What will you do as a Director of Wholesale Operations Strategy & Vendor Relationships at HOMAGE?

At HOMAGE, we celebrate the iconic moments, people, and stories that define sports and pop culture. Our apparel is more than just clothing—it's a badge of honor, a connection to the past, and a way to carry history forward. From vintage tees to throwback collections, we craft each product with purpose, heart, and a whole lot of nostalgia.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a strategic and collaborative leader to help us unlock the next chapter of wholesale at HOMAGE.

• Negotiate pricing and service terms with print and finishing vendors.
• Maintain and refine the Strike-Off, Design Approval, and Production Review processes for wholesale orders.
  
  

Customer Onboarding & Integration

• Own the onboarding process for new wholesale customers—both through systems (e.g., NetSuite, SPS, Orderful) and manual vendor setup.
• Serve as the liaison between HOMAGE's planning team and wholesale customers' planning teams to gather rolling forecasts and product demand by SKU/color.
  
  

Supply Chain Coordination

• Monitor and report on unit-level order routing and fulfillment, including small batch runs.
  
  

Process Design & Continuous Improvement

• Develop and maintain SOPs to standardize wholesale workflows, identify risks, and drive scalable improvements.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives, including the rollout of a B2B website and operational tool enhancements.
• Foster a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement.
  
  

Team Leadership & Strategic Impact

• Supervise a team responsible for sales order processing and reporting.
• Contribute to wholesale P&L ownership by improving fulfillment costs, SLA adherence, and EBITDA performance.
• Act as a strategic advisor to senior leadership on operational scalability and customer satisfaction metrics.
  
  

What are we looking for in a Director of Wholesale Operations?

• 8+ years in wholesale, supply chain, or operational leadership roles, preferably in apparel or consumer goods.
• Highly proficient in systems such as NetSuite, SPS, Orderful, and Google Sheets/Excel.
• Demonstrated success in process development, capacity planning, and vendor management.
