About The Position

As a part-time Hallmark Merchandiser, you work independently in assigned retail stores to maintain and showcase Hallmark products, build relationships with store teams, and represent Hallmark. You collaborate with local store teams to optimize product placement and inventory, and may assist fellow merchandisers with seasonal resets and installations. On occasion, you may work with other companies’ products in the stores you service.

The role involves servicing Hallmark departments in grocery, drug, department, and mass retail stores. Using a Hallmark-provided mobile device, you restock, organize, and monitor Hallmark inventory, manage the product display at assigned stores, and use technology for communications, time reporting, feedback, surveys, and other merchandising activities. Professional and courteous interactions with store employees, management, and customers are important.

Work varies with seasonal demand. Around major holidays, expect additional workdays and extended hours; work on the holiday itself, potentially including weekends, may be required on some occasions. You may also participate in department resets, fixture installations, product and department relocations, and card-section resets. Remodel assignments are typically communicated two weeks in advance and may involve evening or weekend work. Merchandisers may support colleagues in other territories as needed.

This position has a variable work-week schedule averaging 8–10 hours per week. The starting pay rate is $13.50–$15.50 per hour, depending on skills and experience. Paid training includes live, hands-on instruction and virtual classroom training. Eligible employees receive annual pay increases. Part-time employees working fewer than 30 hours have access to voluntary benefits, including dental, vision, critical illness, accident insurance, hospital indemnity, and minimum essential coverage for preventive care.
