Vancouver, British Columbia
A Rare Opportunity to Build, Influence & Lead
Executive 2000 Institute has been exclusively mandated to identify an exceptional merchandising leader for one of North America’s most respected and design-driven retail organizations in the furniture and home décor industry.
This is not simply another merchandising role.
This is a high-impact executive leadership opportunity for a visionary merchant capable of influencing the future direction of a rapidly evolving retail organization entering a major phase of expansion across Canada and the United States.
Reporting directly to the President, the selected leader will play a pivotal role in shaping global sourcing strategy, product vision, private label development, merchandising innovation, supplier partnerships, and overall commercial growth.
The ideal candidate is both strategic and operational — someone capable of transforming trends into commercially successful assortments while building a world-class merchandising and sourcing organization.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The successful candidate will lead:
Merchandising strategy and assortment architecture
Global sourcing and procurement initiatives
Vendor negotiations and offshore partnerships
Product development and commercialization
Pricing, margin optimization, and category profitability
Trend forecasting and consumer insights
Cross-functional collaboration with Planning, Marketing, Operations, E-Commerce, and Supply Chain
This executive role offers exceptional visibility, influence, and long-term growth potential within a high-performance organization recognized for its entrepreneurial culture and innovation mindset.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are seeking an exceptional merchandising executive who combines product intuition, sourcing expertise, and commercial leadership.
The ideal profile may currently hold a title such as:
General Merchandise Manager (GMM)
VP Merchandising
Senior Merchandise Director
Head of Global Sourcing
Executive Merchant
Chief Merchant
IDEAL EXPERIENCE
✔ Extensive experience in Furniture, Home Décor, Lifestyle Retail, or Fashion/Apparel with strong sourcing expertise.
✔ Deep expertise in global sourcing, procurement, vendor negotiations, offshore manufacturing, margin optimization, and product lifecycle management.
✔ Strong international sourcing exposure: China, Vietnam, India, Turkey, Europe, and other global sourcing markets.
✔ Proven ability to build commercially successful assortments, lead high-performing teams, influence executive leadership, and drive profitable growth.
✔ Entrepreneurial, hands-on, agile leadership style.
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
Direct partnership with the President
Significant executive influence
Strong compensation flexibility for the right individual
Long-term succession potential
Opportunity to shape the future of a growing retail organization
A culture focused on innovation, speed, and entrepreneurial thinking
For the right individual, this role could become significantly larger over time.
