Assistant Category Manager

Administration & Clerical

Hi, I'm Jess! Born and raised in Southern California I am a creative and enthusiastic advocate for getting people into the outdoors, with 7+ years in the outdoor industry. I've held roles that span retail management to merchandising and buying spaces, and have developed a passion for bringing teams together and thinking creatively to achieve success. Currently in the PNW, I have learned to understand the need for bike fenders and Gore-tex backpacking boots but still maintain that any highway name should be prefaced with the prefix "the."

Assist category manager to plan and build the bike assortment for REI. Role entails building extensive cross-divisional and vendor relationships, managing a complex business during volatile industry conditions, and partnering with team to create workflow efficiencies and creative solutions to hurdles. I use data analysis to inform long and short term assortment and inventory strategies, and provide weekly reporting and insight on strategy performance.
