MERCHANDISER

About the role

We are seeking a results-driven Merchandiser with a proven background in retail sales to manage product placement, maximize visual appeal, and actively drive field revenue. In this role, you will bridge visual merchandising with field sales strategy—engaging directly with store management to secure prime display positioning, optimize inventory, and boost product sell-through.

Key responsibilities

• Drive Field Sales & Revenue: Proactively engage with store managers and department staff to secure prime floor and shelf placement, driving sell-through and achieving assigned sales targets.
• Execute Visual Merchandising & Planograms: Build, maintain, and refresh eye-catching product displays, end-caps, and point-of-sale (POS) promotional setups according to company planograms to stimulate impulse purchases.
• Negotiate Display Space: Pitch and negotiate additional secondary display placements (e.g., promotional tables, feature displays, end-caps) during peak sales cycles and promotional campaigns.
• Optimize Stock Availability & Inventory: Regularly monitor stock levels across assigned retail outlets, perform inventory counts, and collaborate with store purchasing teams to re-order and eliminate stock-out or overstock scenarios.
• Analyze Sales Performance & Stock Movement: Track fast-moving and slow-moving items at the store level, using sales data to recommend stock reallocations, markdown actions, or targeted in-store promotions.
• Ensure Product Presentation & Quality: Inspect stock for damage or expiration, manage stock rotation (FIFO - First In, First Out), and maintain clean, accurately priced display areas.
• Gather Market Intelligence: Monitor competitor pricing, product launches, visual display tactics, and promotional activities, providing actionable feedback to management.

About you

• Minimum 1–2 years of hands-on experience in retail sales, field merchandising, or commercial brand representation.
• Deep understanding of planogram execution, cross-merchandising, shelf hierarchy, and eye-level positioning to drive sales volume.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and negotiation skills to build lasting relationships with store decision-makers and supervisors.
• Ability to interpret sales metrics, stock movement reports, and inventory turn rates to make strategic promotional adjustments.
• Hands-on experience executing end-cap setups, marketing campaigns, and POS material deployment.
• Familiarity with stock monitoring, re-order forecasting, shrinkage prevention, and product rotation protocols.
• Ability to lift display materials and stock boxes, travel regularly between assigned retail accounts, and work flexible retail hours.
