Are you ready to turn your passion for sports and retail strategy into a career-defining opportunity? As the Director of Merchandise for the Stockton Thunder, you will be the creative force behind our brand’s physical identity, curating the apparel and novelties that our fans wear with pride. This is an incredible opportunity for a high-energy, detail-oriented professional to take the lead on our entire retail ecosystem. From scouting the latest trends and managing inventory levels to designing in-arena shopping experiences that capture the excitement of game day, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening the bond between our team and our community while directly driving our bottom-line success.

We are looking for a forward-thinking strategist who thrives in the fast-paced world of professional sports. You won’t just be managing stock; you will be telling the Stockton Thunder story through every hat, jersey, and souvenir on our shelves.
