Apparel Product Manager

Location: Mostly Remote - Hybrid - Utah
Type: Full-time/Flexible

The Role

As our Apparel Product Manger, you’ll be the person helping turn ideas into real products. That means working on everything from product concepts, fabrics, samples, vendors, pricing, margins, merchandising, launch calendars, and e-commerce execution.

We’re looking for someone who knows apparel, understands product, has great taste, and is excited to roll up their sleeves to help build something special.

You might come from kidswear, baby apparel, boutique fashion, swimwear, activewear, outdoor, lifestyle apparel, or a growing DTC brand. You may have been a Product Developer, Merchandising Manager, Apparel Buyer, Production Manager, Apparel Operations Manager, Brand Manager, Product Line Manager, E-commerce Merchandiser, Sourcing Manager, or Design/Production Coordinator.

The exact title matters less to us than the person.

We want someone who can help Shorties become the go-to kids and family lifestyle brand in golf.

What You'll Do

• Help build and launch the Shorties Golf apparel collection
• Own product development from concept to sample to production
• Help create kids’ golf lifestyle pieces, coordinating adult wear, and future activewear collections
• Build seasonal product plans, SKU strategies, and launch calendars
• Work with vendors, manufacturers, decorators, and suppliers to bring products to life
• Help choose fabrics, fits, colors, trims, blanks, graphics, and decoration methods
• Review samples, give fit and quality feedback, and keep product timelines moving
• Track product costs, landed costs, retail pricing, margins, and inventory risk
• Help merchandise collections on Shopify in a way that feels clean, premium, and easy to shop
• Partner with our team on product storytelling, photoshoots, launches, and customer education
• Listen to customer feedback and help us improve sizing, fit, quality, and future product decisions
• Help create systems, processes, vendor lists, product calendars, and launch playbooks as we grow
• Be a genuine ambassador for the Shorties brand — fun, thoughtful, family-focused, and obsessed with making great products for kids and parents

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in apparel, fashion, kidswear, baby, boutique, swimwear, outdoor, activewear, lifestyle, or e-commerce retail
• Experience helping manage apparel products from idea to launch
• A strong understanding of samples, fit, vendors, sourcing, pricing, margins, and timelines
• Great taste — especially when it comes to kids, family, sport, and lifestyle apparel
• Someone who can balance quality, cost, speed, and brand feel
• Organized, self-motivated, and able to keep a lot of moving pieces on track
• Comfortable working with a small, fast-moving team where everyone wears real hats
• Experience with Shopify, e-commerce merchandising, product launches, buying, or inventory planning is a plus
• Clear communicator who can work well with founders, vendors, designers, marketers, and operations
• Someone who wants ownership — not just a task list

You'll Thrive Here If You...

• Are driven and self-motivated — you get things done without needing to be pushed

• Like making friends out of the people you work with

• Care about doing good work AND having fun while doing it

• Bring ideas — ways to improve, innovate, or just make things better

• Believe that every customer deserves to feel like family

• Understand that kids’ apparel has to look good, feel good, wash well, fit well, and make parents’ lives easier

• Get excited about the idea of building a brand parents and kids both love

Why Work at Shorties?

Family first. Full stop. Go make dinner. Take your kid to the dentist. Catch your son's baseball game. We mean it — we're parents ourselves, and we built Shorties around the idea that your family comes first. We're mostly remote and radically flexible because getting things done matters more to us than where or when you do it.

We invest in your growth — and there's plenty of it. Shorties is a small team with a massive vision, which means the ceiling here is genuinely high. You won't be a cog in a machine — you'll wear real hats, build real skills, and have real impact. As we grow, so does your opportunity: more responsibility, more leadership, and a career path you actually helped shape.

The people here are your kind of people. We're happy-go-lucky, driven, and genuinely fun to work with. We make friends out of coworkers. We laugh. We celebrate wins. If you're someone who's self-motivated, loves collaborating, and wants to actually like the people they work with — you'll feel right at home. If you're looking for a heads-down, don't-talk-to-me 9-to-5... we're probably not your place, and that's okay.

The perks don't hurt either.

• 🏠 Mostly remote — work from anywhere

• 🕐Flexible schedule — we trust you to get it done

• ⛳ Free Shorties product + family discounts (yes, your kids will be geared up)

• 🏌️ Golf outings with the team — because how could we not

• 📈 Real growth opportunities — in skills, responsibilities, and leadership

Every product we sell is a family on a course together. Every swing a kid takes is a memory being made. We take that seriously — and we reward the people who do too. Hard work, creative thinking, finding better ways to do things, and being genuinely fun to work with are how you thrive here.

About Shorties Golf

Shorties Golf was born when Jordan went looking for quality golf equipment for his 1-year-old twins — and came up empty. Everything out there was either flimsy, overpriced, or both. So he did what any determined golf-loving parent would do: designed and built a set from scratch.

Shorties Golf exists to make golf a household sport — one backyard, one family, one unforgettable round at a time. We build high-quality kids' golf equipment at prices that don't make parents wince, because we believe the best memories shouldn't have to come with a luxury price tag.

We're a tiny-but-mighty team based mostly remote, growing fast, and dead set on becoming the biggest name in kids' golf. We're not there yet — but we're getting there, and we want the right people in the seats when we do.

How to Apply

Send us an email at careers@golfshorties.com with:

We read every application. No bots, no auto-rejections. You're talking to real people here — and we'll treat your application like it matters. Because it does.
