The Company is seeking a Vice President of Merchandising for its Fashion Bedding division. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the merchandising strategy across a multi-brand portfolio, with a focus on driving trend-forward assortment planning, seasonal collection development, and channel-specific strategies. This role requires a leader who can balance core replenishment programs with trend-driven seasonal collections, ensuring the portfolio remains competitive in a fast-moving, design-driven category.
