Category Manager Consultant

About us:

Welcome to The DOM Family! We are a 35+ year-old family-owned and operated business rooted in trust, innovation, and a deep commitment to families. Headquartered in New Jersey with a global footprint, our team is made up of passionate, experienced (and often parenting) professionals who design, develop, and manufacture baby products that parents love and families trust. Despite decades of experience, we embrace a start-up spirit–nurturing growth, valuing relationships, and constantly learning as we innovate across every aspect of our business.

We’re a fast-growing consumer brand with a strong presence across Amazon, Walmart, Target, and a DTC Shopify store. Our mission is to deliver high-quality, thoughtful products to parents who want the very best for their children. At our core, we’re a family–not just a team–driven by purpose, progress, and a shared goal of keeping customers happy at every touchpoint.
