About the Role
Jordan Craig is seeking a Director of Men's Merchandising who combines exceptional product taste with strong analytical thinking.
We are looking for someone equally comfortable with the art and science of merchandising—someone who understands contemporary streetwear, denim, and men's fashion, but also knows how to interpret sales data, identify opportunities, and translate those insights into commercially successful products.
This role will help shape our product direction, working closely with leadership, design, buying, and sales teams to build compelling, profitable collections.
Key Responsibilities
- Product Direction: Guide seasonal assortments across denim, cargos, fleece, outerwear, and contemporary men's apparel.
- Data-Driven Design: Analyze sales performance, sell-through, customer demand, and market trends to influence silhouettes, fits, colors, washes, and product development.
- Creative Merchandising: Identify emerging trends and translate them into products that resonate with our customers.
- Assortment Strategy: Balance proven bestsellers, core essentials, and new fashion-driven products to maximize commercial performance.
- Product Evaluation: Work with designers to refine samples, fabrics, proportions, washes, and overall product execution.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with design, buying, sales, and production teams to align creative direction with business objectives.
Qualifications
- 7 years of experience in men's apparel merchandising, preferably in streetwear, denim, or contemporary fashion.
- Exceptional taste and a strong understanding of men's fashion, streetwear culture, and emerging trends.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn sales data into actionable product decisions.
- Proven experience building commercially successful apparel assortments.
- Solid knowledge of fabrics, garment construction, washes, fits, and product development.
- Ability to think both creatively and commercially, with the confidence to challenge ideas and make independent recommendations.
- Experience with wholesale and DTC businesses preferred.
The Ideal Candidate
You have the eye of a designer and the analytical mind of a merchant.
You can recognize a great product instinctively, explain why it works, and use data to validate and improve your decisions.
You understand that successful merchandising isn't just about following trends—it's about knowing which trends will sell, to whom, and why.
