The Role
We’re hiring a Category Manager, Luxury & Premium to own and grow supply across fashion and beauty within our highest-value categories.
This is a highly commercial, fast-moving role focused on sourcing inventory, unlocking new supply channels, and driving sales . You will be responsible for building and scaling supply across:
- Luxury fashion and accessories (handbags, footwear, apparel, ready-to-wear)
- Premium / contemporary fashion (designer bridge brands and elevated contemporary labels)
- Beauty (select skincare, cosmetics, fragrance, and premium beauty brands)
This is not a traditional retail buying or merchandising role. You’ll be expected to actively source inventory , build supply pipelines, and move quickly to capitalize on opportunities across global markets.
What You’ll Do
- Source and secure inventory across luxury fashion, premium apparel, accessories, and beauty
- Build and manage a global network of suppliers , including distributors, resellers, wholesalers, and brand partners
- Identify and unlock new supply channels across fashion and beauty (international markets, off-price, grey market, emerging supply sources)
- Negotiate pricing, allocations, and terms to ensure strong margins and sell-through
- React quickly to trends and demand signals across both fashion and beauty categories
- Partner with internal teams (merchandising, influencer, operations) to align supply with live commerce demand
- Own category performance including inventory velocity, revenue contribution, and margin targets
Who You Are
- 3–6 years experience in luxury, premium fashion, beauty, resale, wholesale, or marketplace environments
- Strong understanding of how fashion and/or beauty supply chains operate , particularly in non-traditional or secondary markets
- Proven ability to source product, open doors, or close deals (not just manage accounts)
- Commercially driven—you think in margin, turnover, and opportunity cost
- Strong negotiation instincts and ability to move quickly with incomplete information
- Bonus: existing network in fashion, beauty, or luxury resale ecosystems
- GTA or Toronto based
What Success Looks Like
- You consistently bring in new, high-performing fashion and beauty inventory
- You identify and unlock non-obvious supply sources ahead of competitors
- You directly impact revenue growth and category profitability
- You build a scalable, repeatable engine for sourcing across fashion and beauty
Compensation
$60,0000-$90,000 based on experience, including health and dental benefits
