Senior Merchant - House Brands

Our portfolio of House Brands (Flint and Tinder, Proof, Wills, etc.) are the soul of the Huckberry shop, and we need a Senior Merchant to fuel their next phase of growth. This role sits at the high-stakes intersection of creative design and commercial viability, demanding a merchandiser who can spot a market "white space" and partner with Design to fill it. You’ll be the architect of our internal product engine, ensuring every piece of gear we build is both a financial win and a new favorite in our customers' rotations. In this position, you will report to the Director of House Brands Merchandising.

This role is based out of our headquarters in Austin, TX; relocation support will be provided to a remote hire.
