Who We Are

The Category Management team helps to build the long-term vision for all of Wayfair, while broadcasting out the set of objectives that are most important to the success of each category. As a Director of Category Management, you would be the owner of a portfolio of businesses and would be responsible for scaling them- solving complex business problems across merchandising, operations, marketing, and pricing to achieve hyper growth in your respective category. Being a part of Category Management means you enjoy setting and driving a vision and operating analytically to get results. Strong communication is critical for the success of Directors of Category Management given the interaction with almost every function and team at Wayfair, frequent dialogue with Wayfair’s CEO and C-suite team to ensure alignment is tight and priorities are agreed upon. Due to the importance of this role, we are looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial, data driven leader who can work well cross functionally, develop a high performing team, build and articulate the strategic vision, and develop meaningful relationships with Wayfair’s supplier base.

What You’ll Do

• Fully build out assortment: Contribute to developing a comprehensive strategy to multiply our assortment. While doing so, have a strong focus on maintaining site performance and navigability in addition to developing partnerships with suppliers and brands not yet on site
• Manage supplier stakeholders: Help drive deeper partnerships with key suppliers to unlock better costs and find creative savings. A critical part of the role is building long-term relationships with, negotiating with, and influencing new and existing suppliers
• Build a high performing, dynamic team: Build a high performing team that is capable of driving industry leading speed and reliability in the context of rapid growth. Manage and develop a team that works closely with executive leaders to deliver a comprehensive understanding of our business drivers as we continue to scale
• Assess performance and adapt strategy: Frequent deep dives into the performance of the business will be critical to understanding what is and what is not working. Wayfair works fast and needs a leader who utilizes data to drive action and bring confidence to stakeholders that teams are focusing on the right areas of the business
• Influence a diverse set of internal stakeholders: Directors of Category Management are STO (single thread owners) of their business at Wayfair. Given Wayfair is a matrixed organization with ownership divided across specialized, expert teams, executing a cohesive strategic plan requires understanding, influencing, and motivating many different teams and individuals
• Craft category specific logistics solution: Assess current shipping strategy; partner with the operations team to optimize speed of delivery, reduce damages, and unlock strategies that generate a game-changing competitive advantage and enduring customer satisfaction
• Create best-in-class storefront and merchandising experience: Give customers the ability to easily visualize products in their homes, compare and contrast across brands and functions, and understand the unique value proposition offered by each product that is well curated and inspiring
  

What You’ll Need

• Both French and English to a business level fluency
• Extensive relevant experience, preferably in management consulting or e-commerce
• Ability to thrive in a high growth, entrepreneurial, and ambiguous environment
• Proven track record of leadership, taking ownership, and driving results
• Ability to develop, articulate, and execute strategy
• Prior experience recruiting and building high performance teams
• Ability to multi-task and work well within a dynamic organization
