About The Position

The Merchandiser works independently in assigned retail stores to represent Hallmark, maintain Hallmark product displays and inventory, and build relationships with store teams.

The position may occasionally involve other companies’ products in serviced stores.

This part-time role has a variable weekday schedule and averages 6–10 hours per week.
