The Retail Buyer for the Kansas City Current will blend creative vision with strategic analysis to shape a dynamic and authentic merchandise experience that reflects the spirit of our fans and the momentum of our club. This individual, in collaboration with Director of Retail Operations and VP of Marketing, will own the retail buying strategy—balancing core product lines, exclusive collaborations, and seasonal capsules—to create collections that resonate with our market and represent the culture of women’s soccer.

Beyond curation, this role demands a data-driven mindset. The Retail Buyer will regularly analyze sales performance, fan behavior, inventory trends, and broader retail insights to inform purchasing decisions and optimize assortment planning. They will articulate the “why” behind product selections through a mix of analytics, instinct, business acumen and cultural relevance—ensuring each item has purpose and impact.

Through this unique blend of storytelling and science, the Retail Buyer will anticipate what fans want today and what they’ll want next. The Retail Buyer will work collaboratively with Retail Marketing to ensure there is a strategic plan for marketing & promotions to drive business growth. They’ll challenge vendors, elevate product quality, and partner across departments to ensure our merchandise tells the story of the Kansas City Current—on and off the pitch.  Reports to the Kansas City Current Director of Retail Operations.
