StockX: Category Manager - Sneakers

StockX is expanding how sneaker culture shows up on its platform through creator-driven, community-oriented commerce experiences that blend storytelling, expertise, and transaction. The Sneakers Category Manager is the single-threaded owner of sneaker category growth within a new, high-priority commerce initiative. This person serves as the in-house expert on sneaker culture, people, economics, and moments, translating that expertise into supply growth, engagement, and GMV.

In this role, you will act as the internal authority on the primary and secondary sneaker ecosystem, the external face of StockX to sneaker sellers, creators, and community leaders, and the architect of the sneaker go-to-market and growth playbook. Key responsibilities include defining and executing the growth strategy for sneakers end-to-end, maintaining deep current knowledge of drops, releases, and pricing dynamics, building a pipeline of high-impact sellers and influencers, and collaborating cross-functionally with product, engineering, and category marketing teams.

Candidates should be deeply embedded in sneaker culture and possess 5+ years of experience in category management, marketplace growth, partnerships, or brand roles within sneakers, streetwear, or adjacent ecosystems. The role requires strong commercial acumen, relationship-building skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset to own outcomes and scale the category from the ground up.
