Category Manager, Jewelry

PAVOI has grown immensely over the past 10 years, becoming a leading 9-figure brand in the jewelry and activewear industries, and our growth shows no signs of slowing down. This means exciting opportunities for our team, and we're looking for passionate, driven individuals to join us. At PAVOI, we're not afraid to question the status quo; we encourage it. We're not just building a brand but a values-driven business where everyone feels empowered to contribute and challenge convention.

The Category Manager, Jewelry is a highly impactful, hands-on role responsible for shaping our jewelry assortment across all channels. This person will accelerate speed to market, sharpen channel-specific assortment strategy, and ensure PAVOI stays ahead of trends rather than reacting to competitors. You are product-obsessed, deeply plugged into culture, and confident making fast, informed decisions. This is a true merchant role for someone who thrives on ownership, moves quickly without heavy direction, and has a clear point of view on what to chase and what to pass.

What you’ll do :

• Own and optimize the jewelry assortment strategy across all channels (core and trend-driven capsules), in close collaboration with data, operations, and catalog teams
• Identify emerging trends early and translate them into actionable product opportunities, while confidently deciding when not to chase a trend
• Drive speed to market by managing multiple workstreams and priorities without sacrificing decision quality
• Partner with design to influence product direction, buy depth, and collection architecture
• Deliver approximately six new collections per year across core and trend capsules, on time and on strategy
• Use sales, returns, ratings, and customer data to inform assortment decisions and improve performance on flagged styles
• Act as a key liaison to catalog and downstream teams, ensuring strong product knowledge flows into PIM, listings, and channel execution
• Take full ownership of outcomes, from concept through launch and post-launch performance

You are a perfect fit if you have:

• 3 to 5+ years of experience in buying, merchandising, or product development, ideally within a trend-driven DTC brand
• Strong analytical and intuitive skills to identify emerging trends, balance instinct with data, and confidently defend your merchandising point of view
• High degree of ownership and autonomy, with a bias for action and comfort making decisions quickly, even with imperfect information
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working in PLM tools such as Centric, BeProduct, Bamboo Rose, or similar
• Exceptional organization and the ability to manage multiple channels and priorities simultaneously
• Strong communication skills and comfort challenging ideas constructively

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience merchandising jewelry or accessories in a high-growth, fast-paced environment
• Familiarity with Figma, Shopify, or modern AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity
• Experience building or scaling channel-specific assortments across DTC, marketplaces, and retail
• A demonstrated ability to improve returns, ratings, or customer feedback through assortment decisions
