Assistant Merchant

This is a hands-on role at the core of how Poshmark's inventory gets understood, tracked, and activated. You'll work closely with the Category Merchandising Manager to monitor what's moving across the platform, support supply and demand analysis, and help execute the merchandising strategy across categories and channels. You'll be the engine room of the category merchandising function — building and maintaining the reporting that keeps the team informed, tracking trend and inventory signals across categories, and supporting the execution of merchandising plans across editorial, promotional, and in-app surfaces. This is an ideal role for someone who is curious about how product and data intersect, has strong commercial instincts they want to develop, and wants to grow into a more senior merchandising position over time. You'll learn how to connect supply and demand intelligence to real business outcomes — and be given increasing ownership as you build your track record.
