  • Pricing, Cost & Margin Management – Establish pricing strategies and retail buckets while balancing margin goals and competitive positioning.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making – Manage budgets and leverage sales data and reporting tools to optimize assortments and financial performance. Conduct research on top and bottom sellers, product elements, categories, and program development within REVOLVE/FWRD to inform strategic decisions and optimize offerings.
  • Team Management & Development – Potentially lead and mentor a team of direct reports, overseeing workload, productivity, and career growth through guidance, delegation, and performance reviews. Provide strategic direction, problem-solving support, and feedback to build strong communication and leadership skills.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership – Partner across departments and act as a key liaison to drive alignment, optimize processes, and support initiatives that enhance innovation and operational excellence.
  • Operational Excellence – Optimize KPIs, reporting, and workflows to improve efficiency, while independently managing special projects and balancing priorities across multiple brands and initiatives.
