Bring the RW&CO. brand to life, one store at a time.

At RW&CO., great visual merchandising goes beyond creating beautiful spaces. It's about bringing fashion, customer experience and business performance together.

This is a standalone expert role with national reach, where your influence, visual expertise and business mindset will make a real impact.

What You'll Do

• Bring the vision to life: Translate national visual direction into clear, practical guidance that helps stores create inspiring, consistent and commercially effective customer experiences.
• Coach and empower: Partner with District Sales Managers, Store Managers and store visual talent to strengthen visual merchandising skills and build confidence in making smart visual decisions.
• Connect creativity with performance: Use sales trends, inventory, product performance and customer insights to identify visual opportunities that support business results.
• Be the voice of the field: Collaborate with Head Office Visual teams, sharing store insights and customer realities to help inform seasonal priorities, visual tools and execution strategies.
• Adapt with purpose: Guide stores in applying visual standards across different formats, assortments and customer profiles while staying true to the RW&CO. brand.
• Make execution easier: Identify opportunities to simplify visual processes, strengthen consistency and help retail teams take ownership of visual excellence.
