About The Position

As a part-time Merchandiser, you independently service Hallmark departments in retail stores, using organization and time-management skills, building retailer relationships, and representing Hallmark.

On occasion, you may work with other companies’ products in the stores you service.

The role includes day-to-day work restocking, organizing, and monitoring Hallmark products and displays; seasonal holiday support, which may involve additional days and extended hours; and department resets, installations, fixture building, and product or department relocation. You use a Hallmark-provided mobile device for work tasks, communications, time reporting, feedback, and surveys. You are responsible for the Hallmark product display at assigned stores and may support other merchandisers in their territories.
