Job Description

Our client, a vertically integrated Canadian company, is growing two fast-rising sleepwear and lifestyle brands. They're entering an exciting new phase and are looking for a Brand Director / General Manager to lead the charge.

This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of brand strategy, product development, sales growth, and P&L management. With strong wholesale traction, in-house design and production, and a renewed focus on e-commerce, the foundation is in place — now they need a strategic, hands-on leader to drive it forward.

Key Responsibilities:

Brand & Product Strategy

• Lead seasonal product line planning (Spring/Fall)

• Collaborate with the in-house design team on silhouette, fabric, and colour direction

• Shape brand positioning, pricing, and product assortment

• Ensure all creative and merchandising decisions align with commercial goals

Sales & Channel Growth

• Drive wholesale growth with department stores, independents, and online retailers

• Oversee e-commerce strategy including Shopify performance and customer journey

• Explore new retail formats such as pop-ups and shop-in-shops

Team Leadership & Execution

• Manage a lean, multi-functional team across product, sales, and digital

• Work closely with company leadership and the internal manufacturing/ops team

• Monitor performance metrics, manage budgets, and own full P&L responsibility

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of experience in fashion, apparel, or lifestyle brand leadership

• Proven success in both wholesale and e-commerce environments

• Strong understanding of product development cycles and merchandising strategy

• Commercially minded with creative instincts — not a designer, but a creative operator

• Entrepreneurial, hands-on, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-accountability role

• Must be based in the GTA and able to work on-site full-time in Markham, Ontario

Full-Time | On-Site | Markham, Ontario

Salary: CAD $100,000–$120,000
