Manager, Sourcing - Consumer Electronics & Audio

About Lovesac

We are a young-at-heart, fast-growing furniture company, dedicated to helping people fill their homes with Total Comfort. We do this by designing and innovating furniture solutions that are adaptable, washable, expandable, and delivered-right-to-your-door-able, allowing our customers to live the life they want to live.

Our Designed for Life mission started with Sacs, a seat so much better than your classic beanbag made with repurposed Durafoam and designed to reduce environmental impact while providing unimaginable, cloud-like comfort. From there, we expanded the possibility for sustainable furniture with Sactionals, a customizable modular sectional that can be endlessly rearranged to evolve with you. Our product line has grown a lot since our Sacs days, but our goal will always remain the same - to create truly adaptable, comfortable furniture that can be with you for life.

About our Culture

At Lovesac, we strive to be an employer of choice by embodying a culture that encourages team members to think and dream big. We call this Top Ambition. We aim to not only excel within our industry, but also make a meaningful impact on the world. Above all else, we're driven by love (because it matters) and are dedicated to promoting love and happiness in all aspects of our work. It's about success, of course, but it's also about making a positive impact on everyone our business touches. By prioritizing work-life balance and flexible schedules, we help people find great fulfillment in their careers and their lives.
