We're looking for an organized, execution-focused Merchandising Coordinator to manage the

merchandising are accurate across the store. If you love systems, checklists, and the
satisfaction of a well-organized aisle, this role is for you.

seasonal, promotional highlights, etc)
Coordinate markdowns and clearance placement for outgoing seasonal product

Merchandising Standards & Pricing Accuracy
Walk the floor daily to uphold merchandising standards — product faced, filled, sized,
and signed
Audit pricing across the store to ensure tags, signage, and POS match
Update promotional signage, and clearance tags promptly
Inventory & Back Stock
Partner on inventory flow between back stock and the sales floor
Keep back stock organized so product can be located and replenished efficiently
