Buyer

Napa Home & Garden is a wholesale home décor brand headquartered in Norcross, GA, and one in a family of highly regarded brands under C&F Enterprises. Known for its distinctive, artisan-curated product assortments, Napa serves style-conscious independent boutique retailers, specialty stores, designers, trade customers, and a growing DTC channel.

About the role

Napa Home & Garden is evolving from a traditional buying organization into a strategic merchandising powerhouse. We're looking for a Buyer who thinks like a business owner, not just a purchaser.

• Own launch success for your categories: sales, margin, forecast accuracy, SKU productivity, and category growth.
• Continuously monitor consumer trends, competitor assortments, pricing strategies, retailer feedback, sales data, and macroeconomic conditions to identify opportunities before competitors.
• Lead negotiations on cost, MOQs, and exclusivity; build global supplier relationships that give Napa a lasting competitive edge.
• Lead cross-functional teams through influence, aligning Design, Sales, Marketing, and Operations around a common category strategy to launch product on time and on strategy.

Requirements

• 5–7 years in Buying, Merchandising, Category Management, Product Management, or Brand Management, with real accountability for a category.

• Experience managing product categories with measurable financial accountability.
• Demonstrated success with product development, building assortments, managing product lifecycles, and sourcing processes.
• Strong analytical and financial acumen; attention to detail.
• Excel skills; comfort with ERP, PLM, or BI tools a plus.
• A sharp eye for design and an instinct for what makes a product sell.
• The confidence to challenge assumptions and the collaboration skills to bring people along with you.
• Sound judgment and integrity in communication and decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in home décor, furnishings, or lifestyle categories.
• International sourcing exposure.
• Experience managing a direct report.
