## About the role

StockX is the world’s leading marketplace for current culture, built at the intersection of commerce, community, and credibility. Sneakers are foundational to StockX — not just as a category, but as a culture, an economy, and a global community. This role blends deep cultural fluency, strategic ownership, and hands-on execution. Early on, you will own everything related to sneakers within this initiative. As the category scales, you will grow into a leader overseeing a broader sneaker portfolio and team.

## What they're looking for

- Deeply embedded in sneaker culture — you know the people, platforms, trends, and economics, and you’re already plugged into the ecosystem
- 5+ years of experience in category management, partnerships, marketplace growth, brand, or operator roles in sneakers, streetwear, or adjacent ecosystems
- Comfortable owning outcomes, not just strategy — you execute, iterate, and adapt
- Strong relationship builder with credibility among sellers, creators, and community members
- Data-literate and commercially minded — you understand pricing, margins, liquidity, and incentives
- Entrepreneurial, scrappy, and energized by building something from the ground up
