About The Position

Rare Candy is hiring a Pack Merchandising Lead to build and market Instapacks using the company’s trading-card inventory. The role involves selecting chase cards, creating themes, curating cards, setting print-run sizes and pack structures, checking pack value and margins, and launching each run on time. The lead will also communicate drops to collectors through announcements, pull highlights, and stories about the featured chases. Working side by side with the pack builder and warehouse team in Dallas, this person will monitor pack performance, help maintain accurate inventory, identify buying needs, and keep the pack lineup fresh across price points and trading-card games. Over time, the role is expected to take ownership of the weekly build calendar and day-to-day pack building and drop marketing, improve pack templates and tools, and train the next pack builder.
