Full Job Description
Role Summary

Your Mission
  • Steward of the Aesthetic: Facilitate and execute the UO Home vision. You'll source materials and curate textures-whether it's the perfect wood grain for a credenza or the right weave for a throw-ensuring everything hits the "cool factor" while staying commercially viable.
  • The Bridge Builder: Attend Concept and Sketch Reviews to translate Design's dreams into reality. You'll clarify intent, protect the "soul" of a style, and ensure the final product looks as good on the shelf as it did on the mood board.
  • Strategic Growth: Partner with Merchants to analyze adoption rates and style counts. You're always connecting product decisions back to sales potential-if it's not going to fly off the shelves, you're engineering the solution to make sure it does.
  • Global Conductor: Manage and mentor our supplier base. You'll navigate bulk cost negotiations like a pro, hitting IMU targets without sacrificing the integrity of the piece.
  • Process Innovator: Own the seasonal calendar. From pre-style research to final sample evaluation, you'll drive speed and precision, ensuring our home collections are first-to-market and top-of-mind.
  • Mentor & Leader: You won't just manage a team; you'll coach them. You'll help your direct reports master the "Brand DNA," foster a culture of consistent feedback, and lead by example with a high sense of urgency and integrity.


Role Qualifications

What You Bring to the Table
  • The Experience: 8+ years of progressive development and sourcing experience. Whether you've been deep in the world of apparel or already live in the home furnishings space, you know how to navigate a fast-paced, complex retail environment.
  • The Eye: A deep understanding of product development, and the nuances of home decor. You know what makes a product "special."
  • The Hustle: You thrive on deadlines and are motivated by the challenge of a "hard-to-source" item. You adapt to change quickly and move with a high sense of urgency.
  • The Connection: Proven success in building "ride-or-die" relationships with internal cross-functional teams and external vendors alike.
  • The Leadership: You're an expert at mentoring others, translating strategy into actionable projects, and working independently to crush your goals.
