About The Position

TravisMathew is a premium apparel brand that exists because we seized an opportunity—and we’re inviting you to take yours. Back in 2007, we saw there weren’t many companies whose clothing bridged the gap between performance and lifestyle, so we created our own. Inspired by the sun, surf, and sand of Southern California, we became a leading innovator in lifestyle performance apparel by making clothes for real life—plus working with premium wholesalers, building a leading e-commerce business, and opening retail stores around the world. We invite you to join team TravisMathew. The Product Merchandiser is responsible for the strategic direction, planning, and management of designated product categories. This role will lead the merchandising vision for assigned categories, partnering closely with the Sr. Merchandising Manager to develop a product line that represents TravisMathew and aligns with the broader merchandise strategy. The Product Merchandiser will own the product lifecycle from concept through completion, ensuring best-in-class product assortments that meet business goals, strengthen the brand, and serve the consumer.
