Job Description

ABOUT THE COMPANY: True Religion is an urban casual lifestyle brand focused on high-quality denim, activewear, accessories, and more—for men, women, and kids. Founded in 2002, we shook up the Los Angeles denim scene by re-engineering the classic five-pocket jean with our signature Super T Stitch and iconic horseshoe detailing—now synonymous with bold, unapologetic style and the True Religion legacy. Driven by a relentless commitment to craftsmanship, we design with one goal in mind: to stand out from the crowd. We don’t just create denim—we give it attitude, authenticity, and individuality.

THE PURPOSE: The Senior Merchandiser (Temporary Role) is responsible for managing the overall merchandising strategy, assortment planning, product lifecycle management, price structures, and off-price presentation to drive revenue growth and maximize profitability. The off-price Senior Merchandiser will guide a high-functioning team and partner closely with Design, Sales, Buying, Planning, and Production/PD teams to create a compelling, consumer-centric product offering that aligns with True Religion’s brand identity.

THE ROLE (what you are accountable for):

• Develop and execute the merchandising line plan, seasonal strategies, and product assortments that support the off-price sales channel.
• Lead assortment planning, pricing strategy, and product selection with Design to maximize profit margin based on strict margin expectations.
• Analyze sales, customer insights, and market data to inform product decisions and future opportunities.
• Have a keen insight into the off-price customers so that there is no brand cannibalization between full price and off-price.
• Strong understanding of the wholesale marketplace, as the off-price business is majority wholesale.
• Drive go-to-market strategies, including line reviews and product presentations.
• Oversee product lifecycle management driven by key milestone deadlines in partnership with Product Development and Production teams.
• Manage and pass off all Buy files from Sales to Production.
• Track and manage all SMU requests that are outside of the normal line plan range.

YOU ARE: You bring a strong combination of strategic merchandising expertise and data-driven commercial thinking, with proven experience in off-price and wholesale environments. You understand how to build profitable, consumer-relevant assortments while protecting brand integrity and avoiding full-price cannibalization, and you thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments where ownership and cross-functional partnership are critical.

REQUIRED MINIMUM EXPERIENCE:

• 7+ years of experience in merchandising, with experience in wholesale businesses.
• Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams
• Ability to manage priorities in a deadline-driven environment
• Must have effective communication, leadership, resourcefulness and analytical skills.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office with emphasis on Excel. Full Circle experience is a plus.
