More about this role

As Category Manager for Sports at Triumph, you'll own the sports book: the portfolio of vendor relationships and purchasing activity behind inventory acquisition for one of our most established categories. Reporting directly to the Head of Procurement and New Vertical Strategy, you'll own the full sports purchasing motion from allocating weekly spend against inventory pressure to selecting which product we stock, negotiating pricing, and deepening our vendor network as the category scales.

This is an execution-driven role with real capital consequence. The book already exists and moves real volume. You'll be accountable for its growth and health, and your decisions on what we buy and at what cost flow directly into product margin. This role is based in our Mountain View office, with regular travel to our San Francisco office alongside the team.

What You'll Do

Own the sports book, growing it in line with direction from the Head of Procurement and maintaining its health across composition, cost basis, and vendor mix.

Execute weekly vendor allocations against current inventory pressure, directing spend toward the products and price points where inventory is thinnest.
