We pride ourselves on being the “critical link” that enables our 100+ brand partners such as Adidas, Columbia and Gildan to reach our hyper fragmented base of customers, comprised of apparel decorators, eRetailers and promotional products distributors that embellish apparel items for diverse end consumer use cases (e.g., everyday wear, concerts, fitness attire, life events, team sports, etc.).

At S&S, we differentiate in the market through a customer service focus, strategic product portfolio, world class distribution infrastructure, a collaborative growth culture and a relentless focus on technology and innovation.

Our success has compounded since the Company’s humble beginnings in 1988 as a regional t shirt distributor to a leading, multibillion dollar value-added distribution platform that drives market penetration for our suppliers while enabling growth, operations and fulfillment for a diverse range of customers across channels and business sizes.

Today, we continue to strive to be the apparel distributor of choice by inspiring and fostering growth for customers, employees and suppliers, anchored in our commitment to Lead with Respect, Never Settle, Own the Outcome, Win Together, and the belief that Innovation Powers Our Hustle
. These values guide how we serve, how we collaborate and how we continuously improve, ensuring we deliver on our promise of service, deep relationships, innovation, continuous improvement and accountability.

We are seeking a seasoned Chief Information Security & Privacy Officer (CISO/CPO) responsible for leading our enterprise-wide cybersecurity, data protection, and privacy programs. This role ensures the security of systems supporting high-volume B2B operations, including eCommerce platforms, ERP systems, technology integrations, and warehouse/logistics technologies- while establishing a practical, scalable privacy framework.

This leader will balance risk management with operational speed, enabling sales, fulfillment, and customer experience teams to move quickly while protecting sensitive customer, vendor, and employee data. This role is responsible for owning and advancing the company’s cybersecurity and data privacy programs through the next stage of maturity while enabling growth, innovation, and customer trust.

The role leads security strategy, architecture, and program execution across the enterprise, ensuring controls and practices are appropriately designed, implemented, and maintained. While audit and regulatory requirements (PCI, SOX, U.S. data privacy laws, and potential future SOC
2) are important inputs, the role’s success is defined by durable risk reduction, effective enablement of the business, and the establishment of clear, scalable security operating models.
