The Role

Z SUPPLY is hiring its first-ever Style Director — a newly created role that reflects where the brand is going, not just where it's been. This is not a shoot stylist. This is a brand architect.

This role will own the visual and stylistic identity of Z SUPPLY across every touchpoint: campaigns, e-commerce, social, wholesale, editorial, events, and product. They will work at the intersection of brand storytelling, product design, and content — ensuring that everything Z SUPPLY puts into the world looks, feels, and moves as one coherent brand.

• Partner with Merchandising, Design, and Marketing to identify both product gaps and product priorities and hero categories — informed by trend, category definition, past performance — anchoring seasonal storytelling, integrated campaigns, and monthly go-to-market planning.
• Partner with Product and Merchandising throughout the seasonal design process to bring styling and consumer perspective to silhouette, color palette, fabrication, and assortment decisions.
• Contribute to how product is photographed, styled, and presented – from wholesale to e-commerce - to tell a compelling story. Champion the idea that how a product is styled is inseparable from how it sells.
• Attend key product reviews and stay aligned with Design and Merchandising on seasonal readiness, product flow, and sample availability - ensuring creative timing alignment each season
• Identify opportunities to redefine how core and hero products are presented; elevating basics and essentials through styling choices that feel fresh and intentional, not generic.
