Job Description

Hallmark is seeking a Part-Time Retail Merchandiser in Zachary, LA. This role represents the world's best-known greeting card brand and involves merchandising, creating, and building displays within your territory for a positive shopper experience. We offer work-life integration within the work week while supporting business needs. You will service stores based on the scheduling tool provided. Paid training, travel time, and mileage reimbursement are offered.

Job Overview: As a Retail Merchandiser, you will have the opportunity to work independently to showcase organization and time management skills, establish retailer relationships, and be the face of Hallmark. You will collaborate with local store teams to optimize product placement and maintain inventory levels, as well as support fellow team members with seasonal resets and installations when needed. On occasion, Hallmark may ask you to service another vendor's product in a store assigned to you. If that is the case, you will be provided detailed instructions and additional budgeted time.

Your Role and Responsibilities Will Include:
You'll perform service work in the Hallmark department of various retail stores such as grocery stores, drug stores, department stores, and mass retailers. The retail merchandiser position consists of three major components:

1. Day-to-Day Engagement: You are responsible for the entire Hallmark product display at your assigned stores. Utilizing a mobile device provided by Hallmark, you'll restock, organize, and monitor the inventory of Hallmark products within and outside the Hallmark department. While using your mobile device, you will also be in communication with your supervisor, reporting time, providing feedback, and answering surveys for required merchandising activities. Professional and courteous interaction with store employees, management, and customers is also vital for success in this role.
2. Holiday Support: Hallmark's operations revolve around seasonal demand. Leading up to and following holidays such as Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, you can expect additional days and extended hours during the work week. On occasions like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, you may be required to work on the actual holiday itself, which may include weekends.
3. Department Resets: At times, you may be part of a team responsible for installations and various tasks like building and installing Hallmark fixtures, relocating card departments and products, as well as resetting card sections. Typically, you will be notified two weeks in advance for remodel assignments. This could include evenings or weekends.
4. One Team Vision: As a field organization, although you are assigned to your specific responsibilities, there may be additional work and installation efforts that you will be asked and required to support.
