About The Job

Ready to bring ideas to life across stores, ecommerce, and everything in between? We're looking for a highly organized and detail-savvy Merchandising Operations Coordinator to help turn merchandising strategy into seamless execution. In this role, you'll be the go-to hub between our Merchandising team and key departments like Marketing, E-commerce, and Store Construction—driving clarity, alignment, and momentum for projects that shape how our customers experience our brand. This role is an excellent opportunity for someone who has demonstrated leadership as an Assistant Store Manager or Keyholder in a specialty retail store environment and is looking to transition into a corporate role where they can influence broader merchandising strategy and execution.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Own the backend details of our seasonal campaigns—from weekly systems code creation to maintaining projection files and visual layouts.
  • Keep our store teams informed and aligned through clear, timely merchandising directives and updates.
  • Maintain and update store prototype layout and feature maps, ensuring every store is optimized for customer impact.
  • Partner with Merchandising and Marketing to build and support the holiday visual planner guide.
  • Manage proprietary system portals on a weekly and seasonal basis—ensuring the latest information is at everyone's fingertips.
  • Support marketing and merchandising teams by approving key merchandising content, marketing kits, and store-specific assets.
  • Track and fulfill fixture requests from the field, coordinating with the fixture warehouse for timely delivery.
  • Keep our internal Merchandising homepage and product placement pages organized and current.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Merchandising, Business, or related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Understanding of merchandising and retail operations.
  • A knack for organizing details without losing sight of the bigger picture.
  • Strong writing skills with the ability to communicate clearly and concisely.
  • High level of initiative—you're a problem-solver and efficiency seeker.
  • Collaborative mindset—comfortable working cross-functionally to get things done.
  • Tech-savvy: Proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel, Word, Outlook).
  • Bonus points for experience with Adobe Suite, AutoCAD/Vectorworks, or video editing tools.
  • Comfortable juggling deadlines, shifting priorities, and multiple workstreams.
  • Enjoy both structure and creativity in your daily work.
  • Have a sharp eye for retail trends and visual presentation.

Additional Details:

  • Up to 15% travel to stores and meetings for project implementation and team collaboration.

This role offers the opportunity to be part of a dynamic team driving the execution of high-impact retail initiatives across all channels. If you're a detail-oriented professional with a passion for retail operations and cross-functional coordination, we encourage you to apply!
