sells men’s and women’s sportswear and active wear apparel to major retailers, big box stores, and specialty boutiques across the country and throughout the world. Our portfolio of proprietary brands features Marika, Wildfox, Three Dots, and Balance Collection, while a partial list of licensing partners includes Orvis, Jessica Simpson, Eddie Bauer, and Woolrich. With the capacity to produce over 75 million units per year, our mission continues to be making top-quality apparel accessible to everyone at an impressive value and an irresistible price.

That's the FAM Brands difference. SUMMARY We are thrilled to announce that we are building our very first proprietary trend intelligence capability! This exciting initiative will create a real-time data pipeline that monitors social media and fashion market signals across our core categories, empowering us to inform what we design, source, and sell.

This role presents a fantastic opportunity to join a small, high-impact team at the forefront of something truly meaningful. You'll have the chance to collaborate closely with the Director of AI Emerging Technologies and a talented AI engineering team that will support you in building systems and capabilities that go above and beyond what’s typical for this type of role. But wait, there’s more!

This isn’t just a data role; once the intelligence is surfaced, you will play a crucial part in closing the loop. You’ll guide our brand, sales, design, and ambassador teams on how to take action on the insights you uncover. In some cases, you’ll utilize AI tools to help draft captivating social media campaigns and e-commerce marketing content that brings the trends you’ve identified directly to market.

We are a dynamic team that moves fast, invests in people who are eager to invest in themselves, and provides genuine ownership to those who earn it. Join us on this exciting journey!

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Trend Intelligence Identify and curate sets of social media influencers and accounts across TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, X, and Reddit that signal trend movement across FAM’s core fashion and lifestyle categories.

Research and evaluate third-party trend intelligence platforms and data tools to identify gaps and opportunities for the in-house pipeline. Partner with the DWI engineering team to feed data sources into a growing trend intelligence infrastructure.

Marketing Activation Campaign Intelligence Brief internal brand, sales, design, and ambassador teams on trend findings — translating data into clear creative and campaign direction.
