Fashion Merchant

Poshmark is the leading fashion marketplace where style comes alive through discovery, self-expression, and human connection. Powered by a vibrant community of 165 million members, Poshmark brings real people and taste to shopping through a social experience shaped by shared discovery. Buying and selling fashion feels simple, joyful, and personal, while every item tells its own story. Poshmark empowers sellers to grow meaningful businesses, keeps fashion in circulation longer, and gives shoppers access to unique and trusted finds, from everyday pieces to one‑of‑a‑kind vintage and luxury. Poshmark's inventory is vast, dynamic, and unlike anything in traditional retail. This role exists to make sense of it and build processes around optimizing it to create intentional demand across the platform, digging in to where supply is constrained or oversaturated, and shaping how we surface the right product to the right buyer at the right moment. You'll operate as the merchant lead across all categories — Women's, Men's, Kids, Luxury, Sneakers, Home, and beyond — developing a platform‑wide view of what's selling, what's stalling, and what we're missing. You'll translate that intelligence into action: working with site merchandising, growth, product, and supply teams to drive demand where the inventory exists and identify supply gaps where demand is outpacing listing volume. This is a commercially‑minded role that sits at the intersection of data, intuition, and cross‑functional influence. You'll manage an assistant merchant and be a key contributor to the broader Merchandising function as it scales.

Own category performance end to end
This role sits at the center of two key workstreams: shaping what supply comes onto the platform before demand catches up to it, and deploying the supply we already have against the right seasonal story at the right moment. Categories are built utilizing both levers continuously in response to real‑time data tracking.

Track sell‑through, trend velocity, search behavior, and category liquidity closely enough to catch what is building and conversely, what is downtrending. Turn that read into merchandising calls and recommendations the rest of the org can act on.

Break inventory health down by category, brand, and price point to see where supply is too thin to meet demand, and where depth exists but isn't converting. Then work both angles: pull demand levers against the inventory we already hold, and push the supply team to acquire what we don't. Partnering with product and engineering you create usable data frameworks for making product and assortment decisions — shaping feed ranking, search, PDPs, and editorial placement, not just the homepage carousel. Set the category's seasonal messaging cadence
Work with merchandising, marketing, product and data teams plan seasonal pushes, trend moments, and promotional windows in step with growth marketing, paid media, and supply. Every seasonal moment should be a chance to activate existing inventory and influence and highlight where future supply needs are.

Oversee all categories - Womens and Mens/Kids
Be the link between daily execution and the VP of Merchandising's strategic priorities — translating one into the other in both directions.
