About Fooji

Fooji helps the world’s biggest brands connect with fans in unforgettable ways — from surprise deliveries to fully custom brand experiences that show up right at your doorstep. We blend creative ideas with flawless logistics to turn “what if” into “wow.”

We’re a fast-growing, fast-moving startup where creativity meets execution every single day. If you love great products, thrive in organized chaos, and get a rush from finding the perfect item that brings a brand to life — you’ll fit right in.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Creative Buyer — part trend-spotter, part problem-solver, and part sourcing expert.

You’ll partner with our Brand Strategy team to uncover fresh, on-brand product ideas for proposals and campaigns. One day you might be finding the perfect “cozy but premium” hoodie for a major coffee brand; the next, you’re quoting custom packaging for a new movie premiere. You’ll work directly with vendors, negotiate pricing, manage quotes, and make sure our creative ideas are production-ready.

This is a high-impact role for someone who loves moving fast, juggling multiple projects, and helping shape the experiences that define Fooji’s campaigns.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with Brand Strategy and Sales to bring campaign concepts to life with creative, high-quality product ideas.
  • Source unique items that align with each brand’s aesthetic, message, and budget.
  • Manage all RFQs (requests for quotes) — getting fast, accurate pricing from trusted vendors.
  • Maintain a pulse on product trends, materials, packaging, and sustainability.
  • Build and organize a living “product inspiration library” to help fuel future campaign ideas.
  • Partner with internal teams to ensure pricing accuracy and help the team hit margin targets.
  • Hand off finalized items and vendor details to Procurement for purchasing once campaigns are sold.

What Makes You Great

  • You’ve got 2–4 years of experience in buying, sourcing, merchandising, or promotional products — and you’re hungry to take it to the next level.
  • You love the hunt — finding that perfect product that nails the brief and makes people say “how did you find that?”
  • You move fast, stay organized, and thrive when deadlines are tight and ideas are flying.
  • You’re equal parts creative and analytical — you dream up fresh ideas and still know your margins.
  • You communicate like a pro, whether you’re chatting with a vendor or brainstorming with a designer.
  • You’re resourceful, curious, and wired for action — the kind of person who figures things out instead of waiting for instructions.
  • You’ve got an eye for aesthetics — you notice the details that make a product feel premium and on-brand.

Bonus Points If You...

  • Have experience working with Salesforce and Project Management tools (ie Asana, monday.com, etc.)
  • Know your way around vendors in the promotional, retail, or gifting spaces.
  • Are known for being the one people call when they need something impossible sourced yesterday.

All of the great perks of a startup environment plus:

  • Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance — 100% covered for employees
  • Unlimited PTO and sick days — Flexibility when you need it most.
  • Company paid Life insurance
  • Company paid LTD insurance
  • 401k
