This role reports to the Sr. Merchandising Manager, Marketing, and is based in the greater Salt Lake City, UT area, working a hybrid schedule with regular in office time each week.

The Opportunity:

You'll own how our entire product catalog shows up to shoppers: sequencing, sorting, and optimizing category pages, search results, and product walls so the right gear surfaces at the right moment across every step of the shopping journey.

Within your first 6 to 12 months, you'll have a testing cadence running across sequencing, sorting, and search that's measurably lifting conversion and sell through, and you'll be the partner Buying, Content, and Marketing turn to for how a category or campaign should perform on site.

This is a lean team. You'll own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end to end responsibility.

A Look at the Work:

• Sequence and sort category pages, search results, and product walls using data driven rules and manual curation to maximize findability and conversion
• Manage facets, filters, relevance tuning, synonyms, and zero result reduction to optimize the on site search and browse experience
• Execute promotional placements, creative touts, and cross sell and up sell opportunities across category and search pages
• Maintain accurate, up to date product listings, including uploading new products, monitoring inventory, and correcting attributes that affect search and browse performance
• Design and run A/B tests on sequencing logic, sorting rules, facet presentation, and product wall layouts
• Use AI-assisted analysis to surface insights faster and translate test results into merchandising changes with a clear business case
• Track and report on merchandising KPIs (conversion, revenue per session, sell through, and search performance) on a regular cadence
• Partner with Buying, Content, Ecommerce, and Marketing to align merchandising strategy with inventory position and the promotional calendar

What You Bring:

• 4+ years of experience in ecommerce merchandising, category management, or digital merchandising, ideally in retail or DTC
• Proven track record designing and analyzing A/B tests that drove measurable conversion or revenue improvements
• Hands on experience with on site search/browse platforms (facets, filters, relevance tuning) and product information management tools
• Strong analytical skills, comfortable working in analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics) and translating data into merchandising action
• Experience partnering cross functionally with Buying, Marketing, and Technology teams
• Comfortable using AI assisted tools to accelerate analysis, testing, and reporting
• Self starter with strong problem solving instincts and a bias toward ownership and accountability

Bonus Points For:

• Experience in bike, outdoor, sporting goods, or specialty retail ecommerce
• Familiarity with enterprise search platforms (e.g., Algolia, Coveo, Bloomreach)
• Working knowledge of SQL or BI tooling for self serve reporting
