Sales Merchandizer

A Sales Merchandiser is the crucial link between a brand’s warehouse and the retail shelf. They ensure that the right products are in the right place, at the right time, and look appealing enough to make a customer stop and buy. Unlike back-room stockers, a sales merchandiser splits their time between managing inventory, setting up eye-catching displays, and building relationships with store managers to maximize sales space. Key Responsibilities

• Inventory & Stock Management: Ensure shelves are consistently stocked, rotated (using First-In, First-Out / FIFO principles to manage expiration dates), and organized according to company standards.
• Visual Merchandising: Build, maintain, and dismantle eye-catching point-of-purchase (POP) displays, endcaps, and promotional layouts using specific guidelines (planograms).
• Relationship Building: Act as the primary liaison between our brand and retail store managers. Negotiate for prime shelf placement and additional display space.
• Market Intelligence: Monitor and report on competitor activities, pricing changes, inventory shortages, and damaged goods.
• Data Reporting: Use mobile logging apps to track daily visits, inventory levels, take before/after photos of displays, and upload sales performance data.
