About The Position

As a part-time Merchandiser, you will independently service the Hallmark department in assigned retail stores, showcasing organization and time-management skills, building retailer relationships, and representing Hallmark. You will work with store teams to optimize product placement and inventory, and may support fellow merchandisers with seasonal resets and installations. On occasion, you may work with other companies’ products in the stores you service.

The role includes day-to-day merchandising, holiday support, and department resets. Using a Hallmark-provided mobile device, you will restock, organize, and monitor products, report time, communicate with your supervisor, provide feedback, and complete required surveys.

Seasonal demand may require additional days and extended hours before and after major holidays; work on some holidays may be required. Reset assignments may involve building or installing fixtures, relocating card departments and products, and resetting card sections, sometimes during evenings or weekends. You will work independently and as part of a network of merchandisers who support one another across territories.
