About The Position

As a Hallmark Merchandiser, you work independently in assigned retail stores 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 may support fellow merchandisers with seasonal resets and installations.

The role involves servicing Hallmark departments in grocery, drug, department, and mass-retail stores.
