Buyer - Women's Contemporary RTW
Position Overview
The Buyer, Contemporary Ready-to-Wear, brings vision to life through a creative, editorial eye and a disciplined product instinct. A deep understanding of the EVEREVE customer shapes every decision. They want product that’s on trend, modern, and versatile, with the right amount of edge.
What You’ll Do
Set the Vision: Define and execute a clear category strategy that aligns with brand priorities and delivers assortments that feel on trend, modern, comfortable and versatile with the right amount of edge.
Lead with Taste and a Point of View: Stay ahead of the curve by actively seeking out what’s new and next; through runway, street style, cultural moments, emerging brands, and global markets. Develop and own a clear creative POV on where fashion is heading and how it translates for the EVEREVE customer. Curate product that hits the intersection of on trend, modern, comfortable and versatile, with the right amount of edge.
Drive Business Results: Partner closely with Planning to hit financial goals, manage open-to-buy, and deliver margin and sell-through targets.
Edit with Intention: The ability to say no is as important as the ability to find the right product. Focused, purposeful assortments give the customer clarity. That discipline is a real competitive advantage. Editing well is part of the craft.
Develop Owned Brand Product: Partner closely with Design to build and evolve the line plan for the category. Shaping product that supports the growth of our owned brand, reinforces EVEREVE’s brand positioning, and complements our third-party brand assortment. Bring a creative and commercial lens to every development conversation: identifying whitespace opportunities, influencing silhouette and fabrication direction, and ensuring the owned brand line feels intentional and differentiated. This is collaborative creative work; not just approving product, but co-creating it.
Negotiate with Integrity: Build strong vendor partnerships grounded in mutual respect, while skillfully managing cost, terms, and margin.
Lead and Influence Across the Business Unit: Operate as the connective thread between Buying, Planning, and Design, and as a craft-level expert within the department. Collaborate cross-categorically with fellow buyers to align on key looks each season. This buyer is ensuring the total assortment tells a cohesive, styled story that the EVEREVE customer can shop head to toe.
Pivot with Agility: Anticipate and respond to shifts in trend, inventory, or performance with creative and data-driven solutions by bringing an entrepreneurial spirit and a growth mindset that treats hurdles and change as opportunity, not obstacle.
Lead by Example: Champion EVEREVE’s HEART values and help cultivate a culture of curiosity, connection, and growth.
