Manager, Social Commerce

Who You Are:

The Manager, Social Commerce is responsible for building, operating, and growing Michael Kors’ emerging social commerce and marketplace channels.

They must balance brand integrity with commercial agility, moving quickly in fast-evolving environments while ensuring every touchpoint reflects Michael Kors’ brand standards. A passionate advocate for the customer, this person makes decisions by synthesizing multiple inputs — platform analytics, customer data, content performance, and competitive intelligence — to continuously optimize the social commerce experience. They will partner closely with Merchandising, Buying & Planning, Marketing, Creative, Social Media, CRM, Site Merchandising, Product Management, Technology, and Operations to activate and scale these channels.
