ABOUT HERSCHEL SUPPLY
Welcome to Herschel Supply, where we make quality products for a lifetime of better journeys. 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 Operations Manager, 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.
