Hallmark Cards • Sarasota, FL

3h • $15 - $17 • Onsite

About The Position

As a Merchandiser, you work independently to showcase organization and time-management skills, build retailer relationships, and represent Hallmark. You collaborate with local store teams to optimize product placement and maintain inventory, and support fellow team members with seasonal resets and installations as needed. You may occasionally work with other companies’ products in the stores you service.

You perform service work in Hallmark departments at grocery, drug, department, and mass-retail stores. The position has four components: day-to-day engagement, holiday support, department resets, and collaboration with the wider field merchandising team. You are responsible for the Hallmark product displays at your assigned stores, using a Hallmark-provided mobile device for merchandising activities and communication.

This is a part-time position with a variable schedule during the work week, averaging 9–12 hours per week. Availability before and after major holidays, potentially including weekends, is required. The role may also involve additional days and extended hours around holidays, seasonal changeovers, installations, and inventory support. Remodel assignments are typically communicated two weeks in advance and may involve evenings or weekends.

The work takes place on retail selling floors and in back stockrooms and is physically demanding. It requires frequent pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying of cartons, merchandise, and display fixtures weighing up to 30 pounds, and occasional handling of items up to 50 pounds. The work also involves kneeling, squatting, walking, and standing throughout the workday, and may require climbing stairs and step ladders.
