About the Role:

By 2028, Indian streetwear is global news. Homegrown brands are scaling fast, marketplace volumes are exploding — and this role sits right at the center of that growth.

We’re building one of India’s most vibrant streetwear marketplaces, and we’re looking for a Category Manager - Menswear(Streetwear) to design and drive the commerce engine behind it.

This is a hands-on, ownership-heavy role where strategy meets execution. You’ll turn brand hype into real revenue, build long-term partnerships, and create systems that scale across online, offline, and collaborations.

Key Responsibility Areas:

- Develop and execute the category strategy, annual plans, revenue targets, and growth roadmap
- Build and manage a strong portfolio of brands, partners, and strategic relationships
- Identify, evaluate, negotiate with, and onboard high-potential brands and products
- Own the category assortment strategy — what we sell, how much we buy, pricing, depth, and timing
- Drive revenue, gross margins, sell-through, inventory turns, and overall category profitability
- Use sales, customer, product, and market data to identify trends, gaps, opportunities, and emerging consumer behaviours
- Lead negotiations around commercial terms, commissions, pricing, margins, exclusives, launches, and promotional structures
- Build strategies around new launches, exclusive drops, collaborations, seasonal collections, and category-defining moments
- Continuously optimise the assortment based on consumer demand, product performance, inventory health,



and market trends
- Identify underperforming products and take decisive action through markdowns, liquidation, replenishment, or assortment rationalisation
- Partner with marketing and content teams to create category-led campaigns and commercial growth moments
- Work closely with operations and inventory teams to ensure availability, stock health, and efficient inventory movement
- Build category dashboards, reporting frameworks, forecasting models, and scalable playbooks
- Develop and mentor category team members as the business grows
- Stay deeply connected to the streetwear, fashion, youth culture, and broader consumer landscape
- Constantly ask: What should CDC sell next, and what will make this category significantly bigger?

Who's this role for:

- 6 - 10 years of experience in category management, merchandising, buying, business, commercial, or growth roles
- Experience in D2C, fashion, lifestyle, retail, marketplace, or consumer businesses
- Proven category/P&L; ownership with strong revenue, margin, and profitability understanding
