ROLE OVERVIEW

Fanatics Commerce is seeking a Product MD / Merchandiser (Fashion) to lead product planning for our global brand SMU (Special Make-Up) programs and our Private Brand (PB) portfolio. This role will build seasonal collection lineups, set pricing and margin strategy, and drive trend and competitive research to uncover new collaboration opportunities. The Product MD / Merchandiser (Fashion) delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.

HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT

Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.

Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)

  • Identify new collaboration opportunities by analyzing competitive brand positioning and emerging trends across global fashion and licensed merchandise markets.
  • Drive a forward-looking SMU program strategy by proactively sourcing and evaluating potential brand partners and collaboration concepts.
  • Continuously refine SKU architecture and assortment planning for the Private Brand portfolio to improve product efficiency and market differentiation.
  • Leverage AI tools and data-driven insights to improve trend forecasting, competitive analysis, and seasonal planning processes.

Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)

  • Own end-to-end order placement and production schedule management for global brand SMU programs, ensuring on-time delivery and season-ready execution.
  • Manage the full Private Brand lineup from SKU planning through cost and margin review, maintaining accountability for financial targets at every stage.
  • Monitor cost structures and margin performance across PB products and adjust pricing strategy as needed to protect business objectives.
  • Drive seasonal product strategy with a relentless focus on continuous improvement, using prior-season analysis to make smarter, faster decisions going forward.

AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY

We are building a future-ready organization. This role is expected to:

  • Apply AI and technology to improve efficiency, quality, and outcomes

  • Business-level English communication skills, with the ability to operate effectively across global teams and external partners.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with both internal stakeholders and external brand partners.
  • Proficiency with AI tools and MS Office, with a willingness to adopt new digital capabilities as they evolve.
