About the Role:

By 2028, Indian streetwear is global news. Homegrown brands are scaling fast, marketplace volumes are exploding — and this role sits right at the center of that growth.

We’re building one of India’s most vibrant streetwear marketplaces, and we’re looking for a Head of Apparel Division to design and drive the commerce engine behind it.

This is a hands-on, ownership-heavy role where strategy meets execution. You’ll turn brand hype into real revenue, build long-term partnerships, and create systems that scale across online, offline, and collaborations.

Key Responsibility Areas:

• Own the category P&L, revenue, margins, assortment, and growth strategy.
• Drive brand, vendor, and manufacturer sourcing, partnerships, negotiations, pricing, MOQs, and commercial terms.
• Source and develop fabrics, trims, packaging, and manufacturing partners aligned with seasonal and business requirements.
• Lead product development from concept to sampling, costing, approvals, and production.
• Build and manage a strong network of mills, fabric/trim suppliers, printers, embroiderers, and garment manufacturers.
• Identify market gaps, consumer trends, new products, brands, and sourcing opportunities.
• Own costing, forecasting, inventory, sell-through, and profitability.
• Evaluate vendor performance across quality, capacity, pricing, compliance, and timelines, while developing alternate sources.
• Work closely with design, merchandising, marketing, production, and operations to take products from idea to market.
• Drive launches, drops, collaborations, and seasonal collections.
• Resolve sourcing and production issues and ensure quality and on-time delivery.
• Build scalable category, sourcing, and product development processes as the business grows.

Who's this role for:

• 10 - 12 years of experience in category management, merchandising, buying, business, commercial, or growth roles
• Experience in D2C, fashion, lifestyle, retail, marketplace, or consumer businesses
• Proven category/P&L ownership with strong revenue, margin, and profitability understanding
• Strong understanding of brands, consumers, pricing, inventory, and commercial strategy
• Proven ability to build brand/vendor partnerships and negotiate commercial terms
• Highly data-driven, with strong category, forecasting, and inventory acumen
• Strong consumer and market instinct, with an eye for emerging trends
• Experience in high-growth/startup environments with high ownership and low structure
• Strong leadership and team-building capabilities
• Able to seamlessly balance strategy with hands-on execution
• Deep interest in streetwear, fashion, culture, and emerging consumer trends
• Driven by impact, growth, and long-term upside
