The Stylist Strategist is responsible for driving and evolving Huckberry’s unique style POV across all customer-facing channels—campaigns, editorial, ecommerce, retail, and beyond. This role is equal parts visionary and executor: setting the tone for what “style at Huckberry” looks like, building looks that resonate with our community, and bringing to life stories that bridge product, brand, and lifestyle.
You’ll own the full spectrum of styling direction, from ideation and look development through on-set execution, while also tightening the systems and processes that enable our production team to run efficiently. Collaborating deeply with Design, Merchandising, Marketing, and Content, you’ll ensure every expression of our style is consistent, intentional, and elevated.
This role is based out of our headquarters in Austin, TX; relocation support will be provided to a remote hire.
