Director, DEI

About the Team

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team at Stitch Fix is responsible for the company’s vision and strategy for driving equitable outcomes across functions. Since its founding, Stitch Fix has prioritized principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion and is now focused on explicitly bringing those principles into a cross-company strategy. Our team leads that work in partnership with the Executive Leadership Team. We prioritize centering the voices of the most marginalized groups, partner to design systems that are optimized for equity, and co-create content and programming to build DEI capacity across the company. We are equal parts advisors and doers, and we hold ourselves and our partners across the company accountable for driving systemic change.

About the Role

As DEI Director, you will be the leader of the DEI function and report directly to the Chief People Officer.

This includes continuing the team’s work to drive execution and accountability against our DEI strategy, evolving DEI specific training and development opportunities, and managing and maximizing engagement and impact of Stitch Fix Communities (our 7 Employee Resource Groups). 

You will have an opportunity to bring your systems mindset and strong influencing skills to guide partners across the company to re-imagine their work through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion - from internal people practices, to product strategy, to how we show up to our clients. Your DEI subject matter expertise and skill working through complex problems will allow you to design and level-up strategies that address root causes of inequity across the company.
