Grow Your Career with a Retailer Investing in Growth

If your buying experience is in hardlines—not apparel or footwear—this is an opportunity to own a major category with a nationally recognized outdoor retailer that’s investing in growth, private brands, and omnichannel expansion. You’ll take ownership of your category, influence merchandising strategy, and help drive business performance.

• Own category sales, margin, inventory, and assortment strategy
• Analyze trends and customer insights to identify new product opportunities
• Build and negotiate strategic vendor partnerships
• Collaborate with Merchandising, Planning, eCommerce, Marketing, Sourcing, and Supply Chain
• Mentor junior team members and support category growth

• 5+ years of buying, merchandising, or category management experience in hardlines within the outdoor, hunting, camping, fishing, or sporting goods industry (not softlines/apparel)
• Experience managing large, high-SKU product categories in a retail environment
• Strong analytical, planning, and negotiation skills
• Passion for the outdoor lifestyle and understanding of the outdoor consumer
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Willingness to travel as business needs require

If you’re ready to own a hardlines category, influence merchandising strategy, and make a measurable impact, we’d love to connect.
