About The Position

Strategic Retail Solutions (SRS) is seeking experienced, dependable, tech-savvy retail merchandisers for project-based assignments, including resets, remodels, audits, fixture installations, planogram implementation, and ongoing store service. The role is intended for merchandisers who take pride in their work, adapt to different projects, and provide reliable local coverage.

Merchandisers work independently in the field and receive instructions and support from the SRS team. Compensation varies by client and assignment; project details and pay are provided before scheduling, and select projects may offer additional bonuses or incentives. Pay is issued biweekly, with direct deposit available. A specific number of assignments or hours is not guaranteed. Texas and California positions are W-2 employee positions; opportunities in other states are 1099 independent contractor assignments.
